My Harbor Freight MIG welder and welding helmet have been on the shelf for a
few years gathering dust. I might have an excuse to use both of them soon. I
took a peak at the helmet thinking maybe the batteries might need replacing,
but it doesn't appear to use any.. So it looks like it uses a panel of some
kind to detect the light from the arc and flips on and darkens the shield. I
took a look at it and all seems to be in order. I remember using it with good
success before.
So I just want to be safe here, is there anything I can/should do to test this
out so I know it will work when I spark up the welder? It didn't seem to
respond much to normal flashlight light... My retinas thank you. -PJ
