Adjustment of the Headgear for Maximum Comfort

There are four adjustments on Hobart headgear that can be adjusted for maximum comfort:

1.Headgear Top – Adjusts headgear for proper depth on the head to en- sure correct balance and stability.

2.Headgear tightness – To adjust, turn knob located on the back of the headgear left or right to desired tightness.

3.Stop angle adjustment – Five pins on the right side of the headband top provide adjustment for the forward tilt of the helmet. To adjust, loosen the right outside tension adjustment knob and lift on the control arm tab to move it to the desired position. Retighten tension adjustment knob.

4.Distance adjustment – Adjusts the distance between the face and the lens. To adjust, loosen both outside tension knobs and slide forward or back to desired position and retighten. (Both sides must be equally posi- tioned for proper vision.)

Replacement of the Front and Inside Lens Covers

YWarning! Never use the auto-darkening lens without the inside and outside lens covers properly installed. Welding spatter will damage the auto-darkening lens voiding the warranty.

1.Outside − Place helmet on a flat surface. Grasp the front lens holder with one hand while pushing the inside retaining clips of the lens hold- er outward. Do one side at a time, gently pulling the front lens holder away from the helmet as each tab is released from its retaining clip. Once released, the outside cover lens can be replaced.

2.Inside − Remove the inside lens cover by following the procedure in Step 1. With the auto-darkening lens removed from the helmet, re- move the inside cover lens by prying the lens up at the thumbnail opening located at the top center of the cover lens. Replace the lens by gently bowing it in the center and inserting it, one end a time, into the retaining clips located on the outside of the auto-darkening lens assembly.

3.Reinstalling auto−darkening lens assembly − Gently place auto− darkening lens in front of helmet. (Be careful not to drop lens.) Install front lens cover with gasket. Grasp front lens holder and slowly insert the six retaining pieces into front of helmet. (Make certain you gently squeeze the outside edges of the front lens holder while inserting tabs into helmet.) From the inside of helmet, gently push the retaining tabs in to secure the front lens holder in place.

On the other hand, the Hobart XTF series is tailored for shop and industrial use, with a robust design that ensures reliability in demanding environments. The XTF machines boast a higher duty cycle, enabling longer welding sessions without overheating. This series also implements a synergic control system that simplifies setup, automatically calibrating parameters based on the type of material and thickness. This user-friendly feature is particularly beneficial for novice welders, allowing for quicker learning curves and reduced error rates. Furthermore, the XTF machines support spool gun operation, providing enhanced feeding for aluminum welding, which is a crucial asset for those working with non-ferrous materials.

Lastly, the Hobart XTP series is developed with professional welders in mind, combining power with advanced control features. These units are built for heavy-duty applications and offer impressive output capabilities. The XTP models incorporate sophisticated cooling systems to manage heat dissipation, facilitating extended use under the most demanding conditions. The addition of programmable memory settings enables users to save preferred welding parameters for specific tasks, resulting in consistent and repeatable welds.

In summary, Hobart Welding Products’ XTV, XTF, and XTP series each present unique features that cater to varying welding needs.
