Versatility to upgrade your performance
Farwell to compromises
Are you a professional welder who performs a variety of welding and grinding tasks?
You need a welding helmet versatile enough so that you do not have to compromise on function, performance OR safety.
That’s why we have designed the 3M™ Speedglas™ Welding Helmet G5-03.
Versatility to upgrade your performance!
This welding helmet is designed for the welder who may need…
…a comfortable and well-balanced helmet …safety helmet compatibility3) …an excellent view ...protection against arc welding radiation2)
…to perform grinding tasks
The helmet features an option of three different auto darkening and four shades of passive welding filter4):
One great design… …two versatile helmets.
Designed
Great clarity before, during and after welding
With 3M™ Speedglas™ Natural Color Technology colors appear brighter and more realistic in both the light and dark states. A more realistic view may enable:
Accuracy
Recognize color and contrast and see more details when using the welding filter.
Productivity
Better focus on the welding setup, welding technique and inspection of justcompleted welds.
Quality
May help to increase the quality and precision of the welds.
Choose the welding filter most suitable for your work and preference
3M offers a range of updated* auto-darkening filters and passive-lens alternatives. For maximum benefit, 3M ™ Speedglas™ G5-01 filters also fit the G5-03 helmet and vice versa.
Customize the filter color
To provide even better view and control of your weld puddle, joint and arc choose our filter with the 3M™ Speedglas™ Variable Color Technology. It changes the colors seen through the welding filter in the dark state.
When not welding, the filter displays colors as they appear naturally (Natural Color Technology).
You can switch between three different filter colors depending on welding method and work piece material.
G5-01/03VC (variable color)
4 arc-detection
G5-01/03TW (tack welding)
state 2.5
4 arc-detection sensors
G5-01/03NC

G5-01/03-Passive
Enhance your grinding
The 2.5* light state in combination with an optional task light will allow you to grind with increased visibility. The TAP function allows for quick and easy switching between welding and GRIND (or CUT) mode.
Light state 2.5 TAP function Task light
Tap on the side of the welding helmet, with or without a glove, to easily switch between grind (or cut) mode and weld mode.
Easy switching is just a tap away
Switch quickly between modes (GRIND/CUT and WELD) by simply tapping the side of the helmet with your hand – even when wearing gloves.
The TAP function is robust and intuitive, and can be inactivated whenever needed by simply pressing the ADF buttons.
Built into the G5-01/03TW and G5-01/03VC welding filters, the TAP function may help to improve productivity with button-less control.
1 Use the interface on the filter to set if you want to use TAP function with grind or cut mode.
2 TAP on the side of the welding helmet to switch between GRIND and WELD mode or CUT and WELD mode.
3 The filter will switch to desired setting.
4 Tap again and the filter switches back to welding mode.
Adjustable air distribution and air flow control
Direct the air flow over your face, head, or both. Optimized air distribution and air flow-control helps prevent your eyes from drying out. All this leads to increased comfort in your hemet.
Right side control
Direct the airflow to either your face, your visor, or some combination of both.
Left side control
Adjust the amount of air coming from the top outlet vs. the two side outlets, or choose a blend of both.
Sometimes you weld in a location that requires you to wear a safety helmet. Using a quick release system, the G5-03 Pro helmet may be utilised with an adaptor to securely and easily attach the welding helmet to various 3M safety helmets.
The adjustable adaptors lets you attach your welding helmet to 3M selected safety helmets.
Helping to improve performance and life for welders
Some welders prefer to wear a heavy duty PAPR Backpack, which hold the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) flat against your back and can make it easier to move around some workspaces.
The heavy duty backpack is designed for welding applications and the 3M™ Adflo™ PAPR and aims to provide comfort, light weight, robustness, stability and good percieved balance.
3M™ Connected Equipment App
Get the most from your G5-03 welding helmet by connecting it to the 3M equipment app.
• Set up your equipment
• Get reminders for maintenance
• Have instant access to user manuals
• Program memory modes for dark shades, sensitivity, delay and more
a uniform light at welding working distance.
Light Up Your Workspace
The optional helmet-mounted task light may help welders stay productive in poorly lit areas. It delivers a better view of the work area before and after welding, which may help to reduce fatigue.
3M™ Speedglas™ Task Light is designed to be low profile and lightweight, helping welders in low light environments.
For welders requiring air delivery, the task light can be connected to 3M™ G5-03 Pro Air and is powered by the 3M™ Adflo™ powered air respirator, reducing the need for an additional battery and enabling extended run times.
For welders using the G5-03 Pro, a battery pack is available which connects to the rear of the welding helmet for a balanced fit.
