3. Disconnect the wires for the cap-sensor switch at the connector in the middle.
4. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a 6 mm (1/4 inch) nut driver (or adjustable wrench) to remove the screw and nut
that secure the torch’s power cable to the plunger. (Turn the plunger if necessary to gain access to the screw.)
5. Use 6 mm (1/4 inch) and 10 mm (3/8 inch) or adjustable wrenches to loosen the nut that secures the gas supply
line to the torch lead. Set the torch body aside.
Note: Cover the end of the gas line on the torch lead with tape to keep dirt and other contaminants from getting
in the gas line when you route the lead through the track.
6. Route the torch lead through the cutting table’s track.
7. Reattach the torch’s power cable to the torch plunger using the screw and nut. Rotate the plunger so that the
screw does not interfere with the cap-sensor switch.
8. Reconnect the gas line to the torch lead.
9. Press the two halves of the cap-sensor switch’s wire connector together.
10. Slide the positioning sleeve over the torch body and check the alignment of the screw holes. Replace the three
screws at each end.
