Adjusting the Headgear
The headgear supplied with your welding helmet can be adjusted for height, diameter, angle and friction during
Height
1.Bend middle strap inward and press the bead out of the hole.
2.Adjust the strap length until the sweat band is positioned just above your eye brows.
3.Snap the bead into the closest hole in the strap.
Diameter
1.Locate the hand knob on the back of the headband. Rotate it clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
2.Place the helmet on your head and make adjustments to the headband until it is com- fortably snug.
Angle
1.Looking at the back of the helmet, locate the friction knob on the right hand side and loos- en it 4 or 5 complete turns. It is not necessary to remove it completely.
2.On the side of the helmet and just below the friction knob are 3 holes. One of these holes will be occupied by a plastic pin. Push the pin in toward the inside of the helmet and posi- tion it over the desired hole.
3.Insert the pin and tighten the friction knob.
Choosing the hole furthest from the front of the helmet will allow the helmet to tilt further forward. Choosing the hole closest to the front will allow the helmet to tilt less.
Flip-down Friction
1.Tighten or loosen the friction knobs located on either side of the helmet to increase or decrease the amount of effort needed to raise and lower the helmet.
The headband and middle strap must be properly adjusted before fl ipping the helmet down by nod- ding your head. If the headband is too loose, the helmet may tumble off after being fl ipped down and the lenses could be damaged.
