1. Position the headgear inside the helmet. Assemble the helmet by inserting the
stud screw through the headgear and helmet into the tension nut. DO NOT
tighten the tension nut at this time.
2. Position the adjustment arms on both sides of
the helmet. Place the small pins through the
helmet and into one of the small holes on the
adjustment arms. This controls the fit of the
helmet when lowered over the face and can be

weld metal to flow smoothly onto the work piece. If the bead is too high or too wide,
your speed is too slow. If the bead is too narrow, your speed is too fast.
• If the flux-core wire is burning up before leaving the contact tip, the wire speed
is too slow. More tension should be added to the wire feed adjustment spring.
