INTRODUCTION
The auto-darkening lter (ADF) is an electronic lter cassette
that darkens from light state to a pre-selected dark shade when
the welding arc is ignited. Select the appropriate shade before
you start welding. This product is designed to help protect your
eyes from harmful radiation including visible light, ultra-violet
radiation (UV) and infra-red radiation (IR) resulting from certain
welding processes. ADF oers permanent protection against UV/
IR rays, heat and sparks in any state from the light to the dark.
SAFETY
• When tted to a suitable face shield that meets the
necessary and local safety standards, this ADF is suitable
for welding, grinding, cutting, spraying and arc gouging. It
is not suitable for laser welding and oxyacetylene welding/
cutting processes.
• The ADF does not protect against explosive devices or
corrosive liquids.
• Always use the protective lens on the ADF. Replace the
protective lens when it becomes dirty/discolored/worn/
cracked/scratched/pitted.
• Avoid heavy knocks on the ADF as it may break.
• If the ADF does not darken when the arc ignites, stop
welding immediately. Inspect the ADF, check the batteries
and change if necessary. If this does not help, contact a
Kemppi representative or your supervisor.
• The ADF is not water-proof or water resistant. Do not
immerse it in water. Protect the lter from contact with
liquids and dirt.
• The recommended operating temperature range is
-5°C…+55°C (23°F…131°F). Do not use the ADF beyond this

temperature range.
• Never place the ADF on a hot surface.
• Never open or tamper with the ADF.
• Do not make any modications to the ADF, unless specied
in this manual.
• Do not use other replacement parts than those specied in
this manual. Unauthorized modications and replacement
parts void the warranty and may expose the wearer to
unnecessary risk of personal injury.
• Clean the surface regularly. Do not use strong cleaning
solutions or solvents. Always keep the sensors and solar
cells clean. See Maintenance.
• Materials which may come into contact with the wearer’s
skin can cause allergic reactions.
• Failure to follow these safety instructions and/or failure to
follow the operating instructions may cause voiding of the
warranty and cause a risk of personal injury.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Probable cause and recommended actions
The ADF does
not darken or
ickers.
• Front cover lens is soiled or damaged. Change
the cover lens.
• Sensors are soiled. Clean the sensors’ surface.
Slow response • Operating temperature is too low. Do not use
at temperatures below -5ºC (23ºF).
• Add sensitivity.
Poor vision • Protective lens and/or the ADF is soiled.
Change the lens.
• There is insucient ambient light.

OPERATION
Shade denes how dark the ADF gets when the arc ignites. To
select the optimal shade, see the Shade guide table.
Sensitivity denes how easily the ADF photo-sensors respond to
arc light and trigger the darkening of the lter. Use low sensitivity
for high welding currents and welding in bright lighting condi-
tions, such as lamp light or sunlight. Use high sensitivity for low
welding currents, welding in poor lighting conditions and when
using a steady arc process, such as TIG welding process.
Delay denes how long the ADF stays in the dark state to protect
the eyes from the afterglow, when the arc is switched o. Use
MIN delay time for tack welding and production welding with
short welds. Use MAX delay time for welding at high amperage,
where there is a strong afterglow from the weld.
Before use
• Make sure the protective lens is clean. Remove the protective
lm.
• Make sure the sensors on the front of the ADF are clean.

MAINTENANCE
Clean the ADF regularly (for example, when you change the
protective lens). You can either wipe the surface with a clean, dry
piece of cloth, clean it with a piece of smooth cloth moistened
with pure alcohol, or clean it with commercial disinfectant. If used
properly, the ADF requires no further maintenance during its
lifetime.
The period of use depends on various factors such as use, clean-
ing, storage and maintenance.
Storage
Operating temperature: -5°C…+55°C (23°F…131°F). Storage
temperature: -20°C…+50°C (-4°F...122°F). Store the ADF in a dry,
cool and dark place. If the ADF is not to be used for a prolonged
period of time, remove the battery.
Disposal of the product
Do not dispose of the product with household waste. Follow
the local laws and regulations on safe and ecological disposal of
electronic devices.
