Hot sparks from the blade welding opera- tion could be thrown in all directions and cause burns or fire.

When using the blade welder, always keep the spark deflector over the clamps and protect yourself from the flying sparks. Have fire extinguishing equipment readily available.

DO NOT weld near flammables.

NOTICE

For good metal-to-metal contact between the welding clamps and the blade, make sure the blades and the clamps are free from any debris, coatings, or flash before and after each use of the welding station.

Before welding a blade back together to per- form an internal cut, insulate the entire blade from the metal surfaces of the bandsaw to ensure a good flow of current through the blade.

14.Rotate the clamp lever switch to zero to release the clamp pressure.
