To use the grind function turn the on/off (grind)/shade select knob to grind, when its
switched to grind mode, it means that the auto darkening filter will not turn black when
detecting any arc light, before using it for welding purposes it must be switched back
to a shade position.

the filter from automatically changing to a dark state, this will hurt or even
damage your eyes.

to the dark state (see below) when the welding or the cutting
starts. The filter will automatically return to a light state when the
welding or cutting stops
