USER MANUAL
Important
Please read and remember the following
instructions before use to ensure your own
safety. If you have any questions, please contact
the manufacturer or your distributor. Keep the
manual for future reference. The welding helmet
should be used only for the purposes listed in
this manual.
1. Introduction
When used in accordance with these
instructions, the CleanAIR® Verus / Verus air is
designed to protect the user´s eyes and face
from harmful radiation including visible light,
ultra-violet (UV), infra-red (IR) radiation and hot
sparks and spatters resulting from arc welding
and cutting applications such as MIG, MAG,
TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc, Carbon Arc gouging.
This auto-darkening welding helmet is not
recommended for heavy duty overhead welding
applications, laser welding or Iaser cutting
applications.
The CleanAIR® Verus air is adapted for use with
powered air purifying respirators (hereinafter
PAPR) CleanAIR® or with continuous flow
compressed air breathing apparatuses
(hereinafter „compressed air system") CleanAIR®
and thus provides protection of the respiratory
tract.
CleanAIR® is a system of personal respiratory
protection based on the principle of
overpressure of filtered air in the breathing zone
The respirator is placed on the wearer's belt
and filtrates the air which is taken in from the
surrounding environment and then delivers it
through the airduct into the protective helmet.
The overpressure prevents contaminants
from entering the breathing zone. This mild
overpressure at the same time ensures the
wearer's comfort, even with long-term use, as
the wearer does not have to struggle in their
breathing to overcome the resistance of the
filter.
2. Before you start working
• Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled
and that it completely blocks any accidental
light. In the front, light may enter the helmet
only through the viewing area of the auto-
darkening welding filter.
• Adjust the headgear to ensure maximum
comfort and to provide the largest field of
vision.
• Check the prescribed shade level for your wel-
ding application and adjust your auto-darkening
filter accordingly (see the table with recommen-
ded shade levels).
• Inspect that the protection plates are
undamaged, clean and installed correctly.
Replace the plate immediately, if it is damaged,
or if spatter or scratches reduce vision.
• Inspect that the welding filter lens is
undamaged and clean. The damaged welding
filter lens impairs protection and visibility and
must be replaced immediately.
• Inspect that the welding helmet and headgear
are undamaged.

/ CleanAIR® Verus air helmet only within the
temperature range of -5°C to +55°C.
• Do not use tempered mineral filters without
suitable protection foils.
• Replace protection plate immediately, if it is
damaged, or if spatter or scratches reduce
vision.
• Do not expose the auto-darkening welding filter
to liquids and protect it from dirt.
• Materials which may come into contact
with the wearer's skin could cause allergic
reactions to susceptible individuals.
• Welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic
spectacles may transmit impact, thus create a
hazard to the wearer.
