The classic ESAB Savage A40 now comes with a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR). It filters 99.9% of fine air particles during routine welding. With a large 100 x 50 mm (3.93 x 1.96 in.) ADF, welders get an optimal True Color view of the weld pool in 1/1/1/2 class optical quality. Just like the Sentinel, it has an externally activated grind mode button for convenience. The DIN 9 - 13 adjustment knob lets you change shades easily, even with heavy gloves. It offers a 3.93 x 1.96 in. viewing area for a wider vision and better spatial awareness. The 1/1/1/2 optical - class lens uses ultra - clear true - color technology for a clearer weld pool view. The lightweight helmet shell has multi - point adjustable headgear, protecting from heat, sparks, and spatter comfortably. The sensitivity and delay control inside the helmet allow seamless setting adjustments, and four light sensors ensure a fast auto - darkening response. The NIOSH - approved PAPR filtration system has three - setting adjustable flow from 170 to 230 liters per minute. It features a convenient push - button interface with an easy - to - read LCD display for PAPR adjustment. A high - efficiency 2 - stage filtration system with a spark arrestor adds safety. The LCD shows fan speed, flow rate, and battery charge, with an audible low - battery alert. The high - quality shielded air tube has simple connections. The fully adjustable PAPR harness and multi - point helmet headgear provide total comfort. The four - sensor ADF has adjustable shade, sensitivity, and delay controls. True color gives a brighter view and better color definition. Four arc sensors offer a higher auto - darkening response. It uses a rechargeable Lithium - ion battery that lasts up to eight hours between charges. Included are the Savage PAPR helmet, blower unit, battery and charger, 2 filters, 6 pre - filters, spark arrestor, shoulder and waist straps (with waist extender), storage bag, and manuals.
Using the ESAB Savage A40 PAPR System is easy. First, put on the PAPR harness and adjust it for comfort. Then attach the shielded air tube to the blower unit and the helmet. Put on the helmet and adjust the multi - point headgear to fit your head well. Turn on the system using the push - button interface on the PAPR. You can adjust the flow rate according to your needs, which has three settings from 170 to 230 liters per minute. When welding, the four light sensors and arc sensors will quickly darken the lens to protect your eyes. You can also adjust the shade, sensitivity, and delay controls inside the helmet. During use, make sure the battery is charged. The LCD display will show the battery charge level, and you'll hear an audible alert when the battery is low. After use, turn off the system and disconnect the air tube. Clean the helmet regularly to remove dust and debris. Replace the filters and pre - filters as recommended in the manual. Store the system in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place.
