W WARNING
6. Should the 3M™ Speedglas™ Auto-Darkening Filter G5-02 fail to switch to dark mode upon striking
an arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the welding lter as described in these User Instructions.
Continued use of a welding lter that fails to switch to the dark state may result in permanent eye
injury and vision loss. If the problem cannot be identied and corrected, do not use the welding lter;
contact your supervisor, distributor or 3M for assistance.
7. Cracked, pitted or scratched lter glass or protection plates may reduce vision and can seriously impair
protection. All damaged components should be replaced immediately. Ensure that your welding lter is
equipped with an outer/inner protection/cover plate.
8. The 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet G5-02 is not suitable for laser welding or welding processes that
require lters greater than Shade 12. Use of this product for these applications may result in permanent
eye injury and vision loss.
Limitations of Use
W WARNING
1. Severe burn injuries may result if this welding helmet is used for heavy-duty overhead welding
applications where there is a potential for falling molten metal.
2. This product is not a respirator. Welding may produce high levels of welding fume or other airborne
contaminants which may exceed the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). As a result, users and their
employer must determine the expected hazards, and if needed select appropriate respiratory protection.
Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators in a full respiratory protection program help protect
against certain airborne contaminants by reducing airborne concentrations in the wearer’s breathing
zone below the OEL. Failure to use respirators or misuse of respirators may result in overexposure to
contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
3. This welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding or welding processes that require lters greater than
Shade 12.
4. This welding helmet is not suitable for grinding operations.
5. Only operate the welding helmet system at temperatures between 23°F (–5°C) and 131°F (+55°C).
6. Do not use the welding helmet system in areas where contact with an open ame is possible.
7. The welding helmet is heat resistant but can catch re or melt in contact with open ames or very hot
surfaces. Keep the shield clean to minimize this risk.
8. These products are not formulated with natural rubber latex.
9. Do not immerse in water or spray directly with liquids.
10. Carefully check that the product is complete, undamaged and correctly assembled. Any damaged or
defective parts must be replaced before each use. Check for cracks and look for light leaks..
