Nozzle and Front End Consumables

Remove the nozzle from the front of the neck. Remove all spatter from 

short circuit. Check all front end consumables for damage and wear. 
Replace with new if necessary.

To maintain the best performance repeatedly check and clean the front end 
consumables periodically. Also use an anti spatter spray on the consumables to 
reduce the build up of debris.

up inside the torch around the feed unit mechanism. Regularly clean 
out the torch feed unit using an air blow gun to blow out this debris.

To maintain the best operation of the torches feed mechanism clean 
out the debris daily before use at the very least.

Keep gas holes 
clear of spatter and 
debris
