Frequently Asked Questions About Welding Shields

What happens if you weld without a welding shield?

Welding without a proper shield exposes your eyes and face to intense UV and infrared light, sparks, and flying debris. This can cause serious injuries like arc eye (a painful inflammation of the cornea), burns, and permanent vision damage. The bright arc can also cause immediate eye discomfort and long-term harm.

How does a welding shield work?

A welding shield protects your eyes and face by filtering out harmful rays and particles. Auto-darkening shields use sensors to detect the welding arc and instantly darken the lens to a safe shade, allowing you to see clearly before and after welding. The shield also blocks heat, sparks, and flying slag from reaching your skin.

Why is my auto darkening welding helmet not darkening?

Common reasons include dead or low batteries, dirty sensors blocked by dirt or welding spatter, or incorrect sensitivity settings. Make sure the helmet’s sensors are clean and unobstructed, check the battery level, and adjust the sensitivity and delay controls as needed to match your welding environment.

Why do welders lose their eyesight?

Eye damage often results from prolonged exposure to welding arcs without proper protection. UV and infrared radiation can cause arc eye, cataracts, or retinal damage. Repeated exposure to sparks and flying debris without a shield can also cause physical injuries. Using a quality welding shield significantly reduces these risks.

Can I use a welding shield for grinding or cutting?

Many welding shields have a grind mode that disables the auto-darkening feature, allowing you to use the shield for grinding or cutting safely. This protects your eyes from sparks and debris during these tasks while maintaining clear vision. Always check your shield’s features to confirm compatibility.
