Frequently Asked Questions - PSHL 2 A1 PARKSIDE

How to adjust the shade level?

Turn the shade regulator (9) located on the side of the helmet to select a level between DIN 9 and DIN 13. Refer to the table in the manual to choose the appropriate setting for your welding current.

What to do if the filter does not darken?

Check that the shade regulator is not in the "Grind" position (which disables auto-darkening). Clean the sensors and the filter. If the problem persists, increase the sensitivity or contact customer service.

What are the power sources?

The helmet is mainly powered by a solar cell. For LED lighting, a battery compartment (15) allows inserting batteries (not included). A red indicator (13) indicates low batteries.

How to clean the helmet?

Use a soft dry cloth or slightly dampened with pure alcohol or disinfectant. Never let the filter come into contact with water. Clean the sensors and solar cells regularly.

What is the lifespan of the helmet?

The maximum lifespan is approximately 6 years. It can be reduced by use, cleaning, and storage. Immediately replace the protective lens if scratched or damaged.

Can I use this helmet for TIG welding?

Yes, the helmet is suitable for TIG (GTAW) welding as well as MMA, MIG, MAG, plasma, and plasma cutting. Set the appropriate shade level according to the current used.

How to test the operation before use?

Approach the window to a light source of more than 40 W (e.g., lamp). If the filter darkens, it works. You can also press the Test button (10) to check darkening.

What does the "Grind" setting mean?

The "Grind" position disables auto-darkening. Use it only for grinding work or when not welding. Never weld with this setting, as your eyes would not be protected.

How to change the batteries for LED lighting?

Slide the left part of the battery compartment (15) to the left to open it. Replace used batteries with new ones. The red indicator (13) lights up when batteries are low.

What spare parts are available?

The main spare parts are the protective lens (dimensions 109.9 x 85.8 mm) and the gasket (98.3 x 45.9 mm). Use only original parts.

Safety instructions

Please carefully read the instructions for use and follow the specified notices. Familiarise yourself with the equipment, its proper use and the safety notices using these instructions for use. All technical data about this welding helmet is on the label, please learn about this product's technical facts.

■ This device may be used by children aged 16 years and up, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capacities, or lacking experience and / or knowledge, so long as they are supervised or instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the associated risks. Do not allow children to play with the product. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.

■ The welding helmet with automatic darkening is not suitable for laser and gas welding.

■ Never place the welding helmet on hot surfaces.

■ Never open the welding helmet. Never carry out repairs on or modifications to the welding helmet. These may only be carried out by trained experts.

■ Please ensure that you have set the automatic darkening before each welding procedure.

■ The safety visor should not be opened. It protects the filter from dirt and damage.

If the filter does not automatically darken, then immediately end the welding procedure and contact the manufacturer.

- Only use the welding helmet in temperatures between -5 °C and +55 °C. The filter's reaction time will slow down if this temperature has not been reached or is exceeded.

■ Clean the filter, the surface of the helmet and the solar cells regularly.
■ Replace the protective visor if scratches or damages appear.
■ The welding helmet does not provide protection against impact.
- Frequent use, cleaning or storage can mean that the service life is less than 6 years. Replace the welding helmet immediately if the viewing panel gets scratched or the viewing panel is visibly damaged in any other way.

ATTENTION! Materials that

come into contact with the wearer's skin may cause allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin.

ATTENTION! Eye protection

can represent a hazard for the wearer if it is worn over normal corrective glasses due to the impact from high-speed particles.

ATTENTION! If protection

against high-speed particles at extreme temperatures is required, the eye protection chosen must be labelled with the letter T directly after the letter for the impact intensity, i. e. FT, BT or AT. If the letter for the impact intensity is not followed by the letter T, the eye protection may only be used against high-speed particles at room temperature.

- Initial use

Note: Only use the welding helmet with the rear pane mounted 4.

Note: Keep the UV filter's sensors 8 clean and clear.

Check that the welding helmet and the protective screen are intact before each use. If the protective screen has scratches, cracks or irregularities, it must be replaced before use, as serious injuries may occur otherwise.

■ Remove the protective film from the inside and the outside of the visor.

Put on the welding helmet with the help of the headband 5. Press the adjustment buttons 6 to make the welding helmet tighter and the adjustment button 7, to fix the welding helmet. When adjusting, ensure that your head is placed as far into the helmet as possible and that it sits as close as possible to your face.

■ Set the appropriate darkening shade before the welding procedure (see the following table). The darkening shade may be manually

adjusted from 9 to 13 by twisting the darkening regulator 9 on the outside of the helmet.

ATTENTION! The darkening regulator 9

has the setting position "grind". If the darkening regulator 9 is set to this position the automatic darkening is deactivated.

Only use this setting when you do not wish to use the welding helmet for welding. The automatic darkening is then no longer active.

- Check the light density before each use.

Test procedure: Bring the viewing panel closer to an external light source with a value of more than 40 W and examine whether or not the screen darkens or illuminates. To do so, turn the darkening control 9 clockwise from "Grind" to the next position. This sets the filter to auto-darkening mode. If you turn the darkening control 9 anticlockwise back to "Grind", the filter's auto-darkening feature is once again deactivated.

To replace the UV filter/solar cell, press the locking lugs on both sides of the filter outwards (see figure B). Then use a finger to lift the filter at the notch at the top of the filter. (Variant: Black)

To replace the UV filter/solar cell, pull the bracket 16 at the bottom edge of the filter over the two protruding locking pins and outwards (see figure C). Flip the bracket upwards (see figure D). With your thumbs centred underneath the filter, lift the filter and pull it down to remove it. (Variant: With flames)

- You can use the test button to check whether the welding helmet's darkening feature is working properly.

- You can adjust the delay setting to configure whether or not the auto-darkening feature should be switched off immediately after stopping welding work, depending on the type of welding work. At the lowest setting, auto-darkening is switched off immediately. Turn the rotary switch clockwise towards the highest setting to prolong the time the auto-darkening feature remains active after welding work. This feature is very useful for handling afterglow.

- You can use the sensitivity setting to adjust the light sensitivity of the sensor. With low incident light, the control can be adjusted to the highest setting to ensure that the auto-darkening feature is activated even for a weak light source. Even with this additional feature, you can also adjust the light sensitivity of the sensor to suit your own personal requirements.

The lowlight sensor switches the LED lamp on in dark environments and off in brightly lit environments. This helps to illuminate the object being welded in dark working conditions. The LED lamp can be switched on and off using the lamp control 14. If the battery charge level is too low, you can replace the batteries. To do so, slide the left side of the battery compartment 15 to the left (see figure A). A low battery charge level is indicated with a red warning light on the display 13.

- Cleaning and Maintenance

- Do not use any harsh cleaning agents to clean the helmet casing 2.

■ Never bring the UV filter into contact with water.

- Clean the product with a soft, dry cloth, with a cloth dampened with pure alcohol or with a cloth dampened with disinfectant.
