6T.01 General Maintenance
Cleaning Torch
Even if precautions are taken to use only clean
air with a torch, eventually the inside of the torch
becomes coated with residue. This buildup can
affect the arc initiation and the overall cut quality
of the torch.
WARNING
Disconnect primary power to the system be
-
fore disassembling the torch or torch leads.
DO NOT touch any internal torch parts while
the AC indicator light of the Power Source
is ON.
The inside of the torch should be cleaned with elec-
trical contact cleaner using a cotton swab or soft
wet rag. In severe cases, the torch can be removed
from the leads and cleaned more thoroughly by
pouring electrical contact cleaner into the torch and
blowing it through with compressed air.
CAUTION
Dry the torch thoroughly before reinstalling.
O-Ring Lubrication
An O-Ring on the Torch Head and ATC Male Con-
nector requires lubrication on a scheduled basis.
This will allow the o-rings to remain pliable and
provide a proper seal. The o-rings will dry out,
becoming hard and cracked if the lubricant is not
used on a regular basis. This can lead to potential
performance problems.
It is recommended to apply a very light film of o-
ring lubricant (Catalog # 8-4025) to the o-rings on
a weekly basis.
