WELDING HELMETS WITH FIXED GRADATION FILTER.
NB: In the text that follows, the term "helmet" and "filter" will be used.
1. GENERAL SAFETY FOR HELMET USE AND PROFESSIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE
The operator must be sufficiently trained on safe use of the welding machine and
informed on the risks relating to arc welding procedures, the relevant safety measures
and the emergency procedures.
• During welding, luminous radiation emitted by the electric arc
can damage eyes and burn skin; furthermore, welding produces
sparks and drops of molten metal can be projected in all
directions. It is therefore necessary to use the safety helmet to
avoid physical injury, which may even be serious.
• Avoid the welding helmet catching fire, for any reason, as the fumes produced are
harmful to eyes and, if inhaled, for the body.
• The material composing the complete helmet is free of hazardous substances and
does not present any risk for man or the environment.
• Regularly check the condition of the helmet and the filter:
- Before each use, check correct positioning and fastening of the filter and the
protective plates which must be exactly in the space described.
- Keep the helmet far from flames.
- The helmet must not be too close to the welding area.
- In prolonged welding, every now and then check the helmet for any deformations
or wear.
- For particularly sensitive people, the materials that come in contact with the skin
could cause allergic reactions.
• This helmet is only certified to protect the face and eyes from harmful ultraviolet
and infra-red radiation, from sparks and welding sprays; it is not suitable for
laser welding and oxy-acetylene welding and cutting or to protect the face from
explosions or corrosive liquids.
• Only replace helmet parts with others specified in this manual. Non-compliance
with this regulation can expose the operator to health risks.
• Protect the filter and the protective plates from contact with liquids and dirt.
• Never use the helmet without the internal or external transparent protective plates
of the filter.
• Check compatibility of the protective plates of the filter and the helmet: both should
be marked with the same impact resistance symbol against high speed particles, in
this case F. If the marking symbols are not common to both, the protective plates
of the filter and the helmet, then the lowest protection level of the helmet-filter
assembly should be used.
• The eye protection against high speed particles worn over standard glasses can
produce impact, thereby creating hazards for those who wear them.
• Do not use spare parts other than original TELWIN parts.
Unauthorised modifications and replacement with non-original parts will void the
warranty and expose the operator to the risk of personal injury.
• Remember to use the helmet, the filter and the relevant protective plates for a
maximum of 2 years. The duration of these items depends on various factors such
as the frequency of their use, cleaning, storage and maintenance. You are advised to
frequently inspect and replace if damaged.
PRECAUTIONS
To protect the user's safety, read these instructions carefully and consult a qualified
instructor or supervisor before starting work.
• These filters and protection plates can be used in all welding processes, with the
exception of oxy-acetylene welding and laser welding.
• The light protection plate in standard polycarbonate must be applied on both sides
of the filters.
• Non-use of the protection plates can be hazardous for safety or cause irreparable
damage to the filter.
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The "FORCE" model helmet is composed of a filter 100G; furthermore, it is composed of
transparent external and internal front guards.
The helmet was designed to guarantee correct eye protection during welding, as well as
providing the maximum performance both in facilitated assembly and the convenience and
quality of use: it guarantees permanent protection against UV and IR radiation and sparks
generated during the arc welding process.

The marking found on the FORCE helmet internal lower front section is composed of a series
of symbols with the following meanings:
16321 GX W15 C 1-M CE
numerical standard of legislation referenced when requesting certification
manufacturer's initials
welding protection

3.2.3 MARKING ON TRANSPARENT EXTERNAL GUARD
The marking on the transparent external guard model FC is composed of a series of symbols
with the following meanings:
numerical standard of legislation referenced when requesting certification
manufacturer's initials
optic class
mechanical strength: impact level 120 m/s

ATTENTION: If the protection letter against high speed particles marked on
the helmet and on the protection plates is not followed by the letter T, then
an eye shield should be used against the high speed particles only at
ambient temperature.
4. DESCRIPTION
4.1 HELMET AND MAIN COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY (Fig. A)
4.2 HELMET ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. B)
4.2.1 Adjustment of the perimeter strap (Fig. B-1)
The helmet must be adjusted to efficiently protect the eyes and face during welding.
The position of the front and rear strap can be manually adjusted to perfectly adapt to head
size.
Turn the knob (in some models, the knob must be pressed to turn it) to adapt the head strap.
4.2.2 Adjustment of the perimeter strip height (Fig. B-2)
The height can be adjusted to position the strap just over the eyebrows: tighten or loosen
the two graduated belts placed on the upper part of the head.
4.2.3 Adjustment of the distance between the face and filter (Fig. B-3)
Loosen the external knobs and slide forward or back until you obtain the desired position,
then tighten again.
4.2.4 Adjustment of inclination (Fig. B-4)
Ideal tilting of the helmet is where the eyes are perpendicular to the surface of the filter.
To adjust the visualisation angle, loosen the knobs on both sides of the helmet and set the
desired tilting of the helmet. If it is not possible to obtain the desired tilting, press the side
buttons and move the cursors simultaneously so that the helmet goes beyond limitation of
the preset angle.
5. ASSEMBLY
Assemble as in the drawing (FIG. A).
6. USE
The helmet must always and only be used to protect the face and eyes during welding.
The helmet and therefore the zone of the visual filter glass must be kept, during welding,
as near as possible to the eyes to protect them from luminous radiation and any drops of
molten metal.
Before starting the welding process, check the filter, the external and internal guards are
correctly positioned.
Adjust the "Shade" luminous gradation, in the models where this is possible, based on the
current and the welding procedure.
Table 1 gives the recommended "shade" luminous gradation numbers for using an electric
arc welding machine to carry out common jobs and the different welding current intensity
levels. Check the intensity of the current and the welding procedure are suitable for the
