  If your Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens darkens and lightens while welding, review the sensitivity settings and increase sensitivity if possible. Make sure the arc sensors aren't blocked from the arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt or spatter that might be blocking the sensors. Increasing the lens delay slightly may also help reduce switching.

  If your Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens isn't darkening, stop welding immediately. Ensure the power is on, then check the sensitivity settings and adjust as needed. Verify the helmet isn't in Grind mode. Clean the lens cover and sensors to remove any obstructions. Confirm the sensors face the arc correctly; angles beyond 45 degrees might prevent light detection. Inspect the battery, ensuring it's in good condition and properly installed. Clean the battery surface and contacts if necessary. Also, check for proper contact and gently adjust contact points, especially if the helmet has been dropped.

  If your Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens remains dark after welding, fine-tune the sensitivity by slightly adjusting the control toward the LO setting. If there is too much light around you, it might be necessary to reduce the surrounding light levels.

  If sections of your Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens aren't darkening and there are distinct lines between light and dark areas, stop welding immediately. This could be because the auto-lens is cracked, possibly from dropping the helmet or weld spatter. The lens may need replacing.

Why does my Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens have inconsistent shading on the edges?
- R
  Ryan GonzalezAug 28, 2025
  The lighter shading on the edges and corners of your Hobart Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens is due to the viewing angle effect, where auto-darkening lenses have an optimum viewing angle. This is normal and doesn't pose a health or safety risk. This effect might be more noticeable if you're using magnifying lenses.
