Maintenance<br />

5.5 Assembly of <strong>Torch</strong> Front End (for Production Thick Plate)<br />

caution<br />

Over tightened parts will be difficult to disassemble and may damage<br />

torch. Do not over tighten parts during reassembly. Threaded<br />

parts are designed to work properly when hand tightened, approximately<br />

40 to 60 inch/pounds.<br />

Reverse order of disassembly.<br />

Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to O-rings before assembling mating parts. This facilitates easy<br />

future assembly and disassembly for service.<br />

Hand-tighten threaded parts.<br />

Installing the electrode requires only moderate hand tightening. Electrode holder should always be<br />

made tighter than the electrode.<br />

<strong>Torch</strong> Body<br />

1. Replace electrode holder in torch body. Hex on the<br />

end of the electrode holder removal tool will engage<br />

in a hex in the holder.<br />

2. To replace the electrode, assemble collet, collet holder<br />

and electrode. Insert electrode assembly into the<br />

elctrode removal tool and ensure electrode makes<br />

contact with bottom of tool hole (electrode will fall<br />

into place).<br />
