Cartridge maintenance
To help keep a cartridge operating correctly, do the following. For information on cartridge life, refer
to Signs that a cartridge is near end-of-life on page 74.
Carefully remove molten metal that collects in
the castellations of drag-cutting cartridges. Do
not push the unwanted material inside the
nozzle or shield.
Carefully remove molten metal that causes a
blockage of the airflow holes in the shield. Do
not push the unwanted material inside the
nozzle or shield.
Examine the O-ring on the torch body. If the
O-ring is cracked or worn, replace it. If the
O-ring is dry, or if it is not easy to install the
cartridge, apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant
on the O-ring and the threads. Make sure that
the O-ring is shiny, but do not apply too much lubricant.
