USER MANUAL (ENG)
Important
Please read and remember the following instructions before use to ensure
your own safety. If you have any questions, please contact the manufac-
turer or your distributor. Keep the manual for future reference. The welding
helmet should be used only for the purposes listed in this manual.
1. Introduction
When used in accordance with these instructions, CleanAIR
Omnira air is designed to protect the user´s eyes and face against high
speed particles. It is a multipurpose protective faceshield that can be eas-
ily converted to professional welding helmet with flip-up welding shield
CleanAIR Omnira COMBI /Omnira COMBI air.
®
CleanAIR Omnira COMBI / Omnira COMBI air is designed to protect the
®
user´s eyes and face from harmful radiation including visible light, ultra-vi-
olet (UV), infra-red (IR) radiation and hot sparks and spatters resulting
from arc welding and cutting applications such as MIG, MAG, TIG, SMAW,
Plasma Arc, Carbon Arc gouging. This welding helmet is not recommend-
ed for heavy duty overhead welding applications, laser welding or Iaser
cutting applications.
CleanAIR Omnira air / Omnira COMBI air is adapted for use with powered
®
air purifying respirators (hereinafter PAPR) CleanAIR
flow compressed air breathing apparatuses (hereinafter „compressed air
system") CleanAIR and thus provides protection of the respiratory tract.
®
CleanAIR is a system of personal respiratory protection based on the
®
principle of overpressure of filtered air in the breathing zone. The respira-
tor is placed on the wearer's belt and filtrates the air which is taken in from
the surrounding environment and then delivers it through the airduct into
the protective helmet. The overpressure prevents contaminants from en-
tering the breathing zone. This mild overpressure at the same time ensu-
res the wearer's comfort, even with long-term use, as the wearer does not
have to struggle in their breathing to overcome the resistance of the filter.
2. Before you start working
CleanAIR Omnira COMBI / Omnira COMBI air
®
Ensure that the helmet is correctly assembled and that it completely
blocks any accidental light. In the front, light may enter the helmet on-
ly through the viewing area of the welding filter. Ensure that the welding
shield is parked in the lower position before you start welding. Adjust the
headgear to ensure maximum comfort and to provide the largest field of
vision. Check the prescribed shade level for your welding application and
adjust your auto-darkening filter accordingly (select appropriate passive
welding filter) - see the table with recommended shade levels). Inspect
that the main protective visor is undamaged, clean and installed correctly.
Replace the visor immediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or scratches
reduce vision. Inspect that the protection plates are undamaged, clean
and installed correctly. Replace the plate immediately, if it is damaged,
or if spatter or scratches reduce vision. Inspect that the welding filter is
undamaged and clean. The damaged welding filter impairs protection and
visibility and must be replaced immediately. Inspect that the welding hel-
met and headgear are undamaged.

air, CleanAIR Omnira / Omnira air
®
• Do not use CleanAIR Omnira COMBI / Omnira COMBI air for welding
®
if the welding shield is in the upper position! The clear visor doesn´t pro-
tect against harmful radiation.
• Use only original CleanAIR / AerTEC™ spare parts and consumables.
®
In case of doubt, please contact your authorized distributor. The use of
substitute components or any modifications not specified in this manual
might impair protection and may invalidate claims under the warranty
or cause the product to be non-compliant with protection classifications
and relevant standards and certificates.
• Never place the helmet or the auto-darkening welding filter on hot surface.
• Scratched or damaged protection visors or plates should be regularly
replaced by original CleanAIR
tection plate, make sure to remove any additional protection foil from
both sides.
• Do not use tempered mineral filters without suitable protection foils.
• Replace protection plate immediately, if it is damaged, or if spatter or
scratches reduce vision.
• Do not expose the auto-darkening welding filter to liquids and protect
it from dirt.

• 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 trans-
mit impact, thus create a hazard to the wearer.
Limitations on use of CleanAIR
Omnira air
Never use the helmet in the following environments and
under the following conditions:
• If oxygen concentration in the environment is lower than 17%.
• In oxygen-enriched environments.
• In explosive ambience.
• In environments that represent an immediate threat to the life and
health.
The helmet does not protect against hard shocks, explosions or corrosive
substances.
Do not use in environments where the user does not know the type of
contamination or its concentration.
Do not use when the powered air purifying respirator is turned off or when
the compressed air inlet is closed! In this case the respiratory system
gives little or no respiratory protection. Also there is a risk of a high con-
centration of carbon dioxide (CO
ciency occurring inside the helmet.
Move to a secure location and take appropriate measures when any of the
following problems occur while using the helmet:
• If the PAPR or the compressed air system cease to operate for any
reason whatsoever, the user must leave the contaminated workplace
without delay.
• If you experience stench or irritation or an unpleasant taste while
breathing.
• If you feel unwell or if you experience nausea.
Filters designed for capturing solid and liquid particles (particle filters) do
not protect the user against any gases. Filters designed for capturing gas-
es do not protect the user against any particles. In the workplace contami-
nated by both types of pollution, combined filters must be used.
3. Control and spare parts replacement
Replacing the visor (*PICTURE ANNEX 1)
Shift the visor locks on both sides up (unlock) and remove the visor. Place
the new visor on the same spot and shift both locks on the sides back
down (lock). Make sure the visor fits properly.
Replacing the flip-up welding shield (*PICTURE ANNEX 2)
You can remove the welding shield by pressing the locking buttons on
both sides of the helmet while pulling the welding shield out. Install the
new flip-up welding shield by clicking the pivot mechanisms into mounting
points of the face shield.
How to upgrade your grinding face shield Omnira into
flip-up welding helmet Omnira COMBI (PICTURE ANNEX 3)
The mounting points of the flip-up welding shield are covered by round
plastic covers on both sides of the face shield. You can easily remove
them by pulling out. Install a new flip-up welding shield by clicking the piv-
ot mechanisms into mounting points of the face shield.
Face seal replacement (*PICTURE ANNEX 4)
Remove the headgear as described in section „Headgear replacement".
Loosen both tension knobs on both sides and align the mounting mecha-
nisms as shown on the picture 4.
Pull out the plastic frame of the face seal underneath the mounting mech-
anisms on both sides.
Click out the plastic frame of the face seal from the locking pins. Start with
the upper part and then continue with the bottom part.
Battery replacement (*PICTURE ANNEX 5)
• Open the back cover counterclockwise.
• Replace the battery with a new one.
• Turn the back cover clockwise.
NEVER PUT USED BATTERIES INTO HOUSE HOLD WASTE
BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY TOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
Please always have used batteries recycled properly and stay
GREEN when welding.
Inner protection plate replacement (*PICTURE ANNEX6)
• Put your nail into a groove in the middle of the bottom of the inner pro-
tection plate and pull it away.
• insert the new inner protection plate by sliding it into the prepared rails
on the sides of the ADF.
ADF replacement (*PICTURE ANNEX 7)
• Remove the cover of the outer „GRIND" button using screwdriver. Turn
the „GRIND" button so that it easily passes through the hole into the
helmet.
