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 protection 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.
• Release the ADF retaing spring from the slot
and remove ADF from the prepared frame in
the helmet shell.
• insert the ADF into the frame and secure by
pressing the retaining spring back into the slot.
• Insert „GRIND" button back through the hole in
the helmet shell and turn it around so that the
cover can be attached back onto the „GRIND"
button.
Outer protection plate replacement (*PICTURE
ANNEX 8)
• Put your thumb into an indent located below
the bottom part of the protection plate and pull
the plate out.
• insert the new protection plate into the groo-
ves on sides of ADF filter opening by bending
it slightly.
HELMET AND HEADGEAR adjustment
Headgear adjustment (*PICTURE ANNEX 9)
The size of the headgear (head circumference)
can be adjusted by turning the rear wheel in order
to fit any head size. The depth of the headgear
can be adjusted by repositioning the four vertical
head straps. To release the head straps from the
headgear, just pull the straps out of the pin-locks.
Snap the head straps on the pin-locks when rea-
ching the optimal position.
Headgear replacement (*PICTURE ANNEX 10)
For headgear replacement press the black tabs
on the top of the pivot point while sliding the
headgear forward.
To insert the new headgear slide the rails into
3
the groove on the pivot point. Both sides must be
equally positioned.
Tilt (vertical viewing angle) adjustment
(*PICTURE ANNEX 11)
Tilt is adjusted on both sides of the helmet by
loosening the outside tension knob and releasing
the adjustment lever from its current location and
moving it to another location. Tighten the tension
knob when finished.
Distance Adjustment (*PICTURE ANNEX 12)
Adjusts the distance between the face and the
ADF by pressing the black tabs on the top of the
pivot point while sliding the helmet forward or
backward. Release the tabs when reaching the
optimal position. Both sides must be equally po-
sitioned.
Air flow direction adjustment (*PICTURE
ANNEX 13)
CleanAIR® Omnira COMBI air / Omnira air is equi-
pped with an advanced airflow regulation system
inside the helmet. There are three airflow outputs
inside the helmet. The main output is located
at the bottom of the helmet and delivers the air
directly towards the user´s mouth.The direction
of the air stream can be adjusted by turning the
control knob outside the helmet. PICTURE 13a
The two other outputs are located in the upper
part of the helmet. The intensity of the air stream
can be regulated by sliding the two slider buttons
left and right. PICTURE 1b
Headgear mounting set replacement (*PICTURE
ANNEX 14)
Unscrew both tension knobs on the sides of the
helmet. Remove the mounting sets from the wel-
ding helmet. Place the new mounting sets in the
welding helmet with the square shaped nut in the
round hole of the helmet on both sides. Screw
the tension knobs in the square shaped nut of
the mounting sets on both sides, but don't fully
tighten yet. Insert the tilt adjustment lever pin in
a tilt setting hole and tighten the tension knob on
one side, do the same on the other side and use
the same tilt setting hole (PICTURE 11).
ADF setting adjustment (*PICTURE ANNEX 15)
ON/OFF
• The solar unit automatically switches ON when
exposed to light.
• Press any button to check if the lens is working
properly and to activate Mode adjustments.
SHADE CONTROL
• Press the „M" button (7), until the mode indi-
cator is on Shade (3), the LED screen (6) now
shows the current shade number.
• Press „+" button (8) and „-" button (9) to set the
desired shade number.
• To toggle between the two shade ranges 5-8
and 9-13, press and hold any button „M"(7),
„+"(8),"-"(9) for 3 seconds.
• Once the range is switched use „+" (8) and „-"
(9) button to set the desired shade.
DELAY CONTROL
• Press the „M" button (7), until the mode indi-
cator is on Delay (4), the LED screen(6) now
shows the current delay setting.
• Press „+" button (8) and „-" (9) button to set the
desired delay setting. Delay time can be adjus-
ted from 1 (0.1 Seconds)- 9 (0.9 Seconds).
SENSITIVITY CONTROL
Press the „M" button (7), until the mode indicator
is on Sensitivity (2), the LED screen (6) shows
the current sensitivity setting.
Press „+" button (8) and „-" button (9) to set the
desired sensitivity level. Sensitivity can be adj-
usted from 1 to 9. Higher number means higher
sensitivity.
Sensitivity guideline:
Sensitivity settings is used to tell the auto-darke-
ning lens how sensitively it should respond to the
welding arc and interferences. Due to different
working environments and properties of welding
processes, adjustments may be required. Sen-
sitivity should be determined by the following
factors: applications, amperage of applications,
interference:
Applications (Stable arc, such as DC TIG, non-
-stable arc, MMA/STICK, MIG, Plasma etc.)
Amperage of Applications (Extreme low, low-me-
dium, medium-high)
Interference (Direct strong sunlight, strong fluo-
rescent lights, neighbor welding arc etc.)
Sensitivity settings
1~2
The least sensitive setting - for high cu-
rrent non-stable arc applications, in environments
with strong interferences.
3~4
For low current non-stable arc applicati-
ons, in environments with strong interferences.
5~6
Default setting - used for most types of
welding, indoors and outdoors under normal am-
bient lights and/or low interferences
7~8
For low current welding or stable arc
applications, such as DC TIG.
9
The most sensitive setting-suitable for
very low current TIG welding or welding where
part of the arc is obscured from view. The lens
is very sensitive and may become dark due to
strong ambient lights or interferences.
When not sure which number to use, therule of
thumb is to set higher number firstly, reduce one
by one if interferences exists until the lens is not
interfered.
For recommended shade level selection please
see table (*PICTURE 16)
NOTICE
In some rare extreme cases, reduction of
interferences may be required for the auto
darkening lens to work properly. TIG and
applications with stabler arc require higher
sensitivity settings. Shade levels are given
as a guide only and may be varied to suit
individual needs.
GRIND
Press the „M" button (7), until the Mode indicator
is on „Grind" (1), the helmet is set to grinding
mode. Or, press the Quick access „GRIND"
button (10) to toggle the lens between „GRIND"
and „non-GRIND" mode.
Warning: When the lens is on „GRIND" Mode, it
will not respond to any welding arc. Make sure it
is not in „GRIND" mode before starting welding.
Note: The „GRIND" Mode will be deactivated
automatically after 30 minutes of activation. Use
quick access GRIND switch to activate again.
LOW POWER INDICATOR
If the low battery indicator(5) blinks once in every
3 seconds, the batteries are low and replacement
is required immediately.
Cleaning and maintenance
The lifetime of the helmet and visors is influenced
by many factors such as: cold, heat, chemicals,
sunlight or incorrect use. The helmet should be
