ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin
The arc, like the sun, emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and can injure
skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the proper use of the pro-
cesses and equipment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Wear a welding helmet tted with a proper shade of lter to protect your face and eyes when welding or
watching.
2. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
3. Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lter lens sensitivity to meet the application. Warn bystanders
not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc or hot metal.
4. Wear protective clothing made from durable, ame-resistant material. A ameproof apron may also be
desirable as protection against radiated heat and sparks.
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-ammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can y far.
Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
Protect your ears. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
FUMES AND GASES
Fumes and gases can cause discomfort or harm, particularly in conned
spaces. Shielding gases can cause asphyxiation. Therefore:
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes and gases.
2. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut
or gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc, lead beryllium or cadmium
unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes from these materials.
3. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations. The heat or arc can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas and other irritant gases.
4. If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irritation while operating, this is an indication that ventila-
tion is not adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work area. Do not
continue to operate if physical discomfort persists.
5. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 for specic ventilation recommendations.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Heat from ames and arcs can start res. Hot slag or sparks can also cause res
and explosions. Therefore:
1. Protect yourself and others from ying sparks and hot metal.
2. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work area or cover the materials with a protec-
tive non-ammable covering. Combustible materials include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels,
solvents, paints and coatings paper, etc.
3. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in oors or wall openings and cause a hidden
smoldering re or res on the oor below. Make certain that such openings are protected from hot
sparks and metal.
4. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the work piece has been completely cleaned so that
there are no substances on the work piece which might produce ammable or toxic vapors. Do not do
hot work on closed containers, they may explode.
5. Have re extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket,
or portable re extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use.
6. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, an overloaded welding cable can overheat and
create a re hazard.
7. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal
which could cause a later re. Use re watchers when necessary.

OPERATION
Before welding
1. Remove the protective lm from NEW exterior and interior protective lenses.
2. Press the “TEST” button to ensure the battery is able to power the Auto-Darkening
Filter (ADF).
3. Inspect the ADF for damage or discoloration.
4. Clean the outer and inner protective lenses and inspect for scratches or other
damage. If scratches or other damage are evident, replace those parts before use.
5. Inspect all parts of the helmet for signs of excessive wear or damage. Do not use if
there is any signs of damage and replace those parts immediately.
6. Ensure all moving parts and latches are tight and secure.
7. Always choose the appropriate shade for the type of welding in which you are
engaged.
Shade Control
The Swarm A-20 uses a variable Shade 9 to 13, and is adjustable based upon the
required welding. Please refer to the table below to determine the correct shade setting
for your application. The welding helmet can also be used as a face protector when
grinding. The Grind Mode prevents lter lens from auto-darkening.

Note
Sensitivity Control
The sensitivity can be set to LOW, HIGH or any setting in between by using the
adjustable “Sensitivity” dial located inside the Automatic-Darkening Filter (ADF)
cartridge. The LOW setting suits excess ambient light or with another welding machine
close by. The HIGH setting suits low amperage welding and welding in areas with low
light conditions, especially low amperage argon arc welding. Selections between LOW
and HIGH are suitable for most indoor and outdoor welding operations.
Delay Control
When welding ceases, the viewing window automatically changes from dark back to
light but with a preset delay to compensate. The delay time can be set to MIN (0.1 sec),
MAX (0.8 sec), or any setting in between by using the adjustable “DELAY” dial located
inside the ADF cartridge. The minimum delay suits spot or short welds. The maximum
delay suits heavy current welding and reduces eye fatigue from the arc. Selections
between MIN and MAX are suitable for most indoor and outdoor welding operations.
Battery replacement
The ADF requires the use of CR2032 and generally lasts for around 2000 hours of
welding use. NOTE: If the ADF LED indicator light is red, you should replace the battery
before use, according to the instructions below.
The Positive(+) side of battery faces up (toward inside of helmet)
Attention: Please dispose of used cells in accordance to the law and regulations of your
local government. The ADF must also be disposed of in accordance with electronic
waste regulations in your area.
Insert a small tool or coin into the
slot of the battery cover, and rotate
the battery cover counterclockwise
to the unlocking mark position
Remove the battery cover and
replace the battery
Front Cover Lens Replacement
Replace the front cover lens if it is damaged (cracked, scratched, pitted or dirty). Remove
the old front cover lens by pressing the locking tab. Take the old front cover lens out and
remove any protective lm before installing the new one.
Inner Cover Lens Replacement
Replace the inner cover lens if it is damaged (cracked, scratched, pitted or dirty). Place
your nger or thumb into the recess and ex the inner cover lens upwards until it
releases from one edge. Remove any protective lm before installing the new one.
Press the ADF holder here.
Push the locking tab out of the ADF holder.
Take the ADF holder and front cover lens out of
the helmet, and replace the cover lens.
1. Lift up one edge of the inner cover lens and pull the cover lens away from the
lter
2. Remove the protective lm on the new inner lens cover, feed one side of the lens
cover
ADF installation and removal
Remove the ADF bracket by rst removing the front cover lens and then push the side
of the ADF holder to remove the ADF from the bracket.
