PROPERLY ASSEMBLED PLASMA TORCH
Your plasma torch consumable parts will come already assembled. Plasma torch consumables will wear through
the course of normal use and need to be replaced periodically. Before each use of the plasma cutting machine, you
should check your parts for wear and replace if necessary. NOTICE: Failure to replace worn cutting tip or electrode
may damage the PLASMA TORCH. Before inspecting or replacing the consumables, make sure to read and follow
the below notes:
1. Turn the machine OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Wait for the PLASMA TORCH to cool before
disassembly.
2. Position the PLASMA TORCH with the SHIELD CUP (E) facing upward to prevent these parts from falling out.
3. Unscrew and remove the SHIELD CUP from the TORCH BODY (A).
4. Remove the CUTTING TIP (D), AIR DIFFUSER RING (C), and ELECTRODE (B).
5. Install the ELECTRODE, AIR DIFFUSER RING, and CUTTING TIP.
• Make sure all components are installed as shown above.
• Use the included wrench to tighten the ELECTRODE. A loose ELECTRODE can further loosen during
operation and damage the PLASMA TORCH.
6. Ensure the SHIELD CUP is properly seated on the TORCH BODY, not cross-threaded. Failure to do so will cause
the machine to not operate properly. Only hand-tighten the SHIELD CUP. Over-tightening can damage the
PLASMA TORCH.
If resistance is felt when installing the ELECTRODE or SHIELD CUP, check the threads before proceeding
NOTE: THE PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE PLASMA TORCH SHIELD
CUP IS FULLY SEATED AGAINST THE PINS THAT ENSURE THE CONSUMABLES ARE PROPERLY
ASSEMBLED TO THE TORCH BODY. INSPECT THESE PINS FOR DAMAGE ANYTIME THE SHIELD CUP IS
REMOVED.
USE ONLY COMPATIBLE CONSUMABLES IN YOUR PLASMA TORCH. USING INCOMPATIBLE PARTS MAY
DAMAGE YOUR PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE OR INTRODUCE A SAFETY HAZARD. SEE PAGE 24 FOR
PART NUMBERS.
