Helmet Auto Dark Adjust 9_13 Grinding Function Otosola

The Otosola Professional Series Helmet is a high-performance, versatile safety solution engineered for the demanding South African structural, automotive, and mining sectors. Featuring a fully adjustable Shade 9 to 13 digital filter, it is the primary choice for operators who switch between low-amperage TIG welding and heavy-duty MIG or MMA (Stick) applications. This helmet stands out with its dedicated Grinding Function, allowing the user to lock the lens in a clear state (Shade 4) for post-weld cleanup and surface preparation without the need to switch to a separate face shield.

Key Performance Features

• Variable Shade 9-13 Control: Features an external or internal adjustment dial that allows for precise tuning of the lens darkness, catering to everything from 20A TIG to 400A+ heavy-duty MIG welding.
• Dedicated Grinding Mode: Equipped with a "Grind" switch that disables the auto-darkening sensors, providing a bright, constant view for safe and accurate grinding, cutting, and chipping.
• Rapid 1/25,000s Switching Speed: Utilizing ultra-sensitive light sensors that react almost instantaneously to the arc, virtually eliminating the risk of "arc-eye" during repetitive tacking or high-frequency welding.
• Dual Sensitivity & Delay Adjustments: Allows the operator to customize how quickly the lens darkens in bright sunlight and how fast it returns to the "clear" state after the arc stops, essential for high-heat industrial welds.

Ideal Applications

• Precision TIG & Stainless Steel Fabrication: The high-sensitivity sensors and variable shade control are ideal for the intricate welds required in South African food-grade and marine industries.
• Structural Steel & Heavy MIG Welding: Provides the maximum eye protection (Shade 13) required for high-amperage structural beam assembly and heavy-duty plate work.
• Industrial Maintenance & Site Repairs: The integrated grinding function makes it the perfect "one-helmet" solution for onsite contractors who need to prep and weld in restricted spaces.
• Agricultural Engineering: A rugged and adaptable tool for repairing complex farm machinery, combine harvesters, and irrigation systems where various welding processes are used.

Product Benefits

• High-Definition "True-Color" Optics: Many Otosola models feature advanced lens technology that provides a more natural color spectrum, allowing the welder to see the "puddle" and heat-affected zone with greater clarity.
• Ergonomic "Comfort-Fit" Headgear: Designed with a multi-point adjustable ratcheting system that balances the weight of the helmet, significantly reducing neck strain during long shifts.
• Solar-Powered with Replaceable Backup: Combines high-efficiency solar cells with long-life lithium batteries, ensuring the helmet is always ready to strike an arc, even after storage.

Pro Tip: When using the Grinding Function, always remember to switch the helmet back to "Weld" mode before striking your next arc. For the best performance in the intense South African sun, adjust your Sensitivity dial to a lower setting to prevent the sun from accidentally triggering the dark state while you are setting up your workpiece.
