OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking

Inspect the package contents for shipping damage and ensure all components are present. The product should be inspected before each use
following the procedures in the "Inspection & Maintenance" section of these User Instructions. Any damaged or defective parts must be replaced
before use.

Assembly

G5-01 Welding Helmet
Prior to use, ensure any protective coverings or films that may have been placed over the clear grinding visor or and viewing surfaces of the
auto-darkening filter (ADF) viewing areas to protect it during manufacturing or shipping are removed.
Connecting & Disconnecting Breathing Tubes
– Connect approved breathing tubes by pushing the QRS (Quick Release Swivel) end of the breathing tube (i.e. end with the black pinch clip)
onto the airduct inlet of the welding helmet (Fig. 1a). The breathing tube should make an audible click when attached. Verify breathing tube is
secured to the welding helmet by swiveling and pulling on the connection. If it is not securely connected, detach and reconnect.
– To disconnect the breathing tube, compress the tabs on the end of the QRS to release and pull back to remove (Fig. 1b).
– The welding helmet airduct tube is also attached to the head suspension to keep it fixed at the rear. The airduct tube clamp has a small
release tab on the underside (Fig. 2a). Clamp the airduct tube holder ring around the tube and while holding the ends together, slide the side
without the release tab into the slot at the rear of the head suspension ratchet until it "clicks" into place (Fig. 2b). To remove, press the release
tab and slide out of the head suspension ratchet (Fig. 2c).
NOTE: The airduct tube clamp may be positioned anywhere along the airduct tube and may also be positioned on either side of the headgear
suspension ratchet for maximum versatility and comfort.
