WHAM10/WHAM30 Series Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet User Manual
BEFORE WELDING
This welding helmet is designed to protect the
welders' eyes from harmful radiation including
visible light, ultraviolet radiation (UV) and
infra-red radiation (IR) resulting from certain
arc and gas welding processes when used in
accordance with these User Instructions.
This welding helmet is suitable for all types
of electro-welding: covered electrodes, MIG/
MAG,TIG/WIG, plasma welding, cutting and
laser welding (only WHAM30 models with two
shade ranges, i.e. 5-8 and 9-13), except for
gas welding.
WARNINGS
Remove protection foil from both sides of
the cover lenses before use. Never place the
helmet or the filter on a hot surface. Use only
within the temperature range of -5°C to +55°C.
Do not immerse the filter (auto-darkening
filter] in water. Do not expose the filter to
liquids or dirt. Cracked or scratched protective
cover lenses should be replaced immediately.
If this helmet does not darken upon striking an
arc, stop welding immediately and contact
your supervisor or your dealer.
STORAGE, MAINTENANCE &
When not in use, the filter should be stored in a
dry place within the temperature range of-20°C
to +70°C. Prolonged exposure at temperatures
above 45°C may decrease the battery lifetime.
CLEANING
It is recommended to keep the solar cells of
the filter in the dark or not exposed to light
during storage in order to maintain power down
mode. This can be achieved by simply placing
the filter face down on the storage shelf.
It is always necessary to keep the solar cells
and the light sensors of the filter free of dust and
spatters: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue
or a cloth soaked in mild detergent (or alcohol].
Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone.
This welding helmet has no expiration date.
Do not use if damaged or malfunctioning.
COVER LENSES AND CARTRIDGE
Internal and external polycarbonate protective
cover lenses must be used in conjunction with
the autodarkening filter to protect it against
permanent damage.
Changing the Shade Cartridge: Remove filter
holder by releasing locks at bottom and sliding
down (Fig.1). Flex top end of the filter holder
to remove filter cartridge from the frame.

Fig.2]. Ensure the filter cartridge is inserted
into the filter holder correctly as shown, and
install filter holder assembly into helmet shell.

accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
