  • Page 3: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This mask is not suitable for laser welding, laser cutting or overhead welding applications or for oxy-acetylene. • The protective plate in this headshield is breakable and will not protect against impact hazards. • This headshield is designed for use in grinding, arc welding or cutting applications such as MIG/MAG, TIG, MMA, Plasma Arc, and Carbon Arc.
  • Page 4 PREPARATION ADJUSTING THE HEADBAND TO FIT 1. The headband should be adjusted both in diameter and height to fit the wearer’s head. To do this, press in and turn the adjustment knob on the back of the headband either left or right to expand or contract the headband.
  • Page 5 SELECTING WELD OR GRIND SETTING The headshield has a ‘GRIND’ setting, on the outside selector knob. When set to ‘GRIND’ the auto darkening function is disabled. The headshield then provides eye and face protection for sparks and airborne particles created during grinding operations.
  • Page 6 SELECT THE SHADE SETTING WARNING: DO NOT USE FOR WELDING OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF DIN 9-13. INJURY TO THE EYES & LOSS OF EYESIGHT MAY BE CAUSED. On striking an arc, the light created will activate the solar cell and the window will automatically darken to a preset level.
  • Page 7: Care And Maintenance

    CARE & MAINTENANCE Damaged components must be replaced immediately to avoid risk of eye and face injuries. Periodically inspect the filter cartridge and lenses. Cracked, pitted or scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce the level of protection and should be replaced with genuine, certified spare parts. NEVER use sharp tools to remove foreign material sticking to the outer lens cover.
  • Page 8: Battery Replacement

    BATTERY REPLACEMENT The batteries should last approximately 5000 hours of normal use. If the LOW BATTERY lamp comes on, the battery should be replaced. Prise and slide the cover from the battery storage compartment. • A small screwdriver blade will be required to remove the cover and a pair of tweezers to extract the batteries.
