Page 12 CHAPTER 7 WEDGE CLEANING AND HONING
7.0 Wedge Cleaning and Honing
For accurate welds and longer wedge life, the wedge should be cleaned and honed on a regular basis.
CLEANING: Wedge cleaning should be done daily. There are two ways to clean the wedge.
1.
With the Pressure Rollers in the up position and the wedge in the weld position, use the Brass Brush
provided and clean wedge top and bottom. This can be done after every weld or as needed.
2.
The second method of cleaning the wedge is to increase the temperature to 510 degrees C for 5-10
minutes. This will burn the residue on the wedge and it will flake off. Use the Brass Brush to re-
move.
HONING: Wedge Honing should be done if there are signs of wear on the wedge. This is evident with
uneven welds, rounding edges or corners on the wedge.
1. Install both smooth steel rollers on machine, (do not hone the wedge with the Silicone rollers on
machine).
2. Turn the forward/reverse switch to reverse position.
3. Swing wedge into weld position and close rollers.
4. Take the fine Emery Cloth provided, and run it back through the rollers on top of the wedge. Repeat
this step on the bottom of the wedge.
5. Repeat step 4 top and bottom until there is even wear the full length of wedge.
6. If Honing does not true up the wedge, refer to Wedge Adjustment section. A combination of honing
and adjustment may be necessary.
