SECTION 8 − MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents to clean the helmet. Do not immerse the lens
assembly in water.
Keep helmet dry; do not expose helmet to rain or snow. Keep helmet away from fire and other
sources of heat.
The auto-darkening lens uses sensitive electronics. Do not drop helmet or handle it in a rough man-
ner.
The helmet requires little maintenance. However, for best performance clean helmet after each use.
Using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses clean. Allow
to air dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently wiping with a soft,
dry cloth.
Store helmet in a clean, dry, cool place free of solvent−based vapors. To prevent battery from losing
power, store helmet in helmet bag or in a dark location. Remove battery(s) if helmet will be stored
longer than six months.
End Of Useful Life
The welding helmet has no expiration date, and with proper care and maintenance it can provide
many years of eye and face protection. The helmet can continue to be used, provided that the helmet
shell/shroud is undamaged (no cracks, gaps, or holes) and the lens functions normally (switches
from a light state to a dark state.)

SECTION 9 − TROUBLESHOOTING
Trouble Remedy
Auto lens not On – auto-
lens does not darken mo-
mentarily when the On
button is pressed.
Check batteries and verify they are in good condition and installed
properly.
Check battery surfaces and contacts, and clean if necessary.
Check battery for proper contact and gently adjust contact points
if necessary. This is particularly important if the helmet has been
dropped. Verify left and right battery trays are installed on the
correct sides.
Not switching – auto-lens
stays light and does not
darken when welding or
cutting.
Stop welding or cutting immediately: Make sure the lens is turned
On.
If power is On, check the mode settings. Also review sensitivity
recommendations and adjust sensitivity if possible.
Clean lens cover and sensors of any obstructions. Make sure the
sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45 or more may not allow
the arc light to reach the sensors.
Auto lens not switching;
lens stays light and does
not darken when welding
(Fixed Shade #10 Hel-
mets).
Stop welding immediately. Make sure the lens solar cell is proper-
ly charged by placing the helmet in direct sunlight for 10 seconds.
If power is on, review the sensitivity recommendations and adjust
sensitivity. Clean lens cover and sensors of any obstructions.
Make sure the sensors are facing the arc; angles of 45 or more
may not allow the arc light to reach the sensors.
