The helmet takes the place of a safety helmet and gives a firm attachment to the flip-up visor. When welding the visor is dropped to protect the eyes from the light coming from the welding torch. It is obviously difficult to see anything through the visor except the filtered welding torch flame. The visor can be flipped up to let the welder clearly see the result of the weld, or to move to another spot.
