power cable and oxygen hose.  The
power cable is of sufficient size to
carry 200 amps in a power cutting
operation.  The oxygen hose comes
with a standard size oxygen fitting
and is ready to be connected to the
user's oxygen regulator.  This
standard torch comes with a flexible
hand shield that is easily replaceable
if damaged.  The SLICE Torch is
molded from a glass reinforced
thermoset plastic, which is rugged
and will withstand the punishment of
frequent everyday use.
To help reduce torch wear or damage
when piercing, an optional 6" collet
extension and 6" diameter extension
shield is available.  Also available is a
3/8" adapter kit consisting of a collet
chuck, collet nut, washer, and
flashback arrestor needed to adapt
the torch for using the 3/8" diameter
cutting rods.
To compliment the basic SLICE torch
when cutting without power a SLICE
Striker is also available.  The striker is
an insulated piece of copper plate
with a serrated surface to provide a
convenient means of igniting the
cutting rod.  By scratching the rod
against the copper plate an arc is
initiated and the cutting process
begins.  The SLICE striker also
comes standard with a 10-foot cable.

Other Equipment

SLICE Cutting Equipment is also
available in ready to go packages.
Each pack is design to fit a specific
need.  The packs give the user all the
exothermic cutting equipment he
needs to compliment his shop or
service vehicle.
These packs start with the very basic
unit that includes; torch, striker and
other support items in a handy
toolbox.  This type pack is just right
for a service truck or for the welding
jobber who has oxygen and an
ignition source available.
A complete package is also available.
The SLICE Pack Complete was
designed for use in emergencies.  All
you need for cutting is available and
ready for immediate use.  This pack
contains a 12-volt rechargeable
battery for rod ignition.  The carrying
case has a compartment for a 40-
cubic-foot oxygen bottle (supplied by
the user).
The amount of burning this unit can
do depends on the size of the oxygen
supply.   With a 40-cubic-foot oxygen
bottle 8 to 10 rods can be burned,
representing 5 to 7 minutes of cutting
time.
Other packages are also available for
both field use and inside a large
factory.  Each of these units is
designed to fit a specific need.
The Arcair Company has also
developed specialty exothermic
cutting units.  They have developed a
unit being called "PECU” or

SLICE Pack Battery Box
Assembly

Some packs include a 12-volt
rechargeable battery.  The battery
and charging circuitry are enclosed in
a protective case.  Supplied with the
battery box is a cord for recharging
from a 120-volt AC outlet.
