Saw blade preparation
1.Wearing
Note: The ends must be cut perfectly square to attain a full width weld. The cut should be made in an area between the blade’s teeth (especially with larger blades). If hand shears (not included) are used to cut the blade, it may be necessary to file the ends until they are square. Use a square (tool, not included) to make sure the blade ends are 90°. There should be no taper on the very end of the blade.
2.Using a fine emery cloth (not included), lightly clean both ends (and flat surfaces near the ends) of the saw blade. Remove all burrs. Completely clean off all dirt, coatings, and oil.
