Torch Alignment
Prior to cutting with the machine torch, ensure that the torch is at right angles to the workpiece to get a clean,
vertical cut. Use a square to align the torch. The torch should be aligned at 0° and 90° (Figure 4-20).

Mounting the Machine Torch
1. Loosen Securing screw(s) and install the machine torch (with torch leads attached) in the torch mounting
bracket or the torch mounting subassembly if IHS is used. See Figure 4-19 for torch mounting bracket with
IHS, and Figure 4-20 for torch mounting bracket without IHS.
2. Position the torch until the torch body extends all the way through the bracket, so that the bracket is now
around the plastic Torch sleeve and not touching the stainless steel torch body. Position the torch
approximately .25 " (6mm) from the work surface.
3. Tighten the securing screw(s). Final adjustment of the torch height is detailed in Section 5: Post-
Installation.
