From the Manufacturer
3M™ Speedglas™ Black Welding Helmet 100 with Auto Darkening Filter 100V and hard hat adapter helps provide eye and face protection for worker safety while welding. The helmet comes ready to use with a lens offering three sensitivity settings: 1) Normal for most types of welding both indoors and outdoors, 2) A setting for when other welders are working nearby, and 3) A setting for low-current or stable arc welding. An adapter makes it convenient for welders who work in environments where more eye and face protection is necessary to add a hard hat. (Hard hat sold separately.)
Auto Darkening Filter Reacts Quickly After Striking an Arc
The Speedglas 100V lens also features five user-selectable dark shades, from shade 8 through shade 12, and a light shade of 3. The auto darkening filter quickly darkens after striking an arc to maintain optimal viewing. The auto darkening filter also reduces the need to flip raise and lower the welding helmet, which can be stressful on the neck and a distraction while welding. The viewing area provides a field of view that allows the welder to see the work in progress with minimal obstruction. This welding helmet comes in a classic black color. Recommended welding applications include metal fabrication, assembly, mechanical and metal repair, maintenance operations.
One Helmet Works for Three Types of Welding
This fully assembled welding helmet with ADF (Auto Darkening Filter) offers sensitivity adjustments for use with most Stick (arc welding), MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding applications. The welding helmet uses an auto darkening filter that can be adjusted for different shades based on the welding amperage. The viewing area measures 1.73 inches high x 3.66 inches wide and has excellent optical quality.
Versatile Eye and Face Protection for Welders
Welding helmets help protect the eyes and face in numerous ways. The helmet helps block welding sparks and spatter from reaching the eyes and face. The helmet also helps protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet, infrared and exceptionally bright light that can cause temporary discomfort or permanent eye damage. Due to the light state shade 3, welders can easily see their workpiece prior to arc start, which promotes accurate electrode and torch placement increasing the quality of the weld. The light state shade 3 also significantly reduces the need to repeatedly raise and lower the welding helmet helping to reduce neck strain from nodding the helmet to the down position.
