4.3. Variable shade control
Before welding, please adjust the Shade Knob to proper shade no. based on weld-
ing process and welding amperage to make primary welding for test ( Seeing the
Shade Guide Table ). If the shade of filter is too darkening or too light, please adjust
the Shade Knob slightly to correct position till the eyes can see the welding spot
which is not glaring and can see welding molten pool. Please kindly note that it will
damage the eyes if using welding helmet under incorrect shade no.(too darkening
or too light) for a long time.
Attention! If the filter can not be darkening or the darkening shade is not enough or
the: darkening speed is slow or the filter is flash, for such abnormal work, please find
the reason immediately. If operator can not solve the problem, please must stop
using the helmet immediately and contact with the dealer in time!
For PANTHER 4.6, it is possible to select two DIN darkening ranges:
DIN 5 - DIN 9 and DIN 9 - DIN 13.
The adjustment of the 5-9/ 9-13 range knob defines the range which is being used.
Select the prescribed shade level you required according to the welding process
you will use (see“shade selection chart”below).

4.4 Delay control
Delay time knob: Delay time can be adjusted, time of filter from dark state to light
state, avoid the damage to eyes from the residual arc of welding molten pool due to
too fast switching time to light state when welding is end (Break arc). The delay time
is 0.1s-1.0s The switching time may vary due to different welding types and different
sensitivity setting even delay time handle is at the same position. If the filter is flash
under low current welding, please adjust the delay time handle to long position, this
can help to solve this problem!
The „Low Battery” indicator helps to monitor the function of the basic LCD system.
When the LED is red, then the battery has to be changed. One pc. of CR2450 Li
battery is installed into the LCD frame. You can change the battery with bare hands
without any tools.
Weld/Grind mode can be selected by adjusting the Grind/Shade number.
The “GRIND FLASH” light will flash when using grind mode.
Note: Do not weld in the Grind mode, the ADF will not darken.
