REPLACEMENT VISOR LENS FOR GRINDER HOOD

Love your Grinder Hood but wish it could do more than just handle grinding debris? This is how you take it to the next level. Add the Grinder Hood Visor Clip, snap in a #5 or #8 shaded outer visor, and turn the same hood you already use for grinding and cutting into a much more versatile shaded face-protection system.

The outer visor works together with the replaceable inner lens to build the shade level you need for the job. Run a darker inner lens on its own, add a shaded outer visor when you need more protection, or pair the #5 inner lens with the #8 outer visor to reach Shade 13 protection. One hood, multiple configurations, and no need to switch to an entirely different setup every time the work changes.

Applications & Performance

The Replacement Visor Lens adds another level of flexibility to the Benchmark Grinder Hood by allowing a shaded outer lens to be mounted in front of the inner lens.

#5 Outer Visor

The #5 outer visor adds moderate shade to the Grinder Hood system and can be paired with the appropriate inner lens to build the shade level needed for the application.

#8 Outer Visor

The #8 outer visor is the darkest outer visor in the system and gives you the greatest range when combined with darker inner lenses.

Pair it with the #5 inner lens to reach the Grinder Hood's maximum:

#5 Inner Lens + #8 Outer Visor = Shade 13 Protection

Build Your Grinder Hood Lens System

The Grinder Hood was designed to be more than a fixed clear face shield. Its modular lens system lets you change the configuration as the job changes.

Inner Lens Options

• #1 Clear — Grinding, cutting, deburring, sanding, and general fabrication
• #3 — Additional shade for appropriate applications
• #5 — Higher-shade inner lens and the foundation for the Shade 13 configuration

Grinder Hood Visor Clip

The Grinder Hood Visor Clip mounts above the inner lens and provides the attachment point for the outer visor.

To install the system, remove the center cover above the Grinder Hood lens, install the visor clip into the housing, and mount the shaded outer visor.

Outer Visor Options

• #5 Outer Visor
• #8 Outer Visor

Maximum Shade Configuration

#5 Inner Lens + #8 Outer Visor = Shade 13 Protection

That gives you the ability to use the same Grinder Hood for everyday grinding and cutting, then build it into a higher-shade setup when the application calls for it.

Select the shade appropriate for the welding process and operating amperage.

Safety Tips

• Use the outer visor only with the Benchmark Abrasives Grinder Hood and matching visor clip system.
• Inspect the visor before each use and replace it if cracked, heavily scratched, damaged, or otherwise compromised.
• Make sure the visor is fully seated in the clip system before beginning work.
• Select the appropriate inner-lens and outer-visor combination for the application.
• The standard clear Grinder Hood lens does not provide the shade required for welding.
• The #5 inner lens combined with the #8 outer visor provides Shade 13 protection.
• Keep all required machine guards installed and properly positioned.
• Do not use the Grinder Hood or visor system for sandblasting.
