5. Loosen the welding clamps by rotating the
lock levers down.
6. Position the back of one blade end evenly
against the back of the welding clamp so
that the end is midway between the two
clamps, then rotate the lock lever as far up
as possible to hold the blade end in place
(see Figure 46).

7. Use the illustration in Figure 47 and set the
correct clamping pressure setting for width of
the blade.
Note: The clamping pressure presses the
blade ends together to help form a strong
weld. The pressure scale is an approximation
only. If you have difficulty getting satisfactory
welds, experiment by increasing or decreas-
ing this pressure.

8. Place the other blade end in the opposite
welding clamp and position it so that it evenly
butts up against the opposing blade end, then
lock it in place by rotating the lock lever all the
way up, as shown in Figure 48.
Note: For a good blade weld, it is critical that
the blade ends evenly butt up against each
other without overlap, gaps, or misalignment.

Light generated during the welding pro-
cess could cause serious eye damage. To
reduce your risk, always use eye protection
approved for welding when using the blade
welder.
Burning sparks may be thrown in all direc-
tions while welding. Protect yourself from
injury by not welding near flammables and
wearing spark-resistant clothing/gloves.
Keep fire extinguishing equipment readily
available.
9. Press and hold the welding button until
the blade joint returns to the original color.
IMPORTANT: Releasing the welder button
immediately may cause weld failure.
10. Allow the blade to cool, rotate the lock levers
down to release the welding clamps, then
rotate the clamping pressure dial fully clock-
wise.
