3.01 Introduction
This section describes installation of the Torch. These

only; installation procedures for the Power Supply, Op-
tions and Accessories are given in Manuals specifically
provided for those parts.
The complete installation consists of:
• Site Selection
• Unpacking
• Setting Up Torch
• Connecting Torch
• Gas Connection
3.02 Site Location
Select a clean, dry location with good ventilation and ad-
equate working space around all components.
Review the safety precautions in the front of this manual
to be sure that the location meets all safety requirements.
3.03 Unpacking
Each component of the system is packaged and protected
with a carton and packing material to prevent damage
during shipping.
1. Unpack each item and remove all packing material.
2. Locate the packing list(s) and use the list to identify
and account for each item.
3. Inspect each item for possible shipping damage. If
damage is evident, contact your distributor and/or
shipping company before proceeding with system
installation.
3.04 Setting Up Machine Torch
WARNING
Disconnect primary power at the source before dis-
assembling the torch or torch leads.
The standard machine torch includes a fiberglass posi-
tioning tube with rack and pinch block assembly. A metal
mounting tube with rack & pinion assembly or the pin-
ion assembly only are available as options.
1. Mount the torch assembly on the cutting table.
2. To obtain a clean vertical cut, use a square to align
the torch perpendicular to the surface of the
workpiece.
