AUTO-DARKENING WELDING HELMET
2014
WARNING
Please read all instructions before using this Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets DOES NOT protect against severe
impact hazards, such as broken grinding wheels or abrasive discs, explosive
devices or corrosive liquids. Machine guards or eye splash protection must
be used when these hazards ate present.
The auto-darkening welding filter is suitable for all Arc welding processes
such as MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc, and Carbon Arc.
This auto-darkening welding helmet is NOT recommended for “Overhead”
welding applications, Laser welding or Laser cutting applications.
In the event of electronic failure, the welder remains protected against UV
and IR radiation according to shade 16.
The auto-darkening welding filter should always be used with original inner
and outer cover lenses.
We are not responsible for any failure due to modifications of the welding.
Protection can be seriously impaired if unapproved modifications are made.

Note: When stored in extremely cold temperature, the helmet should be
warmed up to ambient temperature before welding.
DO
Ensure the front cover lens is mounted before using and the protective film on
the lens cover is removed.
Ensure that the lens is clean and there is no dirt or spatter covering the 4
sensors at the front of the filter cartridge.
Inspect all parts for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched or cracked parts
should be replaced prior to use.
DON’T
NEVER place the helmet on a hot surface.
NEVER open or tamper with the filter cartridge.
Two ranges of shade numbers, 5-9 and 9-13 are available in the dark
state.(Fig.1)
2. ON/OFF
The solar unit automatically switches ON when exposed to light.

ATTENTION!!
MAKE SURE that the Shade Adjustment Knob is on the ''5(9)-9(13)'' position,
NOT on ''GRIND'' position, before starting to weld.

Shade Adjustment Knob
(Fig.1)
Shade Range Select Switch
1
The ranges can be selected by the Shade Range Select Switch as shown on
Fig.1.
If the Shade Selection Switch is on the ''5-9'' position, then the shade selection
on the Shade Adjustment Knob is from 5-9 (MIN-MAX).
If the Shade Selection Switch is on the ''9-13'' position, then the shade
selection on the Shade Adjustment Knob is from 9-13(MIN-MAX).
Once the Shade Range is selected, the shade number can be adjusted by
turning the Shade Adjustment Knob. The arrow of the knob indicates the shade
setting.
Set the Adjustment Knob to ''GRIND'' position for grinding applications. the
filter will stay at Shade Number 4 and will not react to any welding arcs.
MAKE SURE TO RESET the knob back to ''“5-9/9-13” position (NON-GRIND
mode) after grinding.

OPERATION
1.ADJUST THE WELDING HELMER ACCORDING TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL
REQUIREMENTS
The headband should be adjusted both in circumference and height.
The angle between face and helmet should also be adjusted and recommended
to be 10°-12°.
4. DELAY TIME (Fig.2)
This Welding Helmet is featured with continuously adjustable delay time
control. The lens will lighten in 0.1 to 1.0 seconds upon ambient temperature
and shade setting. By turning the DELAY knob (on the rear of the cartridge)
clockwise, the delay time will increase from 0.1 seconds to 1.0 seconds.
Turn Knob counterclockwise for tack welding or production welding with short
welds. Turn Knob clockwise for welding at high amperage where there is an
after glow from the welding.
-5-
5. SELECT SENSITIVITY (Fig.3)
This welding helmet features continuously adjustable sensitivity control.
Sensitivity control knob is used to adjust how sensitive the auto darkening filter
reacts to the welding arc:
Turn the knob (on the back of the cartridge) clockwise when used for low
amperage welding (or stable ARC like DC-TIG), and the filter will become more
sensitive to welding arc.
Turn the knob counter-clockwise when used in brighter conditions except
for welding process that has very stable ARC like DC TIG, and the filter will
become less sensitive to welding arc.
NOTE: For DC-TIG applications, close to MAX positions of SENSITIVITY and
DELAY may be required according to your TIG amperage and welding
environment.

INSPECTION
1. Carefully inspect your Auto-Darkening Welding Filter regularly.
2. Cracked, pitted or scratched filter glass or cover lenses reduce vision will
seriously impair protection.
3. These should be replaced immediately to avoid injury to the eyes.
4. Inspect the helmet frequently and replace worn or damaged parts.
CLEANING
Clean the helmet with mild soap and lukewarm water.
Clean the welding filter with a clean lint-free tissue or cloth,
Do not immerse in water.
Do not use solvents.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
IRREGULAR DARKENING
Headband has been set unevenly so the distance between the eyes and the
lens is different from the left to the right side.
AUTO DARKENING FILTER DOES NOT DARKEN OR FLICKERS
Make sure that the adjustment knob is on "5-9/9-13" position.
Front cover lens is soiled, clean or replace it.
Photo sensors are dirty, wipe them clean with a soft lint-free cloth.
Welding current is too low, select the slow position on the filter and ensure the
view of the weld is unobstructed.
Change to high sensitivity.
Replace the two Lithium Batteries.
POOR VISION
Ensure the cover lens and the filter cartridge is clean.
Ensure the shade number is correct and adjust accordingly.
Ensure ambient light is not too low.
