    The 3M Speedglas G5-03 Pro Welding Helmet uses next-generation technology to help provide dynamic welding protection. Intuitively designed for the challenges faced on the job, this helmet setup includes a haptic function. Just tap 3 times anywhere on either side of the helmet to activate grind or cut mode. We make use of the welding technology of the future, today — equip the 3M Speedglas G5-03 Pro Welding Helmet with various accessories, such as a task-light, neck cover and head cover to configure the helmet to meet your specific needs.

    3M Speedglas Welding Helmet, G5-03 Pro is specifically designed for the versatile welder. The helmet allows you to switch between welding and grinding tasks through the new Tap functionality. With highly customisable adjustment settings, including more control over how you see your weld pool, and how you configure the helmet for additional protection against radiation, sparks and spatter, G5-03 Pro allows you to take control over your protection. The G5-01/03NC welding filter, from the G5-series welding filters, has Natural Colour Technology so welders can see colours more naturally and have improved contrast during welding. The new optional Task Light also allows you to see more of your workpiece. The optional helmet adaptor system also enables the connection of a hard hat for welders requiring head protection.

    Speedglas G5 Series FAQs

    Answers to common questions about choosing, setting up and looking after an auto-darkening welding helmet, including versions that can be used with a powered air respirator.

    How do I choose the right shade on an auto-darkening welding helmet?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The right shade depends on the welding process and the current you are using. The harmful radiation is invisible, so the shade number matters even if the arc looks comfortable to the eye. The published shade tables give a range of numbers for each process and current, and they are guidance rather than a fixed rule, so personal preference and the task come into it too.

    Start from the shade chart in the helmet's manual, then adjust within the recommended range. If you are unsure, go darker rather than lighter, and ask our team to help you match the helmet to your process.

    Do I need a respirator as well as a welding helmet?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A welding helmet on its own does not protect your lungs. All welding fume, including from mild steel, can cause cancer, so when welding indoors use local extraction at the weld, with respiratory protection where your risk assessment says extraction alone is not enough. Respiratory protection is also needed for welding outdoors.

    For arc welding, a battery-powered air-fed helmet that combines respiratory, eye and face protection is widely regarded as the best option for longer work. Your risk assessment and the manufacturer's instructions decide which combination is suitable for your job.

    What should I check on a powered air helmet before each use?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The HSE says respiratory protective equipment must be thoroughly inspected before each use, and that regular examinations, maintenance and repairs of reusable equipment should be recorded.

    In practice that means following the maker's pre-use routine: check the battery is charged, the filters and any spark guard are fitted correctly and undamaged, the air hose and connections are sound, and the airflow indicator or test shows the unit is supplying air as the manual describes. Do not weld if any check fails; replace or repair the part first.

    How can I protect my eyes and the people around me from arc eye?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Arc eye is inflammation of the cornea caused by ultraviolet radiation from the arc. Symptoms such as red, watery, painful, gritty eyes often appear a few hours later, so you may not realise you were exposed until it is too late. Radiation is stronger the closer you are and the longer you are exposed.

    Use a correctly shaded filter, and wear safety glasses with side protection under the helmet if your risk assessment calls for them. Screen the work area so colleagues passing by are shielded. If anyone develops symptoms, they should seek medical advice.
