IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

When using helmet, basic safety precautions should always be followed to 
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible

and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. 

Read all instructions before using this helmet! 

WARNING

INHALATION HAZARD: 

Welding and Plasma Cutting Produce 

TOXIC FUMES.

Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust 
fumes can increase the risk of developing 
certain cancers, such as cancer of the 
larynx and lung cancer.  Also, some 
diseases that may be linked to exposure 
to welding or plasma cutting exhaust 
fumes are:
• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease
• Heart disease 

•  Ulcers

• Damage to the reproductive organs
• Inflammation of the small intestine or 

stomach 

•  Kidney damage

• Respiratory diseases such as 

emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia

Use natural or forced air ventilation and 
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to 
protect against the fumes produced to 
reduce the risk of developing the above 
illnesses.

1. 

Do not use the Welding Helmet if the lens is 
cracked, if the lens or sensors are dirty, or if 
the lens or front retaining frame is loose.

2. 

Keep work area clean.

  Cluttered 

areas invite injuries.

3. 

Observe work area conditions.

  Do not use 

welding helmets in damp or wet locations.  
Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well 
lit.  Do not use auto-darkening helmets in the 
presence of flammable gases or liquids.

4. 

Keep children away.

  Children must never 

be allowed in the work area.  Do not let them 
handle this helmet.  Dress properly.  Do not 
wear loose clothing or jewelry.  Keep your hair, 
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. 

5. 

Store idle equipment.

  When not in use, 

helmets must be stored in a dry location 
to inhibit rust.  Always lock up helmets 
and keep out of reach of children.

6. 

Dress properly.

  Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewelry as they can be caught in moving 
parts.  Protective gear is essential to protect 
against welding rays, some examples are: a 
leather welding apron, welding sleeves, jeans 
without cuffs, work boots.  Wear restrictive 
hair covering to contain long hair.

7. 

Use eye and ear protection.

  When welding, 

wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles under 
the Welding Helmet.  Wear a NIOSH-approved 
respirator and hearing protection when welding.

8. 

Stay alert.

  Watch what you are doing, use 

common sense.  Do not weld when you are tired.

9. 

Check for damaged parts.

  Before using any 

helmet, any part that appears damaged should be 
carefully checked to determine that it will operate 
properly and perform its intended function.  Check 
for alignment and binding of moving parts; any 
broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other 
condition that may affect proper operation.  Any 
part that is damaged should be properly repaired 
or replaced by a qualified technician.  Do not use 
the helmet if any switch does not operate properly.

10. 

Replacement parts and accessories.

  When 

servicing, use only identical replacement parts.  
Use of any other parts can render helmet ineffective, 
possibly causing eye damage, and will void the 
warranty.  Only use accessories intended for 
use with this helmet.  Approved accessories 
are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

11. 

Do not weld if under the influence of 
alcohol or drugs.

  Read warning labels on 

prescriptions to determine if your judgment 
or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs.  
If there is any doubt, do not weld.
