t10499/t10500 Blade Welder
Note: You can make sure that the blade
ends are even with each other by stacking
them together with the teeth facing in oppo-
site directions (see
Figure 11
), then grinding
them. Regardless of the grinding angle, the
blade ends will match evenly for welding.
figure 11. Blade ends stacked with teeth facing
opposite directions.
3. use 120-grit emery cloth or an equivalent
to lightly sand the part of the blade that will
contact the welder clamps. this helps ensure
a good electrical contact with the blade for
welding.
Note: To prevent dulling the teeth, keep the
emery cloth away from them when sanding
the blade surface.

2. thoroughly clean the welding clamps to
remove debris, oily substances, or flash from
previous welding operations. if necessary,
lightly sand them with 120-grit emery cloth.
3. rotate the clamp pressure switch
(see
figure 12) to zero. this spreads the
clamps apart to allow proper positioning of
the blade ends.
