SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Read before using
Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown in the
adjoining symbols.
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.
• Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes
when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards). Refer
to Shade and Sensitivity charts in Section 2.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare; warn others not
to watch the arc.
• Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather and wool)
and foot protection.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and face protection.
• Use impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all times when
using this welding helmet.
• Do not use this helmet while performing grinding operations, working with or around
explosives or corrosive liquids.
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
• Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediatly replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted
cover lenses or auto-lenses.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
• Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
ON /Auto-Off Button
Locate the ON button and press ON to weld, the lens will automatically darken twice and then
return to the light state, the helmet is then ready to weld.
Note: The lens will Auto-Off (clear state, N°4) after 15-20 minutes after the last arc. It will be
necessary to press the ON button to resume welding.
Variable Shade Control (N°9 - N°13)
Use the shade chart below to select proper shade control setting based on your welding process.
We recommend starting at shades 12 or 13 and adjust lighter based on the welding application
and personal preference.

Sensitivity Control
The sensitivity control is used to make the lens more responsive to differing light levels
experienced in various welding processes. We recommend a Mid-Range setting for most
applications. See Adjusting Sensitivity and Recommended Sensitivity Settings sections
following.
It may be necessary to adjust helmet sensitivity to accommodate different lighting conditions or
if lens is flashing On and Off.
Adjust helmet sensitivity as follows: adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting conditions helmet will
be used in.
1. Turn sensitivity control to lowest setting.
2. Press On/Off Button to turn helmet On. Helmet lens will darken twice and then clear.
3. Face the helmet in the direction of use, exposing it to the surrounding light conditions.
4. Gradually turn sensitivity setting clockwise until the lens darkens, then turn sensitivity control
counterclockwise or adjust with the digital control inside the mask until slightly past setting
where lens clears. Helmet is ready for use. Slight readjustment may be necessary for certain
applications or if lens is flashing on and off.

Lens Delay Control
The lens delay control is used to slow the lens-switching time to the clear state after welding.
The delay is particulary useful in eliminating bright after-rays present in higher amperage
9
applications where the molten puddle remains bright momentarily after welding. Adjusts from
10
(.10 second-Min. to 1.0 second-Max).

Adjusting Headgear for Maximum Comfort
13
1. Headgear Top - Adjusts headgear for proper depth on the head to ensure correct balance and
10
stability.
11
2. Headgear tightness - To adjust, push in the adjusting knob located on the back of the
12
headgear and turn left or right to desired tightness. Note: if adjustment is limited, it may be
13
necessary to remove the comfort cushion.
12
3. Distance adjustment - Adjusts the distance between the face and the lens. To adjust, loosen
13
both outside tension knobs and press inward to free from adjustment slots. Move forward or
back to desired position and retighten. (Both sides must be equally positioned for proper
11
vision.)
12
4. Angle adjustment - Four pins on the right side of the headband top provide adjustment for
13
the forward tilt of the helmet. To adjust, loosen the right outside tension adjustment knob then
9
lift on the control arm tab and move it to the desired position. Retighten tension adjustment
10
knob. When using either the front or back distance adjustement positions, only the center
12
three anle adjustment pins can be used.
