My helmet is flashing me
Hi all,
I am a very beginner (TIG) welder, just running a few beads for practice. But one of the challenges I did not expect is that I am having a weird issue with my helmet. Every so ofthen it will auto undarken, giving my a very bright flash. Most of the time I flinch and stop, but if I simply ignore that and keep on welding it darkens again within less than a second and then carries on as if nothing has happened.
I assume this is user error
This is a brand new, cheap full face auto darkening helmet that I have set as:
- Sensitivity max
- Delay changing back to clear about a second
- Shade 12
- there is a slider switch Grind | 5-8 | 9-13 which I have on the 9-13 option, by setting this to grind I also use this as the basic on off switch.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Sander
