Operations

Overview

This blade welder uses electrical resistance (induc- tion) to weld bandsaw blade ends. Afterwards, the annealing process gives the weld strength and flexibility.

Hot sparks from the welding process can damage your eyes and skin. During welding operations, always wear safety goggles and protective gear, and keep the spark deflec- tor over the welding clamps to reduce your risk.

Blade Shear

To use the blade shear, place the back of the blade evenly against the front alignment wings of the blade shear, as shown in Figure 8, then firmly pull the handle down to square off the blade end.

Blade Preparation

When welding the blade, the ends must evenly butt up against each other and be square. This will ensure the that the weld is of even thickness for the full width of the blade.

To prepare the blade for welding:

1.Turn the main ON/OFF switch ON (it is locat- ed on top of the welder).

2.Be sure to grind off any teeth that are in the blade welding zone (see Figures 9–10).

Note: Make sure the blade ends are even with each other after grinding them.
