2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

ADVARSEL: Welding and cutting processes produce intense light, heat, and harmful radiation that can cause severe eye and skin injuries. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow all safety guidelines.

• Always inspect the helmet before each use for any damage, cracks, or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.
• Ensure the auto-darkening filter (ADF) is clean and free from scratches.
• Verify the helmet's shade setting is appropriate for your welding process and amperage before striking an arc.
• This helmet protects against UV/IR radiation even in the light state (shade DIN 4). However, always ensure the ADF darkens properly before beginning work.
• Do not immerse the helmet in water or any liquids.
• Do not modify the helmet or its components. Unauthorized modifications can compromise safety.
• Brug kun originale reservedele.
• Ensure adequate ventilation in your work area to avoid inhaling welding fumes.

4. Opsætning og justering

Proper adjustment of the headgear is essential for comfort and safety.

1. Assemble Headgear: If not pre-assembled, attach the headgear to the helmet shell using the pivot points. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Adjust Headband Diameter: Use the knob at the back of the headgear to adjust the circumference until it fits snugly but comfortably around your head.
3. Juster topstrop: Juster den øverste rem for at placere hjelmen korrekt på dit hoved, og sørg for at viewing window is at eye level.
4. Adjust Distance from Face: Use the side knobs to adjust the distance of the helmet from your face. The ideal distance allows for clear vision and prevents fogging, without obstructing movement.
5. Juster vinkel: The helmet's angle can be adjusted to suit your working position.
6. Test funktionalitet: Before welding, press the "TEST" button on the ADF (if available) to ensure it darkens properly. This confirms the battery and sensors are functioning.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

The HITBOX HT111 helmet supports multiple modes for various applications.

5.1. Valg af tilstand

The helmet features a mode selector switch (WELD/CUT/GRIND) typically located on the side or inside the helmet.

• WELD-tilstand: For TIG, MIG, MMA, and Plasma welding. The ADF will automatically darken to the selected shade when an arc is detected.
• GRIND-tilstand: For grinding operations. In this mode, the ADF remains in its light state (DIN 4) to provide clear vision while protecting against impacts. The auto-darkening function is disabled.

5.2. Control Knob Adjustments

The helmet is equipped with control knobs for fine-tuning performance:

• SHADE Control Knob (DIN 5/9-9/13): Adjusts the darkness level of the ADF. Refer to welding shade charts for appropriate settings based on your welding process and amperage. Start with a higher shade and decrease if visibility is poor.
• SENSITIVITY Control Knob: Adjusts how sensitive the arc sensors are to light. Increase sensitivity for low-amperage TIG welding or when working in low light conditions. Decrease sensitivity to prevent false triggering from ambient light.
• DELAY Time Control Knob (0.1S-0.8S): Adjusts the time the ADF remains dark after the arc extinguishes. A shorter delay is suitable for tack welding, while a longer delay helps protect eyes from afterglow or multiple short arcs.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din svejsehjelms lange levetid og korrekte funktion.

• Rensning:
  • Rengør hjelmskallen med mild sæbe og vand. Undgå skrappe opløsningsmidler.
  • Clean the outer and inner protective lenses regularly with a soft, clean cloth and a suitable lens cleaning solution. Replace scratched or damaged lenses immediately.
  • Gently wipe the ADF surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or liquids directly on the ADF.
