Headgear Assembly Hardware Components:
#1 - Headgear Bolt
#2 - Angle Adjustment Lever
#3 - Interior Headgear Fitting
#4 - Exterior Headgear Fitting
#5 - Headgear Knob
Headgear installation should be completed one side at a time. The headgear as-
sembly components involved in the process are named, numbered, and pictured
above. Names and numbers will stay consistent throughout the installation.
Please Note: Some steps of the installation may already be complete at the time of
purchase. For example, the “Interior Headgear Fitting” and the “Exterior Headgear
Fitting,” #3 and #4 may be pre-installed, in which case Step 2 and Step 3 can be
skipped.

1.2 Safety Precautions - Hazards of Arc Welding
Do not weld in the overhead position with this helmet. Damage to the helmet and/or lens
resulting from overhead welding is NOT covered under warranty.
Only qualied users should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. Perform maintenance
and service according to the owner’s manual, industry standards, nation, state, and local codes.
Arc rays from welding processes produce both intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infra-
red) rays that can burn both eyes and skin. In addition, sparks can y o from the weld.
Users must wear a welding helmet tted with a proper shade of lter to protect the face and
eyes when welding or watching. Users must wear approved safety glasses with side shields
under the helmet. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from ash, glare, and
sparks; warn others in the area not to watch the arc without proper protection. Wear protective
clothing made from durable, ame-resistant material and foot protection. Welding helmets DO
NOT provide unlimited eye, ear, and face protection. Do not use this helmet while working with
or around explosives or corrosive liquids. Inspect the auto-darkening lens frequently. Immedi-
ately replace any scratched, cracked, or pitted lens covers or lenses.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing. Wear approved ear protection
in areas where noise levels are high. Welding processes produce fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. When inside, ventilate the area and/or
use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. When ventilation is
poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator. Read and understand the Material Safety Data
Sheets(MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners,
and degreasers. Work in a conned space only when it is well ventilated or while wearing an
air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases
can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Make sure the breathing air
is safe in your working area.
Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gasses. Do not weld on coated
metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from
the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coat-
ings and any metals containing these elements can give o toxic fumes if welded.
Selected various hazards are described above. Welding processes and/or workplaces may in-
volve hazards other than those described in this manual. This manual is not intended to be, nor
should be interpreted as, complete with regard to welding and/or workplace safety.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California
Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause
