5.4 Ukulawula Ukubambezeleka
I Ukubambezeleka knob controls the time it takes for the lens to return from dark to light state after the welding arc stops. This can be adjusted from 0.1 to 0.8 seconds to prevent eye fatigue from afterglow.
5.5 Shade Control
I UMTHUNZI knob allows you to select the desired shade level from DIN 9 to DIN 13, suitable for various welding processes and current levels. Refer to welding safety standards for appropriate shade levels.
5.6 Imodi Yokugaya
Yenza kusebenze GRIND MODE when performing grinding operations. In this mode, the auto-darkening function is deactivated, and the lens remains in its light state (shade DIN 4) to provide clear visibility while still offering UV/IR protection.
