Spatter Protection (continued)
The Hawk

and Eagle
®
take a special 0.040” thick cover plate.
Using a nominal 0.060” cover plate will not work in this design.
The Hawk

Helmets are designed to accept polycarbonate cover plates
from the outside of the helmet without removing other components. This design
allows for quick and easy cleaning and cover plate replacement. The use on an
incorrect cover will distort the helmet and result in spatter entering the filter area.
Please use only ArcOne 0.040” inch cover plates in these products.
NOTE, change your cover plate when it loses its flexibility and or becomes bowed
or distorted. Clean any build-up from the area where the cover plate is retained.
All other helmet designs, other than the Hawk
®
and Eagle
®
, will accept either a
0.040” or a 0.060’ cover plate. Flip front designs must use 0.060” thick inner cover
plates for protection from particles produced when chipping or grinding.
The Hawk
®
and Eagle
®
have been designed to accept an additional protective lens.
This additional lens installs immediately in front of the auto-darkening filter and
behind the outer polycarbonate clear lens thus adding an even greater level of
spatter protection.
Users with excessive spatter applications can rely on the greater protection
provided by this options. See information below.
