IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous !
Welding produces fumes and gases that are hazardous to your health.
• Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe in the fumes.
•
If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding
fumes and gases.
• If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Read the manufacturer’ s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and
degreasers.
• Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld in locations near degreasing cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays
of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the
coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while
wearing an air-supplied respirator.The coatings and any metals containing these elements can
give off toxic fumes if welded.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
OPERATION
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns !
• Never touch hot parts bare handed.
• Allow adequate cooling period before touching work piece.
NOISE can damage hearing !
• Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
• Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
FLYING METAL can injure eyes !
• Wear ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields under your welding
helmet.
• Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal.
As welds cool, they can throw off slag.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Passive Welding Helmet DOES NOT
protect against severe impact hazards, such
as broken grinding wheels or abrasive discs,
explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
Machine guards or eye splash protection
must be used when these hazards are
present.
The Passive Welding Helmet is suitable for
all Arc welding processes such as MIG,
MAG,TIG, SMAW, Plasma Arc, and Carbon
Arc.
The Passive Welding Helmet is NOT
recommended for “Overhead” welding
applications,Laser welding or Laser cutting
applications.
Protection will be seriously impaired if
unapproved modifications are made.always
be used with original inner and outer cover
lenses.
ADJUST THE WELDING HELMET
ACCORDING TO YOUR
INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS.
The headband should be adjusted both in
circumference and height.
The angle between face and helmet should
also be adjusted and recommended
to be 10°-12°.(Fig.1).

SAFETY SYMBOLS
Never look at arc welding without proper eye protection. Arc rays from the
welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared)
rays that can burn eyes and Skin, Hot sparks fly off from the weld and can burn
eyes and skin.
Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your
face and eyes when welding or watching.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare, warn others in the area
not to watch the arc.
• Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame resistant materials, leather welding gloves
and full foot protection.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher readily available and watch for fire.
• Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
• Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
• Remove all flammable materials from the welding area. If this is not possible, tightly cover them
with approved covers.
• Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks
and openings to adjacent areas.
• Be aware that welding on a ceiling ,floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden
side.
• Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes; unless they are properly
prepared according to AWS F4.1 standards.
• Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical to prevent welding
current from traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric shock and fire
hazards.
• Never use arc welder to thaw frozen pipes.
• Remove electrode from holder when not in use.
• Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, trousers with no cuffs,
high shoes, and a cap.
• Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from yourself and the
surroundings near the welding location before doing any welding.
• Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety
Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
California Proposition 65 Warnings !
ARC RAYS can burn eyes !
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause
them to explode.Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks,
hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns, Accidental
contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion,
overheating,or fire. Check and be sure the area is sale before doing any
welding.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion !
