USER INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these user instructions in conjunction with other relevant
user instructions and reference leaflets where you will find information on
approved combinations, spare parts and accessories.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The product helps protect the wearer's eyes and face. It gives
permanent protection from sparks/spatter, UV- and IR radiation resulting
from certain arc/gas welding processes (shade 12 equivalent regardless
of whether the filter is in the light or dark state or whether the
auto-darkening function is operational).
WARNING!
Proper selection, training, use and appropriate maintenance are
essential in order for the product to help protect the wearer. Failure to
follow all instructions on the use of these personal protection products
and/or failure to properly wear the complete product during all periods of
exposure may adversely affect the wearer's health, lead to severe or life
threatening illness or permanent disability. For suitability and proper use
follow local regulations and refer to all information supplied.
^ Particular attention should be given to warning statements
where indicated.
APPROVALS
The product has been shown to meet the Basic Safety Requirements
under Article 10 of the European Directive 89/686/EEC and is thus CE
marked. The product complies with the harmonized European Standards
EN 175, EN 166 and EN 379. The product was examined at the design
state by DIN Certco Prüf- und Zertifierungszentrum (Notified Body
number 0196).
LIMITATIONS OF USE
^ Only use with original 3M branded spare parts and accessories listed
in these user instructions and within the usage conditions given in the
technical specifications.
^ The use of substitute components, decals, paint or other modifications
not specified in these user instructions might seriously impair protection
and may invalidate claims under the warranty or cause the product to be
noncompliant with protection classifications and approvals.
^ Eye protectors worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may
transmit impacts thus creating a hazard to the wearer.
^ Use of this product in applications outside its intended use, such as
laser welding/cutting, may result in permanent eye injury and vision loss.
^ Severe burn injuries may result if these welding helmets are used for
heavy-duty overhead welding applications where there is a potential for
falling molten metal.
^ Should the product fail to switch to the dark state in response to an
arc, stop welding immediately and inspect the welding filter as described
in these instructions. Continued use of a welding filter that fails to switch
to the dark state may cause temporary vision loss. If the problem cannot
be identified and corrected, do not use the welding filter, contact your
supervisor, distributor or 3M for assistance.
^ Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's skin are not
known to cause allergic reactions to the majority of individuals. These
products do not contain components made from natural rubber latex.
^ Flashing light sources (i.e. flash tube strobe lights, safety warning
lights, etc.) can trigger the welding filter causing it to flash even when no
welding is occurring. This is inherent with all auto-darkening filter
technology. This interference can occur from long distances and/or from
reflected light. Welding areas must be shielded from such interference,
or replace lights with an LED strobe light.
MARKINGS
The welding filter is marked with the shade range and optical
classifications. The following is an example (EN 379):
3 / 8-12 3M 1 /1 / 1 / 2 / EN379 CE
Light shade
Dark shade(s)
Manufacturer identification
Optical class.
Diffusion of light class
Variations in Luminous transmittance class
Angle dependency class
Certification mark or number of standard
Note! The above is an example. Valid classification is marked on the
welding filter.
3M 1BT (EN166 optical class 1, medium energy impact at extremes of
temperatures (-5°C and +55°C) BT).
3M EN175B (number of standard EN 175, medium energy impact B)
3M S (increased robustness S) Additional markings on the product refer
to other standards.
^ L = Read instructions before use
O
= Shall be disposed of as electrical and electronic waste
PREPARATION FOR USE
Carefully check that the product is complete (see fig A:1), undamaged
and correctly assembled, any damaged or defective parts must be
replaced before each use. Check for cracks in the helmet and look for
light leaks.
^ Cracked, pitted or scratched filter glass or protection plates reduce
vision and can seriously impair protection. All damaged components
should be replaced immediately. Remove any protective film before use
and ensure that your welding filter is equipped with an outer/ inner
protection/cover plate.
^ The welding helmet is heat resistant but can catch fire or melt in
contact with open flames or very hot surfaces. Keep the shield clean to
minimize this risk.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Adjust the welding helmet according to your individual requirements to
reach the highest comfort and protection (see fig B:1- B:3). Shade
number may be chosen according to table (see fig G:1). To activate the
welding filter, press the SHADE/# button. The welding filter
automatically turns OFF after 1 hour of inactivity.
SHADE
To select another Shade Number, press the SHADE/# button
repeatedly.
SENSITIVITY SETTING
The sensitivity setting of the weld arc detection system can be adjusted
to accommodate a variety of welding methods and workplace conditions.
In order to see the current sensitivity setting momentarily press the
Sensitivity button. To select another setting press the Sensitivity button
repeatedly until the indicator shows the desired setting.
Position 1 Least sensitive setting. Used if there is interference from
other welders arcs in the vicinity.
Position 2 Normal position. Used for most types of welding indoors and
outdoors.
Position 3 Position for welding with low current or with stable welding
arcs. (eg TIG welding).
Position 4 Suitable for very low current welding, use of inverter type
TIG welding machines.
DELAY
The delay function should be used to set the recovery delay of the
welding filter from dark to light according to welding method and current
Position - Short opening time
Position I Normal opening time
Position + Long opening time
IN USE
The batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator flashes
or indicators do not flash when the buttons are pressed.
The sensors (see fig A:2) on the welding filter must be kept clean and
uncovered at all times for correct function.
CLEANING/ DISINFECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the welding filter and protection/cover plates with a lint-free tissue
or cloth. Clean the welding helmet with a mild detergent and water.
^ To avoid damage to the product do not use solvents for cleaning. Do
not immerse in water or spray directly with liquids.
MAINTENANCE

• headband see fig B:4 -B:5
• outer protection plate see fig C:1
• inner cover plate see fig D:1 -D:2
• welding filter and front cover see fig E:1 -E:8
• batteries see fig F:1
^ The used batteries/worn out product parts should be disposed of
according to local regulations. The welding filter should be disposed of
as electronic waste.
