INSPECTION OF THE WELD
When the band is removed from the welder it should be inspected carefully. The spacing of the teeth should be uniform
and the weld should be located in the center of the gullet. Major jaw misalignment is easily noted at this time from the
weld appearance. See the Trouble Shooting Chapter if the weld is imperfect.
Some of the
characteristics of
good and bad
welds.
Hold a straight edge
to the back edge of
the band to check for
misalignment.
