Description of main parts

Operating instructions

1. Adjust the headgear diameter with the twist knob on the back. The knob is locked until pushed in. Once unlocked, twist clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Adjust the height by snapping the pin into the hole to lock securely in place.
3. To adjust the viewing angle, loosen the knob on both sides of the helmet and change angle locker to the desired tilt position (5 selection and positioned in the middle by default). Once achieving the desired angle, tighten the knobs until snug. The helmet should still swing up, but it should not drift downward when in place for welding.
4. To adjust the distance between the user’s face and ADF, loosen the knobs on both sides of the helmet until the headband can move back and forth freely, and reposition the headband at one of the 3 slots as desired (The headband is positioned in the middle by default). This should be done one side at a time and both sides should be located at the same position for proper auto-darkening filter operation.

Shade Control/Grind Mode
Select the shade 11 based upon the welding process you will use by consulting the “Shade Guide Table”. The variable shade control knob is mounted to shell for external adjustment. The welding helmet can also be used to protect the face when grinding. Grind mode prevents filter lens from auto-darkening.

Maintenance

Inside Cover Lens Replacement
Replace the inside cover lens if it is damaged (cracked, scratched, pitted or dirty). Place your finger or thumb into the recess and flex the inside cover lens up-wards until it releases from one edge. Then remove any protective film before installing the new one.

Keep the sensors, solar cell and filter lens clean. Clean filter cartridge and helmet shell by using a soapy water solution and soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergent. Switch the product to Grind Mode and put it in a clean, dry location for storage.
