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 working with or around explosives or corrosive
liquids. This helmet is not rated for overhead welding. Do not weld in the direct overhead position while using this helmet unless addi-
tional precautions are taken to protect yourself from arc rays, spatter, and other hazards. Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately
replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses. Use helmet for welding/cutting applications only.

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 from arc rays and sparks when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards). Refer to Shade
and Sensitivity charts. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet. Use protective screens or barriers to protect
others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc. Wear body protection made from durable, flame-resistant material
(leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes,
and a cap.

3. Operating Instructions And Troubleshooting
The fixed shade models have no buttons or controls. The lens
turns on (darkens) automatically when welding begins and turns
off when welding stops. To ensure proper function, charge lens
internal battery prior to first use or after extended storage (about
30 days). Charge battery by either of these methods:
S Expose lens to direct sunlight for 10 seconds.
S Expose lens to artificial light (light bulb) for 20 seconds.
After initial charging, the welding arc will maintain the charge in
the battery.
Trouble Remedy
Auto lens not switching; lens stays light and
does not darken when welding.
Stop welding immediately. Press the Reset button on variable shade helmets. On fixed-shade helmets, make
sure the lens solar cell is properly charged by placing the helmet in direct sunlight for 20 minutes. 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.
