INSTRUCTIONS for
Eye-Tech 11 Mono
Welding Helmet
P/N 15F22
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Wear safety

Safety Precautions
zz
zz
z Pitted or scratched plates reduce vision and protec-
tion. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
zz
zz
z Always keep the external and internal protective plates
in place. Failure to do so will allow welding spatter to
pit the front surface of the shade cartridge. This can
reduce the built-in UV and IR protection. (Also, the weld
spatter will void the warranty on the shade cartridge.)
zz
zz
z Do not attempt to open the shade cartridge.
zz
zz
z Do not use in cold weather (below 14° F).
zz
zz
z Keep solar cells clean. Clean with a damp not wet, cloth
dipped in soapy water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

zz
z Do not drop, strike, or bend helmet.

breathing devices, if necessary.

do not place on hot surfaces.
Operation
z Check to see if the front cover lens is inserted and front
lens frame is in place.
z Adjust the headband tension. The helmet is ready to use.
The cartridge will darken with arc ignition.
Troubleshooting
z Uneven darkening
- Protective helmet is not on straight, causing the dis-
tance between your eyes and the shade cartridge to
vary. If necessary, decrease distance to shade car-
tridge.
z The shade cartridge does not darken or it flickers
- Sensors are dirty; clean
- Front cover lens is dirty or damaged; clean or replace
- Welding current is too low
z Slow switching times
- Temperature is too low (should not be below 14° F)
- Lighting is insufficient
z Poor visibility
- Shade levels are set incorrectly
- Front or rear cover lens is dirty
- Room lighting is insufficient
z Welding helmet slips
- Headband is not properly adjusted (set too low)
If these faults cannot be corrected, do not use
helmet. Contact your distributor for assistance.
