Installing or Removing Torch Consumables
Turn off the plasma power supply before continuing with this procedure.
Note: When installing the consumables, do not use an excessive
amount of o-ring lubricant. Also ensure that the lubricant is placed
only on the o-rings. Excess lubricant can interfere with gas flow,
which can cause starting problems, poor cut quality, and short
consumable life.
Note: Do not over tighten the consumables! Only tighten until the
parts are seated properly.
1. Unthread the quick-disconnect torch head from the torch base by
turning the attachment ring to the RIGHT.
2. Remove the outer retaining cap from the torch head.
3. Remove the inner retaining cap from the torch head.
4. Separate the shield cap from either the inner retaining cap or the outer
retaining cap.
5. Use the nozzle removal tool (P/N 277056) to remove the nozzle from
the torch head. To do this, insert the tool into the groove on the nozzle
and hold the tool/nozzle in the palm of your hand. Pull both hands
apart using a linear motion as in the left image below. Do not use a
prying or bending motion as in the right image below.
