6 – Machine Torch Setup
Disassemble the machine torch
You may need to disassemble the machine torch in order to mount it on a cutting table (see Mount the torch on page 72).
Another reason to disassemble the machine torch is to convert it from the full-length machine torch to a mini machine
torch (see
Convert a full-length machine torch to a mini machine torch on page 71).

While disconnecting and reconnecting the torch parts, maintain the same orientation
between the torch head and torch lead. Twisting the torch head in relation to the torch
lead can cause damage to the torch wires.
1. Disconnect the torch lead from the power supply, and remove the consumables from the torch.
2. Unscrew the strain relief nut from the strain relief, and slide the nut back along the torch lead.
3. If you are disassembling the full-length machine torch, unscrew the strain relief from the positioning sleeve. If you are
disassembling the mini machine torch, unscrew the strain relief from the adapter. Slide the strain relief back along the
torch lead.
