GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING
The surfaces of all conductors etc. to be welded must be clean, dry & bright. Oil
and grease may be burned out with a butane/acetylene torch or cleaned with a
rapid-drying solvent such as Methylene Chloride. After cleaning use a cable
brush or card cloth brush to remove any residue and brighten the surfaces.
PREPARATION OF CABLE
Corroded cable must be cleaned. It is especially important that the ends of the
individual strands are clean; this can best be achieved by making a fresh cut on
the end of the cable.
Bent or out-of-round cable will hold the mould open and cause leeks; therefore,
the cable must be straightened before clamping the mould into place. Remove
any insulation before cutting to prevent insulating material becoming trapped in
the strand-ends.
Remove rust and all scale with a rasp, coarse file or grinder (not resin-bonded).
Galvanised surfaces may be cleaned with emery cloth to remove oxide film; it is
not necessary to remove galvanising.
