Westward 44R226 Auto-Darkening Helmet
The Westward 44R226 is a new auto-darkening welding helmet finished in black, blue and white graphics. It uses a lithium-ion CR2450 battery rated for 2,500 hours and carries an EN379 1/1/1/2 classification. A low-battery alarm and a test button let the operator verify lens response before starting work.
Grind-mode helmet for occasional fabricators
The helmet includes a grind mode and five-point adjustable headgear with a removable sweatband, suiting hobbyists and light-duty fabricators who switch between welding and grinding. Professional welders needing faster switching speeds or a wider shade range should look at other models. The nylon shell measures 26 cm wide and an extra front cover lens is supplied.
EN379 1/1/1/2 optical class decides suitability
The EN379 1/1/1/2 rating defines the optical quality and light-diffusion performance of the auto-darkening filter. Buyers who require a higher classification for critical inspection work will need a different helmet.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 5-point adjustment headgear and what step is often missed?
Fasten the headgear to the nylon shell using the five adjustment points, then attach the removable sweatband; the step often missed is securing the sweatband before tightening the straps.
What maintenance will the CR2450 lithium-ion battery need after roughly 2,500 hours of use?
Replace the CR2450 lithium-ion battery when the low-battery alarm sounds, typically after about 2,500 hours of operation.
What is the first limit reached during prolonged welding at the darkest setting?
The EN379 1/1/1/2 optical classification defines the optical-quality limit, which is reached before thermal or battery limits during sustained use at shade 13.
