HELMET CARE AND MAINTENANCE Virtually maintenance free: • Periodic cleaning with soapy water solution or standard glass cleaner is suggested for any ADF to function properly. Use soft cloth or eye glass wipes. • This ADF is water resistant. Do “NOT” submerge in water or other solution. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Test your ADF filter prior to welding by directing the front of the filter toward a bright source of light, then using your fingers rapidly cover and uncover the sensors.

ADF stays dark after you stop welding: • The temperature limitations of the ADF have been exceeded. Let the ADF cool down and try not to over heat it again by viewing the arc from the side or at a greater distance. • It may remain dark if you are facing a bright light or the sun. Look away or pass your hand between the sensor and light source. ADF is cracked: • Cease (STOP) using this product if this problem exists. UV/IR protection may be compromised resulting in burns to the eyes or skin.
