Operation
Torch maintenance
Poor cut quality and premature failure may occur if the torch is not maintained properly.
The torch is manufactured to very tight tolerances to maximize cut quality. The torch should not be subjected to hard
impacts that can cause critical features to become misaligned.
The torch should be stored in a clean location when not in use, to avoid contamination of critical surfaces and passages.
Routine maintenance
The following steps should be completed each time consumables are changed:
1. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the torch inside and outside. A cotton swab can be used
to access hard-to-reach internal surfaces.
2. Use compressed air to blow away any remaining dirt and debris from internal and
external surfaces.
3. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant on each external o-ring. The o-rings should look
shiny, but there should not be any excess or built-up lubricant.
4. If consumables will be reused, use a clean cloth to wipe them off, and use compressed
air to blow them off before they are installed again. This is especially critical for the nozzle retaining cap.
Quick-disconnect maintenance
The following steps should be completed every 5–10
times consumables are changed:
1. Remove the torch from the quick-disconnect
assembly.
2. Use compressed air to blow off all internal surfaces
and the external threads.
3. Use compressed air to blow off all internal surfaces
at the rear of the torch.
4. Inspect each of the 4 o-rings at the rear of the torch
and the o-ring on the quick-disconnect receptacle
for damage. Replace any damaged o-rings. If they
are not damaged, apply a thin film of silicone
lubricant on each o-ring. The o-rings should look
shiny, but there should not be any excess or built-up
lubricant.
Maintenance kit
Even with proper care, the o-rings at the rear of the torch will need to be replaced periodically. Hypertherm provides a
quick-disconnect torch maintenance kit (228780) with replacement parts. The kit should be kept in stock and be used as
part of your routine maintenance schedule. The straight torch and the hand torches only have two replaceable o-rings.
