2.1 GENERAL
Make sure power switch on console is in the
"OFF" position and primary input power is
deenergized.
2.2 ASSEMBLY
Install PT-27 front end parts as shown in Figure 2-1.
The torch head contains a gas flow check valve that acts in conjunction with circuitry within the power
source. This system prevents the torch from being energized with high voltage if the torch switch is acci-
dentally closed when the shield is removed. ALWAYS REPLACE TORCH WITH THE PROPER TORCH MANU-
FACTURED BY ESAB SINCE IT ALONE CONTAINS ESAB'S PATENTED SAFETY INTERLOCK.
