When using a handheld welding mask, it should be held with one hand and positioned over the face. It's crucial to ensure that the mask is not held too far from the face, as this could allow UV rays to penetrate the eyes or sparks and spatters to enter through any gaps between the mask and the face. For better accuracy, welders can bring the welding rod closer to the workpiece before putting on the mask.
Head mask types can be worn over the head or secured using a fixed band. These masks provide complete face coverage and are highly secure, offering continuous protection. They also free up both hands for welding tasks, enhancing overall workability.
