ESAB Eye-Tech 9–13 Mode D'emploi page 16

The welding mask comes ready for use.
The only thing you need to do is to adjust
the comfortable headband. When the arc
is struck the shade cartridge ESAB Eye-
Tech automatically darkens.
Before Welding
• Check that the front cover lens and
the front lens frame are securely in
place.
• Select the shade level you need for
your cartridge setting by the poten-
tiometer knob (see Shade Table).
• Adjust headband so that the mask is
seated on the head as low as possi-
ble and near to your face. Adjust
mask angle when in the lowered
position by turning the eccentric
knob.
Special Features
• Eyes are always protected against
ultraviolet and infrared rays, regard-
less of the shade level.
• The switching time of the shade car-
tridge from dark to light can be adju-
sted manually. By the means of an off
delay knob the opening time can be
adjusted to fast or slow. Before wel-
ding adjust your delay time accor-
ding to your welding process. In
order to protect the eyes against the
residual light of the afterglow of work
materials the fastest opening time is
set at 0.1 seconds.
• You can readjust shading during wel-
ding by changing the setting of the
potentiometer knob.
• No battery changing is needed due to
solar cell operation.
Important Note
• The ESAB Eye-Tech shade cartridge is not
suitable for laser and gas-welding.
• Mask and cartridge must never be
placed on hot surfaces.
• Never open or tamper with the shade
cartridge.
• Always use only ESAB original parts.
Precautionary Measures
• Use only at temperatures between -
–10°C and +70°C (14°F and 158°F)
• Protect cartridge from liquid and dirt
contact
• Clean cartridge surfaces regularly; do
not use strong cleaning solutions.
• Always keep sensors and solar cells
clean using an alcohol-dampened
cloth to clean, and a clean, lint-free
cloth to dry.
• Regularly replace the protective len-
ses with ESAB originals
• Do not leave the workplace with the
mask the lowered in position; a bright
light source could cause the cartridge
to darken unexpectedly.
Possible faults and correction
Irregular darkening dimming
• Headband has been set unevenly on
the two sides of the mask (unequal
distances from the eyes to the shade
cartridge).
• Reduce distance of shade cartridge, if
necessary
