FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health
• Fumes from the normal use of welding
products contain significant quantities of
potentially hazardous compounds. See
consumable product label/insert.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use enough ventilation or local exhaust to keep fumes and
gases from your breathing zone and general area.
• An approved respirator should be used unless exposure
assessments are below applicable exposure limits.
• When welding with electrodes which may require additional
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on
container or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or on lead or cadmium
plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly
toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within
applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust
or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some
circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding on
galvanized steel.

.
The Viking PAPR 3350 respirator components and filtration
media must be used only in configurations listed on parts pages.
Refer to parts pages for list of approved components.
This respirator is not capable of or approved for use in an area
which includes hazardous levels of gases . It is only effective to
filter out particulate contaminants.
ARC Rays can injure eyes and burn skin
• Before welding, always inspect helmet and
filter lens to be sure they are fitted
properly, in good condition and not
damaged.
• Check to see that the clear lens is clean and securely attached
to the helmet.
• Always wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles under
the welding helmet and protective clothing to protect your
skin from radiation, burns and spatter.
• Ensure that optical radiation from other welder's arcs in the
immediate area does not enter in from behind the helmet
and auto-darkening filter.
• Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not
darken when arc is struck. See instruction manual
for troubleshooting information.
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this
helmet.
Note: Auto-darkening filters in Lincoln helmets are designed to
protect the user against harmful ultra-violet and infrared
rays both in the dark and light states. No matter what
shade the filter is set to, the UV/IR protection is always
present.
