dollythelw Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 turn it on - lights should flicker showing setting, press shade until you get the LED under the shade number you want if in doubt change the batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I've just bought a parweld auto darkening adjustable (9-13) for £60 inc VAT and delivery. You can't really miss the knob for adjustment, it's about 20mm across and maybe 6mm thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 sorry - tired head on 9000F - fixed shade, factory set, new lens time if you want any other shade than you've got you can buy just the shade adjustable lens pack and fit it to your hat - might save a few quid?
