Blade Assembly

1. Lay out the parts to get an idea of how they go together. This will keep you from accidentally putting it together wrong. I recommend using a good super glue or epoxy for the plastic parts and hot glue for the wires.
2. Build the blades first. Starting with the pieces shown glue the connecting surfaces and apply a liberal amount of glue in the peg holes. There is a channel that runs the length of the blade where the LEDs will go, try to avoid filling that hole with glue.
3. Insert the pegs and screw together with 2 of the longer 1″ screws.
4. Glue connecting surfaces on the 2 parts shown with a liberal amount of glue.
5. Insert the peg and screw together with 2 of the longer 1″ screws.
6. Glue connecting surfaces on the 2 parts shown with a liberal amount of glue.
7. Insert the peg and screw together with 2 of the shorter 1/2″ screws.
8. Repeat steps 2-8 on the other half.

LEDs and Handle

This sword is powered by an internal battery pack. Here are the items you will need:

1. You should have these parts, or something similar.
2. Trim 2 strips of LEDs at 31″, you can test their length in the blade but they can be a pain to pull back out so I don’t advise it.
3. Cut 2 2 pair wires and a 3rd single wire at 8″. You can go a bit shorter than 8 if you want 8 was a bit long but easy to work with. Tin one end of the wires.
4. Solder the single wire to the switch and solder a red from both pairs as shown above on the other terminal.
5. if you are using shrink tubing you will want to plan ahead and have it on the wires before soldering.
6. Put the shrink tubing over the soldered prongs or apply electrical tape.
7. Pop the switch in the handle base.
8. Solder the Pads on the LED strips.
9. Solder the 2 wire pairs as shown. Make sure the LED orientation is correct with the text right side up. Also, make sure the reds on both go to positive. Which in this case is the right side.
10. Apply electrical tape or shrink tubing to the LED strips.
11. Solder the single wire to the positive terminal of the battery tray, and the 2 blue pairs to the negative terminal as shown above. Note the switch in the picture should be in the handle piece but I took this picture so you could clearly see what is soldered where.
12. Insert the LEDs in the blades facing out.
13. Glue the strips in place so they don’t slide out.
14. Put blades together as shown.
15. Pop in the clear inserts round side first with your fingers or tap them with a screwdriver or hammer.
16. Glue in the switch and reinforce the battery wires with glue to make sure they don’t come undone.
17. Glue the connecting surfaces of the blades, and or the part of the handle where they connect.
18. Slide the sword blades into the handle then screw in 2 1″ screws on each side.
19. Test the LEDs before screwing on the base.
20. Carefully tuck in the wires and align the base plate. Make sure the middle holes line up and if they don’t rotate the plate 180 degrees. Then screw in the base with 6 1/2″ screws.
All done!!!!
