This helmet provides limited protection from minor and incidental impact hazards, and no protection while in the
raised position. Do not rely on this welding helmet as your primary protection from impact or splash hazards. For
your protection, read these welding helmet and ADF instructions completely before using. Failure to follow all of
these instructions can result in serious and permanent injury, vision loss or burns.
USA IMPACT RESISTANT SAFETY SPECTACLES OR GOGGLES MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN
USING THIS HELMET.
Clear polycarbonate protective plates must be installed on both the inside and outside of the auto-darkening fi lter
(ADF) before use. Failure to use protective plates can result in irreparable damage to the ADF and may cause
serious and permanent injury, vision loss or burns. Damage to the lens from failure to install clear plates will void
the warranty. The protective cover plates of this helmet only provide protection against splatters and surface
damage to the lens, NOT against severe impact hazards, such as fragmented grinding wheels or abrasive discs,
explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
BEFORE WELDING
• Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it completely blocks any accidental light. In the front,
light may enter the helmet only through the viewing area of the autodarkening welding fi lter.
• Adjust the headgear to maximize comfort and fi eld of vision with the fl exi-seal providing a good seal to the
face, especially reaching down to the chin.
•
Check the prescribed shade level, light sensitivity, opening time delay for your welding application and
adjust your ADF accordingly (see the table with recommended shade levels).
PRECAUTIONS
•
Never place the helmet or the ADF on hot surface.
•
Replace scratched or damaged protection plates. Before using the new protection plate, make sure to
remove any additional protection fi lm from both sides.
•
Use the TRANSLIGHT welding helmet within the temperature range of 23°F to 131°F (-5°C to 55°C).
•
Do not expose the auto-darkening fi lter to liquids and protect it from dirt.
•
Use only original JACKSON SAFETY® TRANSLIGHT spare parts. In case of doubt, please contact your
authorized distributor.
•
Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate the warranty. Surewerx does not accept responsibility for
any problems which may arise from applications other than welding, or if the instructions for use are not
strictly followed. The TRANSLIGHT® welding helmet is manufactured to protect the welder's face against
spatters and hazardous ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted during the welding process. It is not intended
to be used as a protection against impact, fl ying particles, molten metals, corrosive liquids or hazardous
gases.
•
Do not use for overhead welding where there is a falling molten metal hazard. This welding helmet/fi lter
system does not provide protection from molten metal and spatter during direct overhead welding.
•
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible
individuals.
•
Welding helmet worn over standard ophthalmic spectacles may transmit impact, thus create a hazard to
the wearer
•
If the symbols F, B and A are not common to both the ocular and the frame then it is the lower level which shall be
assigned to the complete eye-protector.
•
The eye protector shall only be used against high speed particles at room temperature, not against high speed
particles at extremes of temperature.
•
We recommend you to use the welding helmet for a period of 10 years. The duration of use depends on
various factors such as way of use, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Frequent inspections and
replacement in case of damage are recommended.
•
A distance of at least 20" (50cm), and never less than 10" (25cm), between the welding arc and the welder
eyes is recommended for all welding applications.
