APPLICATION
The NS-HMC1 Multi-Angle Helmet Mount is a mounting bracket for
attaching a fl ashlight that has a 1" handle diameter to any Fire Helmet or
Hard Hat.
The Multi-Angle Helmet Mount can be attached to either side of virtually
any Fire Helmet or Hard Hat and provides 140 degrees of adjustability. This
adjustability allows the user to best position the light for purposes of providing
clearance around face shields, goggles or other potential obstructions.

INSTALLING THE LIGHT INTO THE MULTI-ANGLE MOUNT
Image 1
Begin by deciding which side of the helmet the NS-HMC1 and fl ashlight
are to be attached. This will determine the proper orientation of the light in
the mount. Additionally check that the fi nal location on the helmet does not
interfere with the normal operation of face shields, goggles, etc.
Remove the 5/16" - 18 x 1/4" Light Mounting Allen Set Screw from the
Multi-Angle Helmet Mount and slip the fl ashlight into the mount. (Image 1)
NOTE: The Multi-Angle Helmet Mount may be positioned anywhere
along the length of the fl ashlight handle. (Image 2)
Once the light is in the proper position, re-install the Light Mounting Allen
Set Screw and tighten, securing the fl ashlight in place. (Image 3)
CAUTION: Be careful when tightening the Allen Set Screw. Do not
over-tighten. Doing so may damage the handle of the light. The Allen
Set Screw should only be tightened enough to prevent the light from
coming loose. Over time this screw may come loose. Periodically
check and re-tighten as needed.
SUGGESTION: Application of a thread locking solution (such as Loctite®
Threadlocker Blue) may be applied to secure the Allen Set Screw. Do not
use the "red" version of this product as it is designed for a more permanent
installation and would make it diffi cult to remove the Allen Set Screw in the
future.
INSTALLING THE NS-HMC1 & LIGHT ON TO THE HELMET

Once the fl ashlight has been installed into the Multi-Angle Helmet Mount,
the entire unit is ready to be attached to the Fire Helmet or Hard Hat. The
Multi-Angle Mount comes with two 5/16" - 18 x 1/4" Brim Mounting Allen
Set Screws pre-installed. These two Allen Set Screws are designed to be
used with the thicker brim found on most Fire Helmets. (Image 4) It may be
necessary to switch these two Allen Set Screws with the 5/16" - 18 x 3/8" set
if the thickness of the brim of the helmet or Hard Hat makes it impossible to
use the shorter set. (Image 5)
Position the Multi-Angle Mount over the edge of the brim and tighten the
appropriate set of Allen Set Screws using the included 5/32" Allen Wrench.

CAUTION: Be careful when tightening the Allen Set Screws. Do not
over-tighten. Doing so may damage or crush the brim of the Fire Helmet
or Hard Hat. These two Allen Set Screws should only be tightened
enough to prevent the mount from coming loose from the helmet. Over
time these screws may come loose. Periodically check and re-tighten
as needed.
SUGGESTION: Application of a thread locking solution (such as Loctite®
Threadlocker Blue) may be applied to secure these Allen Set Screws. Do not
use the "red" version of this product as it is designed for a more permanent
installation and would make it diffi cult to remove these Allen Set Screws in
the future.
