ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and face protection.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.

(No. 5-9/9-13)
Reference: ANSI Z49.1:2005
*Start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone. Then, go to a lighter shade which gives asufficient view of the weld zone without going below the minimum.
Recommended Sensitivity Settings | |
Stick Electrode | Mid-Range |
Short Circuiting (MIG) | Low/Mid-Range |
Pulsed & Spray (MIG) | Mid-Range |
Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) | Mid/High-Range |

There are four headgear adjustments: headgear top, tightness, angle adjustment, and distance adjustment.
Never use the auto-darkening lens without the inside and outside lens covers properly installed. Welding spatter will damage the auto-darkening lens and void the warranty.
Outside Lens Cover
Push down the snap on the bottom of the lens frame.
Rotate the frame clockwise to take it out. Remove the outside lens cover by pushing it into the helmet and reinstall outside lens cover.
There is a cable connecting the battery and the lense. Please be careful not to break it.
Inside Lens Cover
Remove the inside lens cover by prying cover from groove in gasket and reinstall a new one.
NOTICE - Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents.
NOTICE - Do not immerse the lens assembly in water.
The helmet requires little maintenance. However, for best performance clean after each use. Using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses clean. Allow to air dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
Trouble | Remedy |
Auto lens not ON — autolens will not darken momentarily when the Reset button is pressed. | Check batteries and verify they are in good condition and installed properly. Also, check battery surfaces and contacts and clean if necessary. Check battery for proper contact and gently adjust contact points if necessary. This is particularly important if the helmet has been dropped. Verify left and right battery trays are installed on the correct sides. |
Not switching auto-lens stays light and will not darken when welding. | Stop welding immediately: Press the Reset button if lens is Auto-On type. If lens is Manual-On type, make sure the lens is turned On. If power is on, review the sensitivity recommendations and adjust sensitivity. Clean lens cover and sensors of any obstructions. Make sure the sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45° or more may not allow the arc light to reach the sensors. |
Not Switching —auto-lens stays dark after the weld arc is extinguished, or the auto-lens stays dark when no arc is present. | Fine-tune the sensitivity setting by making small adjustments to the control by turning it toward the "min" setting. In extreme light conditions, it may be necessary to reduce the surrounding light levels. |
Sections of the auto-lens are not going dark, distinct lines separate the light and dark areas. | Stop welding immediately: The auto-lens may be cracked which can be caused by the impact of dropping the helmet. Weld spatter on the auto lens may also cause cracking. (The lens may need to be replaced; most cracked lenses are not covered by warranty). |
Switching or Flickering — the auto-lens darkens then lightens while the welding arc is present. | Review the sensitivity setting recommendations and increase the sensitivity if possible. Be sure the arc sensors are not being blocked from direct access to the arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that may be blocking the arc sensors. Increasing Lens Delay 0.1 - 0.3 second may also reduce switching. |
Inconsistent or lighter auto-lens shading in the dark-state, noticeable on the outside edges and corners. | Referred to as an angle of view effect, auto-darkening lenses have an optimum viewing angle. The optimum viewing angle is perpendicular or 900 to the surface of the auto-lens. When that angle of view varies in the dark-state, welders may notice slightly lighter areas at the outside edges and the corners of the lens. This is normal and does not represent any health or safety hazard. This effect may also be more noticeable in applications where magnifying lenses are used. |
