VII. DARK SHADER SELECTION
Select the shade level according to the welding process and the value
•
of the welding current by turning the potentiometer knob on the left side
of the helmet
The shade number can be between DIN9 to DIN13. Select a shade
•
number by turning the shade knob until the arrow points to the required
setting (See Shade Guide Table)
ALWAYS use suggested shade numbers instead of minimum shades.
•
Provide additional task lighting that suits welders' needs.
•
ALWAYS use the same shade as the welder's if you are directly
•
observing the welding arc.
Shade numbers are given as a guide only and may be varied to suit individual needs.

*As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to a lighter shade which gives sufficient
view of the weld zone without going below the minimum.
