TORCH SETUP
powermax 65/85 Operator Manual 3-11
Mount the torch
Depending on the type of cutting table you have, you may or may not need to disassemble the
torch to route it through the track and mount it. If your cutting table’s track is large enough for you
to thread the torch through it without removing the torch body from the lead, do so and then attach
the torch to the lifter per the manufacturer’s instructions.
ote:N The Duramax machine torches can be mounted on a wide variety of X-Y tables, track
burners, pipe bevelers, and other equipment. Install the torch per the manufacturer’s
instructions and follow the instructions below for disassembly if necessary.
If you need to disassemble and reassemble the torch, refer to the figures in the section “Machine
torch setup” on page 3-8 and follow these instructions.
ote:N While disconnecting and reconnecting the torch parts, maintain the same orientation
between the torch head and torch lead. Twisting the torch head in relation to the torch
lead can cause damage.
1. Disconnect the torch lead from the power supply and remove the consumables from the torch.
2. Unscrew the strain relief body from the strain relief nut and slide the strain relief body back
along the torch lead.
3. Unscrew the strain relief nut from the positioning sleeve (full-length machine torch) and slide
the nut back along the torch lead.
4. Unscrew the positioning sleeve from the coupler.
5. Unscrew the coupler from the mounting sleeve.
6. Remove the three screws from the consumables end of the mounting sleeve and slide the
mounting sleeve off the front of the torch body.
