Maintenance<br />
4. Unscrew nozzle retainer and pull nozzle straight out of torch body. Inspect insulator portion of the nozzle<br />
retainer for cracks or chipping. Replace if damaged.<br />
Inspect nozzle for:<br />
• melting or excessive current transfer.<br />
• gouges from internal arcing.<br />
• nicks or deep scratches on the O-ring<br />
seating surfaces.<br />
• O-ring cuts, nicks, or wear.<br />
• Remove tungsten particles (from the<br />
nozzle) with steel wool.<br />

NOTE:<br />
Discoloration of internal surfaces and small black starting marks are normal and do not effect cutting<br />
performance.<br />
If the holder was tightened sufficiently, the electrode may unscrew without being attached to the electrode<br />
holder. When installing the electrode, use only sufficient force to adequately secure the electrode.<br />
5. Remove electrode using electrode removal tool.<br />
6. Disassemble electrode from electrode holder. Insert flats on the holder into a 5/16" wrench. Using the electrode<br />
tool, rotate electrode counter-clockwise to remove. Replace electrode if center is pitted more than<br />
0.06" (1/16") or if the flat has become irregular in shape or is worn to a larger diameter.<br />

Note:<br />
The electrode has two usable ends. When<br />
one end is worn, flip electrode to other end<br />
for continued use.<br />
