MILLER ELECTRIC 256159 Welding Helmet Shade 8 To 13 Black

Miller Electric 256159 welding helmet is designed for workers to safely operate during welding, cutting and grinding applications in construction sites, maintenance & repair shops and refurbishing centres. It is a Digital Performance Series auto-darkening type helmet that darkens the lens automatically on detecting an arc, preventing frequent raising or lowering of the helmets by the operators.

Features:

• Miller Electric 256159 welding helmet has 3 arc sensors for faster adjustment and 3 modes (cut, weld & grind) for diverse applications.
• It has digital controls for easy adjustment of shade, sensitivity, settings and modes.
• This helmet's nylon headgear contains superior adjustability settings, ratcheting suspension and pivoting top & back support straps for greater fit & comfort.
• It has an automatic on / off power control that triggers the lens to auto-darken at the strike of an arc.
• Auto-darkening feature in this helmet offer various operational modes for increasing flexibility & adjusting the shade of the lens according to applications like grinding or plasma cutting.
• This helmet has W8 to W13 welding shades & a TIG rating of 5A for welding and cutting precisely.
• Grind mode in this helmet is suitable for grinding during post-weld cleanup work. This mode improves productivity & safety as it does not require removing of the helmet by the operator to make adjustments.
• Its lens has ClearLight lens technology and features a switching speed of 1/20000 seconds for decreased eye strain during multiple arc starts.
• This helmet is powered by a solar & a lithium-ion battery power source having 3000-hour life.

Compatible Accessories:

• Helmet Hooks: These helmet hooks hold the welding helmet using a headgear. They have a silicone strap to secure the helmet in position.
• Helmet Bibs: These bibs feature velcro attachments for fixing to the helmet and providing added protection.
• Replacement Parts: Users can order new batteries, cover lenses, auto darkening lenses & other parts to replace the old or damaged parts in the welding helmet.

• CSA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are some salient features of an auto-darkening helmet?

A. Auto-darkening helmets are primarily divided into the fixed and variable shade options. A fixed shade helmet darkens to one specific pre-set shade on sensing a specific weld type. It is suitable for those welding operators that repeat the same weld multiple times. Variable shade helmets' lens has multiple selectable shades for use in multiple welding processes and applications. Adjustments to the lens shade can be generally made using a digital keypad based on the brightness of the arc.

Q. What are some common misconceptions about auto-darkening helmets?

A.

• A common misconception regarding auto-darkening welding helmets is that the non-triggering of the auto-darkening feature can cause flash burns for the operator.
• Faster lens switching speed does not equate to a safer welding helmet. All ANSI-certified helmets' lenses provide adequate safety once the helmet is lowered. Faster speeds can however decrease eye fatigue in applications where a large number of arc starts are initiated like tack welding.
• Lens size is mainly dependent on user preference. A larger lens provides greater visibility whereas a smaller lens can reduce the helmet's weight. Users should note that a larger lens increases the helmet's weight and does not determine the helmet's quality. The helmet's quality is based on the lens / glass quality and its electronic components.

Q. What does this Miller Electric 256159 welding helmet include?

A. Miller Electric 256159 welding helmet comes with two inside cover lenses, five outside cover lenses and a helmet bag.
