During bevel cutting, the torch is at an angle (not perpendicular) to
the workpiece. The torch position for XPR torches can be a range
from 0° – 52°.
6. Tighten the screws on the torch mounting bracket.
Install the consumables
Make sure that the consumables are installed correctly on the torch.
NOTICE
A LOOSE OR OVERTIGHTENED ELECTRODE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TORCH
If you do not correctly install and tighten the electrode, torch damage can occur.
A tool is necessary to correctly install and tighten the torch electrode. Do not use your hands.
Hypertherm recommends tightening the electrode to a torque value of 2.3 N∙m – 2.8 N∙m (20 lbf∙in
– 25 lbf∙in).
■
The torch head in the XPR torch-assembly kit has 460 A mild steel consumable parts installed on it.
Refer to Consumable starter kits on page 420 if necessary.

For information about how to select consumables for your cutting or marking applications, refer to the
XPR Cut Charts Instruction Manual (809830).
1. Remove the power from the cutting system:
a. Set the line-disconnect switch to the OFF position.
b. Make sure that the power-indicator LED is not illuminated on the plasma power supply or
other system components.
2. Select the best consumables for your cutting or marking application.
3. Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant to each O-ring on all consumables.
Make sure that the O-rings are shiny. However, too much lubricant can prevent gas flow. Remove
unwanted lubricant if found.
4. Remove the torch from the torch receptacle.
5. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to clean the internal and external surfaces of the torch.
