HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WELDING HELMETS
Severe burns are possible with a damaged lens (cracks, pits and holes etc.).
Do not use damaged lenses.
Optical radiation can possibly enter in from behind the helmet from other welders
welding in the immediate area.
This helmet is not designed for oxyacetylene, laser or very low amperage welding
applications. (Arc detection may be impaired due to amperage, distance from the arc,
welding copper, frequency, electrode type, shielding gasses and lighting conditions).
This helmet is not designed to protect against severe impact, explosives or fragments
from spinning wheels on abrasive discs.
Do not weld in the light state.
If filter fails to turn dark. Immediately stop welding.
Do not use in an excessive heat environment.
Ensure that the sensors are kept clean.

8.1 COMFORT AND FIT ADJUSTMENTS -
FIG. 1
Push and move strap (5) to obtain correct height.
Turn (4) for helmet angle adjustment.
Push and turn (6) to vary head size, pull knob again
to lock position.
Loosen knob (4) to adjust distance from face/eyes.
8.2 BEFORE FIRST USE
Tear off the cover lens’ screen film on both sides of
the filter cartridge before using the helmet.
Adjust and select the desired shade no. according to
the type of welding and current of weld to suit your
requirements.

(6) to achieve a stable fit remembering to pull out
the locking knob on the retaining band to fix the
position.
The helmet face shield can be adjusted further away
or closer to the users face, this is achieved by
loosening knobs (4) and sliding the face shield
forwards or backwards. When tightening these
knobs back up adjust the tension just enough to
allow the face shield to remain in the raised position
due to the friction of these knobs.
8.3 PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
When arc is struck, Auto-darkening filter will turn
from a clear state to a dark state, response time is
less than 0.1ms.
The high performance of the Auto-Darkening filter
provides the user's eyes and face full protection
against UV and IR radiation during the entire
welding process. The UV/IR protection level is up to
shade 13 (DIN). This product is in full conformity
with related DIN & EN safety standards.

9. MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will
keep the product in good working condition.
If the replacement of the part is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his
agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
All servicing and maintenance not listed in this manual must be carried out by an approved
Draper service agent (see back for contact details).
Filters require virtually no maintenance other than periodic cleaning when the lens, solar
panel, and/or sensor(s) become dirty or clouded from smoke. Clean your filter by using
window cleaner or a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth or paper towel (do not immerse in
water or solution). Change the cover plates frequently.
Welding helmets require virtually no maintenance other than periodic cleaning when dirty.
Clean your helmet by using a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth or paper towel (do not
immerse in water or solution). Do not throw or abuse the helmet. Doing so may crack the
helmet shell and compromise the protection.
Change cover plates when they lose flexibility and/or become bowed or distorted. Clean with
mild soapy solution including any build-up from the area where the cover plate is retained.
Discard if cleaning fails to improve visibility. Use an internal cover plate to provide additional
protection.
