4.0 cutting with the PT-37

Use the following procedures to cut with the PT-37 torch.

1. Make sure that the wall disconnect switch is on. Turn on the Power Switch to the cutting power source

console.

2. Set Pressure Regulator to 80 psig (5.5 bar).

3. Adjust torch standoff to required initial / piercing height.

Note:

Torch damage and overheating can be

caused by loose parts. Arc tracking indi-

cates loose parts. Make sure retaining cup

is tightened fully. Parts damaged by arcing

will cause destruction of torch and must

be replaced.

Note:

Firm tightening of the electrode by hand is

sufficient, the use of tools such as wrench-

es or pliers is not required or

recommended.

Note:

Ensure that the electrode/torch body seat

and piston are clean and free of dust or

dirt. Debris may prevent mating surfaces

from having solid contact.

4.1 Installing consumables

Tests have shown that with proper use of the torch within rated operating conditions (especially arc current and

gas flow rate), the torch consumable parts do not become loose if they are firmly installed. Torch damage and

overheating can be caused by loose parts.

A. Tighten electrode and retaining/shield cup fully at each consumable change or inspection.

B. Check consumable tightness at beginning of each work period, even if everything was working normally at

the end of the previous period.
