Cleaning the one-piece torch
CAUTION! Breakage of glass!
Wear glass handling gloves when you pull the quartz torch from the white holder. You will have
a better grip on the quartz torch and minimize the risk of injury due in case of breakage of glass!
CAUTION! Risk of burns!
Plasma is extremely hot. Wait for approx. 5 min after extinguishing the plasma before you
dismantle the torch!
The torch must be cleaned in case of visible soiling.
1. Pull out the spring bolt at the height adjustment and allow the carriage with the torch on
the adjusting rail to slide carefully down.
2. Remove the fork clamp and take off the spray chamber.
Carefully place the spray chamber to one side.
3. Unscrew the torch from the carriage (see the section "Cleaning the demountable torch"
p. 46).
4. Unscrew the clamp screw from the torch
holder.
5. Unscrew the stopper from the gas connection.
