SECTION 1 −SAFETY PRECAUTIONS −
READ BEFORE USING
YWarning: Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions.
1-1. Symbol Usage
Means Warning! Watch Out!
There are possible hazards with
this procedure! The possible
hazards are shown in the ad-
joining symbols.
YMarks a special safety message.
This group of symbols means Warning! Watch
Out! possible ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING
PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult sym-
bols and related instructions below for necessary
actions to avoid the hazards.
.Means “Note”; not safety related.
1-2. Hazards
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultravio-
let and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld.
DWear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your
face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed
in Safety Standards). Refer to Shade and Sensitivity charts in Sections 3-4
and 3-5.
DWear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
DUse protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare;
warn others not to watch the arc.
DWear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material
(leather and wool) and foot protection.
WELDING HELMETS do not provide unlimited eye, ear and
face protection.
DUse impact resistant safety spectacles or goggles and ear protection at all
times when using this welding helmet.
DDo not use this helmet while working with or around explosives or
corrosive liquids.
DDo not weld in the overhead position while using this helmet.
DInspect the auto-lens frequently. Immediately replace any scratched,
cracked, or pitted cover lenses or auto-lenses.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
DWear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

3-2. Reset Button And Low Battery Indicator
.The auto-darkening lens turns on
(darkens) automatically when
welding begins and turns off 15 −
20 minutes after welding stops.
1 Reset Button
Press Reset button to check if the lens
is working properly.
When the Reset button is pressed, the
lens should darken twice and return to
the clear state. Do not use the helmet
if the lens does not function as de-
scribed. (See Section 9, Trouble-
shooting.)
2 Low Battery Indicator
The low battery indicator lights when
2−3 days of battery life remain.
If battery power is low, replace with
CR2450 lithium batteries (2 required)
(Miller Part No. 217 043) (see Section
6).

3-3. Lens Delay Control
1 Lens Delay Control
The lens delay control is used to
adjust the time for the lens to switch
to the clear state after welding.
The delay is particularly useful in
eliminating bright after-rays pres-
ent in higher amperage applica-
tions where the molten puddle re-
mains bright momentarily after
welding. Lens delay adjusts from
min (0.10 second) to max (1.0 sec-
ond.).

3-4. Variable Shade Control (No. 8 −13)
1 Variable Shade Control
(No. 8 −13)
Use the control to adjust the lens
shade in the darkened state. Use
the table below to select proper
shade control setting based on
your welding process.
Start at shade 12 and adjust lighter
to suit the welding application and
your personal preference.

3-5. Sensitivity Control
1 Sensitivity Control
Weld Mode
Use control to make the lens more respon-
sive to different light levels in various weld-
ing processes. Use a Mid-Range or
30−50% sensitivity setting for most ap-
plications.
It may be necessary to adjust helmet sensi-
tivity to accommodate different lighting con-
ditions or if lens is flashing On and Off. Ad-
just helmet sensitivity as follows:
.Adjust helmet sensitivity in lighting con-
ditions helmet will be used in.
STurn sensitivity control to lowest
setting.
SPress Reset button to turn helmet On.
Helmet lens will darken twice and then
clear.
SFace the helmet in the direction of use,
exposing it to the surrounding light con-
ditions.
SGradually turn sensitivity setting clock-
wise until the lens darkens, then turn
sensitivity control counterclockwise
until slightly past setting where lens
clears. Helmet is ready for use. Slight
readjustment may be necessary for
certain applications or if lens is flashing
on and off.
Grind Mode
.Do not weld in the Grind mode; the lens
will not darken.
To use the Grind mode, turn the Sensitivity
control clockwise to the far right position
(Grind). To resume welding, return the con-
trol to the desired sensitivity setting.

SECTION 4 −ADJUSTING HEADGEAR
.There are four headgear adjust-
ments: headgear top, tightness,
angle adjustment, and distance
adjustment.
1 Headgear Top
Adjusts headgear for proper depth
on the head to ensure correct bal-
ance and stability.
2 Headgear Tightness
To adjust, push in the adjusting knob
located on the back of the headgear
and turn left or right to desired tight-
ness.
.If adjustment is limited, it may be
necessary to remove the com-
fort cushion.
3 Distance Adjustment
Adjusts the distance between the
face and the lens. To adjust, loosen
both outside tension knobs and
press inward to free from adjustment
slots. Move forward or back to de-
sired position and retighten. (Both
sides must be equally positioned for
proper vision.)
4 Angle Adjustment
Four pins on the right side of the
headband top provide adjustment
for the forward tilt of the helmet. To
adjust, loosen the right outside ten-
sion adjustment knob then lift on the
control arm tab and move it to the de-
sired position. Retighten tension ad-
justment knob.
.When using the back distance
adjustment positions, only the
back three angle adjustment
pins can be used.

SECTION 5 −REPLACING THE LENS COVERS
Ref. 804 109
YNever use the auto-dark-
ening lens without the in-
side and outside lens
covers properly installed.
Welding spatter will dam-
age the auto-darkening
lens and void the
warranty.
1 Front Lens Gasket
2 Outside Lens Cover
3 Lens Assembly
4 Inside Lens Cover
5 Lens Frame
Remove the lens assembly to
remove either lens cover.
To remove the lens assembly,
push down on the helmet bot-
tom retaining arms and push the
retaining clips toward the out-
side of the helmet. Lift up on the
assembly and pull free of the
helmet.
Outside Lens Cover
Remove the outside lens cover
by pushing into the helmet. Re-
move the rubber lens gasket
and install on the new lens cov-
er. Reinstall the lens assembly.
.Be sure the flat side of lens
cover gasket faces the lens
cover holder.
Inside Lens Cover
To replace the inside lens cover,
remove the lens assembly from
the lens frame by pushing up on
the top two retaining tabs while
gently pushing the lens free.
