1. 1 As a rule of thumb start with a shade that is too dark then go to a lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone without going below the minimum In oxyfuel gas welding or cutting where the torch produces a high yellow light it is desirable to use a filter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line the visible light of the spectrum operation 2 These values apply where the actual arc is clearly seen Experience has shown that lighter filters may be used when the arc is hidden by the workpiece Data from ANSI Z49 1 2005 If your helmet does not include any one of the shades referenced above it is recommended you use the next darker shade HELMET CARE AND MAINTENANCE Replacing Front Clear Cover Lens Replace the front cover lens if it is damaged Remove ADF holder assembly per Figure 1 Remove front cover lens from helmet assembly Carefully remove gasket from cover lens Install new cover lens into gasket and assemble to helmet shell Make sure to assemble cover lens and gasket to helmet shell in the same way as it was removed Change the Shade Cartridge Remove ADF holder assembly from helmet shell See figure 1 for removal Flex one end of the ADF holder to allow for Adapter and ADF cartridge to be removed from frame per figure 2 Install new ADF cartridge into frame per figure 3 below Make sure that the ADF cartridge is inserted in ADF holder correctly as shown Install Adapter into the ADF hol2.
