2. Sigurnosne informacije
Uvijek dajte prioritet sigurnosti prilikom izvođenja zavarivačkih operacija. Ova maska je dizajnirana da zaštiti vaše oči i lice od štetnog zračenja, iskri i prskanja. Pridržavajte se sljedećih sigurnosnih smjernica:
- Zaštita očiju: This helmet provides protection against ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, even in the light state. However, always ensure the auto-darkening function is operational before welding.
- inspekcija: Before each use, inspect the helmet for any damage, cracks, or loose parts. Ensure the outer and inner protective lenses are clean and free from scratches. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Pravilno pristajanje: Adjust the headgear to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. The helmet should not obstruct your vision or fall off during use.
- ventilacija: Always weld in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling hazardous fumes.
- Temperaturne granice: Do not expose the helmet to extreme temperatures outside its specified operating range.
- čišćenje: Use only recommended cleaning agents and methods to avoid damaging the lens or helmet material.
- Izmjene: Do not modify the helmet or its components. Unauthorized modifications can compromise safety and void the warranty.
3. Komponente i karakteristike
The ESAB Savage A40 welding helmet integrates several key components and features for enhanced performance and user comfort:
- Filter za automatsko zatamnjivanje (ADF): Provides automatic shade adjustment upon arc ignition.
- Tehnologija pravih boja: Offers a brighter view and enhanced color definition for improved visibility of the weld puddle and surrounding environment.
- External Shade Adjustment: Easily adjust the shade level between DIN 9 and DIN 13 without removing the helmet.
- Internal Sensitivity Control: Adaptable feature for fine-tuning the lens reaction to arc light, especially useful for low ampopasno TIG zavarivanje.
- Internal Delay Control: Adjusts how long the lens remains dark after the welding arc stops. A short delay is ideal for tack welding, while a longer delay is beneficial for high amperage zavarivanje.
- Four Arc Sensors: Ensures a higher and more reliable auto-darkening response.
- Veliki Viewpodručje: A 100 x 50 mm (3.93 x 1.96 in.) viewing area provides a wide field of vision and increased spatial awareness.
- Eksterno dugme za mlevenje: Conveniently switch to Shade 4 Grind Mode without lifting the helmet.

4. Podešavanje
4.1 Raspakivanje
Carefully remove the welding helmet and all accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present and undamaged.
4.2 Podešavanje naglavnog pribora
Pravilno podešavanje naglavnog držača je ključno za udobnost i stabilnost.
- Headband Diameter: Rotate the knob at the back of the headgear to adjust the headband to fit snugly around your head.
- Podešavanje gornjeg remena: Podesite gornji remen kako biste kacigu pravilno postavili na glavu, osiguravajući viewPodručje za gledanje je u visini očiju.
- Distance from Face: Adjust the side knobs to set the distance of the helmet from your face. This should allow for comfortable breathing and prevent fogging, while maintaining proper eye protection.
- Podešavanje nagiba: Some headgears allow for tilt adjustment. Set the tilt to your preferred working angle.

4.3 Instalacija/provjera baterije
The ESAB Savage A40 helmet uses 1 CR2 battery (included). The helmet is typically ready for use out of the box. To check battery status or replace the battery:
- Locate the battery compartment, usually on the ADF unit.
- Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the correct polarity.
- A low battery indicator may be present on the ADF. If illuminated, replace the battery.
5. Uputstvo za upotrebu
Familiarize yourself with the helmet's controls before beginning any welding task.
5.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje napajanja
The auto-darkening filter is typically solar-powered with battery assist and activates automatically when exposed to light. There is no manual on/off switch for the ADF itself. The helmet will enter a low-power state when not in use.
5.2 Podešavanje zasjenjenja
The external knob on the side of the helmet allows for quick adjustment of the welding shade.
- Rotate the external knob to select a shade level between DIN 9 and DIN 13.
- Choose the appropriate shade based on your welding process and amperage. Refer to standard welding shade charts for guidance.
5.3 Kontrola osjetljivosti
The sensitivity control, located inside the helmet, adjusts how readily the ADF reacts to the welding arc.
- Adjust the sensitivity knob (labeled "SENSITIVITY") to a higher setting for welding low amperage TIG or in environments with low ambient light.
- Lower the sensitivity in bright environments or when experiencing unwanted darkening from other light sources.
5.4 Delay Control
The delay control, also located inside the helmet, determines how long the lens remains dark after the welding arc ceases.
- Postavite a short delay for quick tack welding to speed up work.
- Postavite a longer delay za visoko amperage welding to protect your eyes from residual glow of the weld puddle.
5.5 Grind Mode
The external grind button allows for easy switching to grind mode without removing the helmet.
- Press the external "Grind" button to activate Shade 4 Grind Mode. The lens will remain in a light shade suitable for grinding operations.
- Press the button again to return to welding mode.

6. Održavanje
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welding helmet.
6.1 Čišćenje
- Školjka kacige: Clean the helmet shell with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Zaštitne leće: Wipe the outer and inner protective lenses with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for plastic or glass. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- ADF Filter: The auto-darkening filter itself should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the ADF in water or cleaning solutions.
6.2 Zamjena sočiva
