The welding helmet HERMES LCD 9.13G complies with EEC directives 89/686 CEE. This confirmity is established in compliance with EN 175, EN 166, EN 168 and EN 379.
This welding helmet is delivered ready for use. For your protection, please read carrefully these instructions and consult with a qualified instructor prior to operation.
BEFORE WELDING
-Check that the welding helmet is in good condition and headband adjustment.
-Check whether the front cover lens, the front frame and filter are inserted and fixed in place. In case of anomalie, please proceed to its reconditionning.
-Make sure that the 2 sensors (9) and the cell (7) are not obstructed by dust or debris.

-Make sure that the red light (6) is off, otherwise change the batteries (5).
-Make sure that the filter is working properly by pressing the "TEST" button (1), the screen must get a dark shade.

OPERATION
The HERMES LCD 9.13G auto-darkening welding helmet switches from light to dark state when a welding arc is struck. The auto-darkening welding helmet switches back to
the light state when the arc stops.
• Internal sensitivity potentiometer : Sensitivity adjustable according to :
- Light ambient: Without welding, turn the sensitivity setting towards «max», then turn the sensitivity setting towards «low» until filter lightens.
- Welding process: «Max» position for low amperage TIG rpocess / Medium range for most application.
• Internal delay potentionmeter: Controls the delay for the helmet to switch back to clear after welding.
Delay is designed for slower switching time to clear state to eliminate remained bright rays.
• External potentiometer welding/grinding :
--Welding mode:
The shade number can be set manually between Din 9 to 13. Select a shade number by turning the external knob.
- «GRIND» knob: For non-welding operation, you can switch off the filter in»Grind» mode.
WARNING: When welding make absolutely certain that the switch is set back to WELD mode.
PRECAUTIONS
• The welding helmet is suitable for use with virtually all welding processes except Oxy-Acetylene welding, laser welding and gas welding.
• Standard protective screens must be installed on both inside and outside surfaces of the module. Failure to use protective screens may constitute a safety hazard or result in
irreparable damage to the module.
