Introduction
A welding helmet is a type of headgear used when performing certain types of welding to protect the eyes,
face and neck from flash burn, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light, and heat. The helmet consists of
several parts (see spare parts list). Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined with a protective
helmet and / or with a PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) system.
Safety instructions
Please read the operating instructions before using the helmet. Check that the front cover lens is fitted
correctly. If it is not possible to eliminate errors, you must stop using the cartridge.
Precautions & protective restrictions / Risks
During the welding process, heat and radiation are released, which can cause damage to the eyes and
skin. This product offers protection for the eyes and face. When wearing the helmet, your eyes are always
protected against ultraviolet and infrared radiation, regardless of the shade level. To protect the rest of your
body, appropriate protective clothing must also be worn. In some circumstances, particles and substances
released by the welding process can trigger allergic skin reactions in correspondingly predisposed
persons. Materials that come into contact with skin may cause allergic reactions to susceptible persons.
The protective welding helmet must only be used for welding and grinding and not for other applications.
The manufacturer assumes no liability when the welding helmet is used for purposes other than intended or
with disregard for the operating instructions. The helmet is suitable for all established welding procedures,
excluding gas and laser welding. Please note the recommended protection level in accordance with EN169
on the cover. Scratched or damaged lenses must be replaced. The helmet does not replace a safety helmet.
Depending on the model, the helmet can be combined with a protective helmet.
The helmet can affect the field of view due to constructive specifications (no view on the side without
turning the head) and may affect a color perception due to the light transmission of the auto darkening
filter. As a result, signal lights or warning indicators may not be seen. Further there is an impact hazard
due to a larger contour (head with helmet on). The helmet also reduces the audio and heat perception.
Warranty & liability
Please see the instructions of the national sales organisation of the manufacturer for warranty provisions.
For further information in this respect, please contact your official dealer. Warranty is only granted for
material and manufacturing defects. In the case of damage caused by improper use, unauthorised
intervention or through usage not intended by the manufacturer, the warranty or liability are no longer
valid. Likewise, liability and the warranty are no longer valid if spare parts other than those sold by the
manufacturer are used.
Expected Lifetime
The welding helmet has no expiration date. The product can be used as long as no visible or invisible
damage or functional problems occur.
How to use (Quick Start Guide)
1. Head band (p. 2-3) Adjust the upper adjusting band to the size of your head. Push in the ratchet knob
(p. 2) and turn until the head band fits securely but without pressure.
2. Distance from eyes and helmet angle (p. 2-3) By releasing the locking knobs, the distance between
the cartridge and the eyes can be adjusted. Adjust both sides equally and do not tilt. Then tighten the
locking knobs again. The helmet angle can be adjusted using the rotary knob.
3. Shade Level This welding helmet has a passive lens 11 if you need another shade level please order
at your optrel dealer (aviable shade 5-13)
4. Grinding / visual inspection (p. 2-3) By folding the Filter up, the welding helmet can be used for grinding
or visual inspections without compromising on safety. Never weld or grind without the safety lens.
Cleaning and disinfection
The passive lens and the front cover lens must be cleaned with a soft cloth at regular intervals. No strong
cleaning agents, solvents, alcohol or cleaning agents containing scouring agent must be used. Scratched
or damaged lenses must be replaced.

holder (for this step the safety lens must be buckled shortly to be able to place it properly).
Troubleshooting
Protection level too light
→ buy a darker passive lens
Protection level too dark
→ buy a brighter passiv lens
Poor vision
→ Clean the front cover lens, inside cover lens, grinding lens or passiv lens
→Use a passive lens according to the welding procedure
→ Increase the ambient light
Welding helmet slips
→ Adjust/tighten the head band (p. 2-3)
