0700000491 - ESAB Savage A40 Yellow Auto-Darkening Helmet 9-13

High-Performance Protection with True Color Technology

The ESAB Savage A40 Yellow Welding Helmet (0700000491) represents a significant leap forward in welding safety and visibility for professional and occasional welders alike. Engineered with a lightweight, high-tech shell, this helmet is designed to protect against heat, sparks, and spatter while minimizing neck strain during long shifts. The standout feature of the Savage A40 is its advanced Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) equipped with True Color technology. Unlike traditional green-tinted lenses, the True Color lens provides a brighter, more natural view of the weld puddle and surrounding area, enhancing color definition and optical clarity. With an optical classification of 1/1/1/2, welders can expect distortion-free visibility that improves weld quality and reduces eye fatigue.

Versatile Control for Every Application

Versatility is at the core of the Savage A40's design. It features an external shade adjustment knob that allows operators to seamlessly switch between DIN 9 and DIN 13, making it suitable for a wide range of welding processes including MIG/MAG, TIG, and Stick welding. For grinding tasks, the helmet includes an externally activated Grind Button, which locks the lens into a Shade 4 state. This convenient feature eliminates the need to remove the helmet or flip up the front when switching between welding and grinding, significantly improving workflow efficiency. Inside the helmet, users can fine-tune sensitivity and delay settings. The delay control is particularly useful for setting how long the lens remains dark after the arc stops—short for tack welding and longer for high-amperage applications.

Reliable Detection and Comfort

Equipped with four high-performance arc sensors, the Savage A40 ensures rapid and reliable auto-darkening response, even when the sensors might be partially obstructed. This multi-sensor array is critical for out-of-position welding and complex fabrication tasks. The helmet is also TIG optimized, capable of detecting arcs down to 5 amps, making it an excellent choice for precision low-amp work. The viewing area measures a generous 3.93 x 1.96 inches (100 x 50 mm), offering a wide field of vision that increases spatial awareness. Power is supplied by a solar cell assisted by a user-replaceable CR2450 lithium battery, ensuring long-term reliability and easy maintenance.
