WELDING HELMET WARNINGS
WARNING! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
YOUR WELDING HELMET. Serious personal injury may occur if these warnings are
ignored.
• The auto darkening welding helmet is not suitable for laser welding and
oxygen acetylene welding.
• Do not put the helmet near flames or in damp places.
• Before operation, please confirm that the welding or grinding function is
correctly selected.
• Before operation, tear off the protective film from the lens.
• Cease using the helmet immediately if the filter does not darken on exposure
to UV/IR light. Contact Ozito customer service for further instructions. Arc rays
from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and
infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
• Do not attempt to replace or modify parts of the helmet.
• Do not remove the filter protective plate or the filter.
• Do not use alcohol, petrol, or thinners to clean the filter.
• Do not immerse the helmet in water.
• Optimum operating temperature is between -5 to 55°C (23 to 131°F). The auto
darkening function may react slower outside of this range.
• Contact Ozito customer service for further instructions if the protective films
are broken or scratched.
• Contact Ozito customer service for further if the filter protective plate is broken
or scratched. To prevent damage to the filter, do not use hard objects near it.
• Clean the filter surface, sensors, and solar cells regularly.
• This welding helmet does not provide protection against serious impact,
explosives, or corrosive liquid damage.
• The Auto darkening filter must have outside protective lens installed to prevent
potential irreparable damage. Do not use auto darkening welding helmet with
any of the lenses removed.
• Change scratched or broken lens that reduces visual field and protection level.
• Frequently clean the sweatband.
• Do not remove the auto darkening filter from the helmet. Never try to open
the filter.
• Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the
application. Ensure the correct shade is used for the application.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields and ear protection under your
helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and
sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
• Wear body protection made from durable, flame resistant material (leather,
heavy cotton wool).
• Do not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
• Inspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched, cracked,
or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.
• Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
• Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can
be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe
the fumes.
• Only work in a well-ventilated environment.
• Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants,
degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and
irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated
steel. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off
toxic fumes if welded.
• Button batteries pose a serious hazard to children. If swallowed, in addition to
presenting a choking hazard, a button battery can get stuck in a child’s throat
and cause a chemical reaction that burns through tissue causing catastrophic
bleeding. Keep Auto Darkening Welding Helmet and button batteries out
of sight and out of reach of small children. Dispose of old or spent button
batteries you have removed from a product immediately. Flat batteries can still
be dangerous.
• If you think a child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, contact the
Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (NZ) for
24/7 expert advice.
• Do not store lens cartridge in a location near a heat source or in a high
moisture environment.
