INSTRUCTIONS for

Eye-Tech 10-12 Select

Welding Helmet

P/N 15F20

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Wear safety

glasses and set proper filter shade. See ANSI/AWS

Z49.1 for guide. Available from American Welding

Society, Miami, FL 33135.

The Eye-Tech 10-12 Select welding helmet is deliv-

ered fully assembled and ready for use. You only need

to adjust the headband and set the shade level. The

shade cartridge automatically darkens with arc igni-

tion.

Safety Precautions

l Pitted or scratched plates reduce vision and protec-

tion. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

l 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 car-

tridge.)

l Do not attempt to open the shade cartridge.

l Do not use in cold weather (below 14° F).

l Keep solar cells clean. Clean with a damp not wet,

cloth dipped in soapy water. Dry with a soft, clean

cloth.

l Do not drop, strike, or bend helmet.

l Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

l Fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Ventilate area or

use breathing devices, if necessary.

Keep helmet dry (especially the shade cartridge) and

do not place on hot surfaces.

Operation

l Set the slideswitch until it clicks to the shade level recom-

mended for your arc welding process. If you have doubts,

start with slideswitch in the 11-12 position. If you find that

the arc zone is too dark, then set slideswitch to the 10-11

position.

l Check to see if the front cover lens is inserted and front

lens frame is in place.

Troubleshooting

l 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 cartridge.

l 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

- Slideswitch not set properly (is in non-active center

position).

l Slow switching times

- Temperature is too low (should not be below 14° F)

- Lighting is insufficient

l Poor visibility

- Shade levels are set incorrectly

- Front or rear cover lens is dirty

- Room lighting is insufficient

l 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.
