Torch Maintenance
• Bend-Tech recommends the Operator keep a log of Torch consumables. Record the
lifespan of consumables as well as amperage, material thickness and type of material. A
log will help the Operator keep track of consumables and optimize their lifespan.
• When assembling the Torch it is important that all the consumables are assembled properly,
use o-ring lubricant. Apply just enough to make the o-ring shiny. Do not use grease - this
can cause uncontrolled arcing within the Torch and ultimately Torch failure.
• Keep Torch consumables clean. Remove any excess slag, dirt or grease and wipe clean
with electronic contact cleaner or hydrogen peroxide on a regular basis.
