The RAZORWELD 8000X is an auto-darkening welding helmet designed to provide face and eye protection during various welding, cutting, spraying, and arc gouging applications. It incorporates advanced integrated technology, including LCD, optoelectronics detection, solar power, and microelectronics, to offer a safe, fast, and reliable auto-darkening experience. The helmet's High Definition Filter Optics deliver improved clarity, allowing operators to work with precision and increased efficiency.
Function Description:
The helmet automatically adjusts its shade level based on the intensity of the welding arc, protecting the operator's eyes and face from sparks, spatter, and harmful radiation. This auto-darkening feature allows both hands to remain free, facilitating accurate arc striking and contributing to improved weld quality. The helmet offers both auto and manual shade modes, grind mode, and adjustable sensitivity and delay settings.

Usage Features:
- Auto Shade Mode: In this mode, the ADF automatically adjusts to an appropriate shade based on the welding arc. The shade can be fine-tuned by ±2 shades (from a lowest of 5 to a highest of 13) using the external shade knob (Position 8). The LED display (Position 24) shows the current shade number.
- Manual Shade Mode: The operator can manually control the shade. Pressing the Shade button (Position 25) switches to manual mode. A switch (Position 33) on the potentiometer allows selection between shade ranges 5-9 and 9-13. The external shade knob (Position 8) adjusts the shade within the selected range (5-9 or 9-13).
- Grind Mode: The helmet can be switched between welding and grind modes. Pressing and holding the external GRIND button (Position 7) for 2 seconds activates grind mode, indicated by a flashing Grind LED (Position 29). Holding the button again returns to welding mode.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: The SENS button (Position 26) cycles through 5 sensitivity levels (1-low to 5-high), displayed on the LED (Position 24).
- Delay Adjustment: The Delay button (Position 27) cycles through 5 delay time levels (1-short to 5-long), also shown on the LED (Position 24).
- Lock Shade: Pressing and holding the Delay button (Position 27) for 2 seconds activates Lock Shade mode, keeping the ADF darkened. The shade number can be adjusted from 5 to 13 using the external shade knob (Position 8). A flashing Lock Shade Indicate LED (Position 28) confirms this mode. Holding the Delay button again for 2 seconds exits Lock Shade mode.
- Low Battery Indicator: A RED LED (Position 29) indicates when the battery power is low, signaling the need for replacement.
- Headgear Adjustments: The headgear offers five parameters for adjustment to ensure a comfortable and secure fit:
- Eye Level: Adjusted via Headband adjusting buttons (1).
- View Angle: Adjusted via Segmental positioning plate (2).
- Head Size Perimeter: Adjusted by pushing and turning the Headband tightness adjusting knob (3).
- Eyes Distance from ADF: Adjusted by moving Headgear screws to one of the 5 slots on the Headgear slider (4), ensuring equal positioning on both sides.
- Headgear Height: Adjusted by moving Block washers (5) up or down on the Block washer adjustment (6).
- True Color Technology: The helmet features True Color technology, which provides improved clarity and a full spectrum of colors in the light state, enhancing weld quality, efficiency, and safety.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The helmet requires minimal maintenance. It should be wiped with a clean, soft cloth moistened with soft soap, pure alcohol, or a commercial disinfectant.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a dry place.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all operating parts for signs of wear or damage. Any scratched, cracked, or pitted parts should be replaced immediately.
- Protection Lenses: Ensure both inside and outside protection lenses are clean and free of dirt covering the sensors. Remove any protective films from new lenses.
- Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator illuminates, remove the battery cover (Position 31), replace the old battery with two new CR2450 batteries, and reassemble the cover.
Warnings:
- Not suitable for "overhead" welding, laser welding/cutting, or oxyacetylene welding/cutting.
- Does not protect against explosive devices or corrosive liquids; machine guards or eye splash protection must be used when these hazards are present.
- Impact-resistant primary eye protection (spectacles or goggles meeting current ANSI specifications) must be worn at all times.
- Avoid work positions that expose unprotected body areas to sparks, spatter, or radiation.
- Do not modify the ADF cartridge or helmet beyond specified instructions.
- Use only specified replacement parts.
- Not waterproof; do not immerse in water.
- Do not use solvents on ADF or helmet components.
- Do not use outside the recommended operating temperature range (-10°C to 65°C).
