4.1.5 Bevel Cutting With PT-15 Water injection Plasma Torch There are several front-end variations to bevel cutting with the PT-15XL water injection torch. The restrictive factor is the amount of standoff allowable when cutting. The shape of the standard torch front-end is blunt and not favorable to bevel cutting greater than 15 to 20 degrees. Using to bevel greater than 20 degrees (less than 20 deg. when beveling thinner materials) a risk of crashing the torch into the workpiece exists. Standard Front-End (cutaway) Beveling Front-End (cutaway) As shown, beveling with a standard torch front end at 20 degrees, the torch is close to crashing into the workpiece. The actual clearance is dependant on the arc voltage being used. Increasing the arc voltage beyond recommended amounts to achieve nozzle retainer clearance is possible but not recommended. Sacrificing cut quality and consumable life and in extreme cases, damage to the torch body could result. Note how the beveling front-end has plenty of clearance. 20 Degree beveling At 35 degrees, the standard front-end will crash into the workpiece as the control tries to maintain the specified arc voltage. 35 Degree beveling PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-11

See Air Curtain Manual, P/N F15-189 for instructions. 4-12 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

4.2 Fume and Noise Reduction Under water cutting can substantially reduce fumes and noise. If cutting with N 2, immerse the top of the workpiece under 2 to 3 inches of water. Materials up to 1 inch thick can generally be cut underwater with only slight reductions in speed and cut quality. However, materials thicker than 1 inch up to 3 inches,cut quality and cutting speed are substantially reduced. Cutting plates thicker than 3 inches underwater is not recommended.! WARNING Explosion Hazard. Do Not Cut Underwater With H-35! Dangerous buildup of hydrogen gas is possible in the water table. Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Reduce the water level to 4 inches minimum below the workpiece. Vibrate plate, stir air and water frequently to prevent hydrogen gas buildup. See F14373 Hydrogen Explosion Hazard Underwater cutting with O 2 requires the use of an air curtain or and bubble muffler. 4.2.1 Noise and Fume Reduction Aids A. B. A. Air Curtain. The air curtain directs a flow of air around the arc, which permits underwater cutting with O 2 gas. See form number F-15-189 for details B. Bubble Muffler. This device traps a bubble of air around the arc using water recirculated from the water table. This allows the use of O 2 under water. The water flow acts as a shield to block radiation and traps fumes so that protection also exists when cutting above water. See form number F-15-127 for details. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-13

4.3 Cut Quality 4.3.1 Introduction Causes affecting cut quality are interdependent. Changing one variable affects all others. Determining a solution may be difficult. The following guide offers possible solutions to undesirable cutting results. To begin select the most prominent condition: 4.3.2 Cut angle, negative or positive 4.3.3 Cut not flat, rounded or undercut 4.3.4 Surface roughness 4.3.5 Dross Usually the recommended cutting parameters will give optimal cut quality. Occasionally conditions may vary and slight adjustments will be required. If so: Make small incremental adjustments when making corrections. Adjust arc voltage in one volt increments, up or down as required. Adjust cutting speed 5% or less as required, until conditions improve. NOTICE NOTICE Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting variables with the factory recommended settings/consumable part numbers listed in Process Data. Some cut qualities are the natural result of torch type and gas selection. Cutting underwater will also affect the cut face. When attempting to maximize cut quality, consider all variables. 4-14 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

4.3.2 Cut Angle Negative Cut Angle Top dimension is greater than the bottom. Part Misaligned torch Bent or warped material Worn or damaged consumables Standoff low (arc voltage) Cutting speed slow (machine travel rate) Drop Part Part Positive Cut Angle Top dimension is less than the bottom dimension. Misaligned torch Bent or warped material Worn or damaged consumables High standoff high (arc voltage) Cutting speed fast Current high or low. (See process data for recommended current level for specific nozzles). Drop Part PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-15

4.3.3 Cut Flatness Top And Bottom Rounded Condition usually occurs when material is 0.25" thick (6,4mm) or less. High current for given material thickness (See process data for proper settings). Drop Part Top Edge Undercut Standoff low (arc voltage) Drop Part 4-16 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

4.3.4 Surface Finish Process Induced Roughness Cut face is consistently rough and may be confined to one axis. Feed rate too slow when cutting with O 2 Top View Worn or damaged consumables Too high O 2 flow Cut Face or Process Induced Roughness Machine Induced Roughness Machine Induced Roughness Can be difficult to distinguish from process induced roughness and is often confined to one axis. Roughness is inconsistent. Dirty rails, wheels and/or drive rack/pinion. (Refer to maintenance section in machine owner s manual). Carriage wheel adjustment PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-17

4.3.5 Dross Dross is a by-product of the cutting process. It is the undesirable material that remains attached to the part. In most cases, dross can be reduced or eliminated with proper torch and cutting parameter setup. Refer to Process Data. Dross is more difficult to eliminate when: at the upper limit of the thickness range for a given current using gases other than O 2 cutting plate with plate chemistries Lag Lines Cut Face Rollover High Speed Dross Material weld or rollover on bottom surface along kerf. Difficult to remove. May require grinding or chipping. S shaped lag lines. Standoff high (arc voltage) Cutting speed fast Side View Lag Lines Cut Face Globules Slow Speed Dross Forms as globules on bottom along kerf. Removes easily. Cutting speed slow Will always appear in corners due to cutting machine deceleration. Side View 4-18 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

Side View Splatter Top Dross Appears as splatter on top of material. Usually removes easily. Cut Face Cutting speed fast Standoff high (arc voltage). Cut water flow too high Intermittent Dross Appears on top or bottom along kerf. Non-continuous. Can appear as any kind of dross Possible worn consumables Other Factors Affecting Dross: Material temperature Heavy mill scale or rust High carbon alloys Plate chemistry Material thickness Paint and primers Cut gas used PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-19

4.3.6 Dimensional Accuracy NOTICE Generally, using the slowest possible speed (within approved levels) will optimize part accuracy. Most material thickness overlap for different voltages. Select consumables to allow a lower arc voltage and slower cutting speed. Recommended cutting speed and arc voltage will give optimal cutting performance. Small incremental adjustments may be needed due to material quality, material temperature and specific alloy. The operator should remember that all cutting variables are interdependent. Changing one setting affects all others and cut quality could deteriorate. Always start at the recommended settings. Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting variables with the factory recommended settings/ consumable part numbers listed in the process data. 4-20 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

4.5 Influence of Gas Options on Cut Quality 4.5.1 Introduction All gases are not suitable for all situations. Certain gases assist in cutting specific materials and thickness. The following explains why certain gases are selected and their influence on the finished part. Other influences such as arc voltage and gas flow/pressure are covered in the process data.! DANGER Hydrogen explosion hazard. Do not cut under water with Hydrogen gas! Hydrogen explosions can cause personal injury or death. Hydrogen can create explosive gas pockets in the water table. These pockets will explode when ignited by sparks or the plasma arc. Before cutting, be aware of possible hydrogen sources in the water table molten metal reaction, slow chemical reaction and some plasma gases. Explosive gas pockets accumulate underneath the cutting plate and inside the water table. Clean slag (especially fine particles) from bottom of table frequently. Refill table with clean water. Do not leave plate on table overnight. If water table has not been used for several hours, vibrate or jolt it to break up hydrogen pockets before laying plate on the table. If possible, change water level between cuts to break up hydrogen pockets. Maintain water ph level near 7 (neutral). Programmed part spacing should be a minimum of twice the kerf width to ensure material is always under the kerf. When cutting above water, use fans to circulate air between plate and water surface. Allow a minimum of 4 inches of clearance between workpiece and water level when cutting above water. 4-22 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

WARNING Explosion Hazard Avoid hydrogen gas buildup in the water table Do not cut under water using H-35 Maintain a minimum of 2 inches clearance between bottom of workpiece and table water level Circulate air in this clearance space to prevent pockets of gas buildup Vibrate plate periodically Keep small material particles from accumulating in bottom of water table, especially aluminum. See F14373 Hydrogen Explosion Hazard for complete details. Material Thickness: 3.00 to 6.00 inches Cut Qualities: Smooth cut face Dross should be expected in 4.00 and above Start Gas: Plasma: Shield: N 2 H-35 (65% Argon and 35% Hydrogen) Water Discussion: Shorter consumable life than with other gas choices Can not cut under water or with bubble/water muffler Top edge rounding can be minimized with slight voltage adjustment Water level must be kept a minimum of 2 inches below workpiece to minimize possible hydrogen gas buildup PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-27

4.6 Process Data 4.6.1 Introduction The following information is a general guide for setting up and cutting with a PT-15XL water injection plasma cutting torch. The machine s CNC (Vision Control) manages gas flow using Smart Flow II, a proportional valve flow control system. In most cases these settings will provide a quality cut. The data contains values for: cutting aluminum, carbon and stainless steel arc voltage (standoff) cutting speed current (amperes) pressure for start gas, cut gas, start water and cut water This same data is contained in SDP files. The Vision CNC allows the user to store multiple process parameter files. The files, called SDP files, (SchneidDatenPaket = Cutting Data Package), contain all of the same information that can be manually adjusted on the process parameter CNC screen. (See your machine and programming manuals for more information on SDP files.) Also included is information on consumable part numbers for most current settings. 4-28 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

NOTICE Speed, voltage, kerf, and current can be used any time for a PT-15XL torch application. Process data was derived using the Smart Flow II, a programmable gas flow control. This same information is used in creating Vision CNC process control (SDP) files. Gas and water pressure rates are given for reference when using Smart Flow II. Speed, arc voltage, kerf, and current (amperes) remain applicable when cutting with manual gas regulation systems. NOTICE Underwater Cutting Speeds Must Slowed by 10% to maintain the same quality. As a general rule, above water cutting speeds can be applied to underwater cutting by reducing speeds by 10%. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 4-29

SECTION 5! WARNING Electric Shock Can Kill! MAINTENANCE Before performing torch maintenance: Turn power switch of the power source console to the OFF position Disconnect primary input power. 5.1 Introduction Wear on torch parts is a normal occurrence to plasma cutting. Starting a plasma arc is an erosive process to both the electrode and nozzle. Regularly scheduled inspection and replacement of PT-15XL parts must take place to maintain cut quality and consistent part size. 5.2 Torch Body 5.2.1 O-Rings and their inspection schedules 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Good condition O-Rings and O-Ring seats are critical to successful PT-15XL cutting (as they are with any torch). Certain O-rings are subject to more wear than others Keep O-rings and surfaces clean. Dirt may prevent gas or water tight sealing. Inspect O-rings as required. Replace if damaged or worn. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease, P/N 77500101 to O-rings before assembling torch. This facilitates easy future assembly and disassembly for service. See Replacement Part Section for crossreferenced sizes. 1 P/N 86W85 (inspect during disassembly) 2 P/N 996528 (inspect daily) 3 P/N 2064106 (inspect during disassembly) 4 P/N 86W99 (inspect daily) 5 P/N 996528 (inspect daily) 6 Not servicable 7 P/N 996527(inspect daily) PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-1

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.2.2 Contact Ring Keep electrical contract ring free of grease and dirt. Inspect ring when changing nozzle. Clean with cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.! WARNING Hot Torch Will Burn Skin! Allow torch to cool before servicing. 5.3 Torch Front End Disassembly 5.3.1 Nozzle Retaining Cup and Nozzle 1. Unscrew nozzle retaining cup form the torch. Clean threads on cup and body if required. Dirt may cause thread damage or cross threading. 2. Inspect rubber gasket (P/N 996628) on front of nozzle for dirt, nicks and cuts. Replace if necessary. 3. Inspect nozzle retainer mating surface on the inside lip for dirt, gouges and scratches. Replace if necessary. 4. Inspect nozzle for nicks, cracks, scratches and plugged holes. Replace if any are found. Note: Follow instructions for assembly procedures. 5-2 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5! CAUTION MAINTENANCE Dirty Threads May Prevent Proper Torch Assembly If nozzle retainer and torch body threads are not kept clean, incorrect assembly of torch front-end may cause: Leaking torch poor consumable performance catastrophic failure of torch. Keep these threads clean and follow torch assembly procedures. Occasionally spray a thin coating of commercially available silicone on the threads to enable easy disassembly of retainer cup. 5. To remove nozzle using slotted tubular tool (P/N 999630) insert over nozzle. Lightly tighten clamping bolt if necessary. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Pull nozzle straight out of torch. Handle the nozzle carefully to avoid damage. Inspect nozzle for: chips cracks plugged holes. Check copper nozzle base for: melting from excessive current gouges from internal arcing particles in the throat. Replace if any of these conditions are found. White Hf-O 2 deposits are normal on oxygen nozzles. See replacement parts or cutting data for part numbers. Inspect gasket for: dirt wear splitting. Replace if required. P/N 996628. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-3

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 6. After removal of nozzle, inspect nozzle o-ring for nicks, dirt, and scratches. Replace if any damage is found. Use a toothpick, fingernail or other non-marring instrument to aid in removal of this o-ring Nozzle O-Ring P/N 996527 Important Note: This o-ring seal s cutwater from the arc chamber. If this area leaks, arcing will occur inside the torch, degrading cut quality, consumable performance, and may damage the torch. 5.3.2 Replacing Electrode Remove nozzle retainer and nozzle as described. Recommend installing Insulator Retainer (P/N 33768) to keep torch seals tight. (The o-ring between insulator and torch body may not seal well if dirt particles are allowed to contaminate contact area.) Insulator Retainer 5-4 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE Electrode without holder Remove electrode using electrode nut driver (7/16) tool (P/N 996568) The electrode should unscrew without being attached to the electrode holder as shown. Electrode Nut Driver If the electrode holder comes out with the electrode, Slide the gas baffle off the electrode holder. Handling carefully, inspect baffle for cracks and wear. Replace if necessary. Set aside. Loosen the electrode using the electrode nut driver and an adjustable wrench across the machined flats on the holder. Rotate electrode counter-clockwise. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-5

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE Starting a plasma arc is an erosive process. The photo at the left shows an electrode with normal wear. Replace a nitrogen or H-35 electrode if the center is pitted more than 0.030 " (0.7 mm) deep. Cracks in the insert are normal and do not affect performance. An oxygen electrode insert is made from a different material. Replace an oxygen insert when pitted more than 0.09 " (2.29 mm) deep or if the pitting is more than 0.12 " (3.05 mm) in diameter. 4 5. 1 1 2 Inspect O-ring 1 in the electrode holder that seals the threaded end of the electrode. Use a toothpick or other non-marring tool to assist in removal. Look for nicks, scratches, dirt and wear. Replace if damaged. 6 3 1 Electrode O-Ring P/N 86W99 2 Gas Baffle (Reference) 3 Electrode (Reference) 4 Electrode Holder (Reference) 5 Insulator Assembly (Reference) 6 Nozzle Assembly (Reference) When installing the electrode, tighten snuggly, with sufficient force to create a water seal on the electrode O-ring. Do not over tighten. 5-6 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.3.3 Replacing Electrode Holder Removing the electrode exposes 2 notches in the electrode holder. Holder Notches Match lugs of the removal tool (P/N 999630) with notches in the electrode holder. Rotate counterclockwise. Removal Lugs NOTE: The electrode holder is manufactured in two pieces and silver soldered together. Do not attempt to disassemble. If the holder is damaged, replace the holder assembly, N 2 -- P/N 2075343 or O 2 P/N 20398 5.3.4 Gas Swirl Baffle The Ceramic Gas Swirl Baffle is somewhat fragile. Handle With Care. Avoid dropping. Remove the gas baffle from the insulator with one finger if it does not come out with the electrode holder. Inspect for cracks and chipping. Replace if damaged. See Installation Section 3 for part numbers. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-7

SECTION 5 5.3.5 Insulator Body MAINTENANCE The plastic insulator body should be removed periodically to inspect for cracking and possible replacement of O-rings. Remove all front-end parts previously described including the electrode holder. If an insulator retainer had been previously installed, remove this device also. Pull insulator body straight out. Note: Because the pilot arc cable is still attached, the amount of movement will be restricted. Inspect O-Rings for nicks and cuts. Replace as needed. Pilot arc set screw Contact ring screw Replace the insulator body if damaged. Disconnect the pilot arc cable by loosening the setscrew at the contact ring assembly with the 1/16" internal hex wrench (Allen type) supplied with the torch. Remove the contact ring assembly with a 7/64" internal hex wrench (not supplied). Reassemble in reverse order. Align the insulator body with the locating pin. Lubricate with a thin film of silicone grease (P/N 77500101) 5-8 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5 CAUTION Always handle torch body and consumables with clean hands. MAINTENANCE 5.4 Reassembly of Torch Front-end Reassemble the gas swirl baffle over the electrode holder. Orient the swirl baffle so the swirl holes will be extended beyond the holder body. It is possible to assemble these two pieces wrong but impossible to install the electrode holder if the baffle is not oriented correctly. (The holder threads will not engage). Apply grease in this area. After the baffle is properly installed on the holder, apply a thin film of silicone grease in area shown. This is to assist in sealing the gas flow chamber from the coolant flow ports. Avoid silicone grease on the gas baffle. Tighten the holder/baffle in the torch body by engaging the lugs of the nozzle/holder removal tool in the slots of the electrode holder. Rotate clockwise until hand tight. Do not over-tighten. Reverse order of disassembly. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease, P/N 77500101 to O-rings before assembling mating parts. This will facilitate disassembly in the future. Hand-tighten threaded parts. Do not over tighten. Parts are designed to work when tightened 40 to 60 inch pounds. Installing the electrode requires only moderate hand tightening. Electrode holder should always be made tighter than the electrode. NOTE: When assembling, place the nozzle inside the nozzle retainer and thread the retainer/nozzle combination on the torch body. This will help align the nozzle with the assembly. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-9

SECTION 5 CAUTION MAINTENANCE Over tightened Parts Will Be Difficult To Disassemble And May Damage Torch. Do not over tighten parts during reassembly. Threaded parts are designed to work properly when hand tightened, approximately 40 to 60 inch/pounds NOTE: Check all O-rings for nicks or other damage that might prevent O-ring forming a gas/water tight seal. 5.5 Two Piece Nozzle Maintenance 5.5.1 Nitrogen and Argon/Hydrogen Nozzle Assembly High Current Nozzle 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 Insulator (see below for P/N) 2 Gasket P/N 996628 3 Spacer P/N 996619 4 Centering Sleeve P/N 996618 5 Water Swirl (s) P/N 2075584, (rev) P/N 2075616 6 Nozzle Base (see below for P/N) 1. To disassemble an XR nozzle assembly, pry off the centering sleeve (996618) using a small screwdriver between the sleeve and nozzle body. Replace the parts shown in figure 2 if necessary. 2. Replace the ceramic insulator if it is cracked. Check the orifice diameter of the replacement insulator. It should be 0.015 to 0.030-in. larger than the nozzle body orifice. (See table below) 3. In some locations, deposits left by evaporated hard water may build up on the nozzle orifice tip. Carefully remove the deposit using a small brush or drill bit. If using a drill bit, insert carefully and push it back and forth. Do NOT twist the drill bit. This action may tend to remove base material. 4. To reassemble the nozzle assembly, snap the centering sleeve onto the copper nozzle body (bevel facing away from body). Insert the nylon spacer. 5. Oxygen nozzles P/N s 20751 & 20920 are one piece nozzles and do not come apart. They must be replaced as complete units.

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.5.2 Oxygen Nozzle Repair Two piece oxygen nozzles P/N s 21206B & 21207B have a replaceable ceramic insulator P/N 21193. Pry along the outside of the white ceramic to remove it. To install a new insulator, lubricate the red o-ring with silicone grease and push the insulator on with a twisting motion. Cleaning of oxygen nozzles: As the electrode wears, deposits of hafnium oxide and silver can build up in the nozzle. Calcium carbonate can build up in the nozzle exit if the cutwater is not adequately treated. These deposits sometimes cause substantial reductions in cut quality, speed, and consumable life. Removing these deposits from the inside of the nozzle and the nozzle exit can restore nozzle performance. A twisted piece of sandpaper or crocus cloth usually cleans the nozzle well enough. Care must be taken not to damage the thin copper edge at the nozzle exit. The 340 AMP nozzles P/Ns 35664 & 35665 have a heavier, less easily damaged exit as compared to the 260 AMP and 300 AMP nozzles. Note that nicks or elongation of the orifice due to double arcs or mechanic damage also degrades nozzle performance. Cleaning will not restore performance to a damaged nozzle. Whenever a nozzle is removed for cleaning, the electrode should be inspected. If wear is greater than.090 inches or very irregular, the electrode should be replaced.

SECTION 5! DANGER Electric Shock Can Kill! MAINTENANCE Disconnect primary power source before servicing torch. Do not touch front-end torch parts (nozzle, shield retaining cup, etc.) without turning primary power off. 5.6 Replacing Cables and Hoses Unscrew the insulator sleeve (P/N 37064) from the stainless steel body. 5-12 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE Disconnect the two power cables, water injection hose, and the gas hose at the back end of the torch. Identifying Torch Body Connections: Gas connection is smaller in diameter and one of the taller tubes. It requires a 7/16" wrench. Cooling water IN has left-handed threads (note the notch in the hex of the tube) and is one of the short tubes. It requires a 1/2 " wrench. Cooling water OUT is the other short tube and has right-hand threads. It requires a 1/2" wrench. Cutwater connection (also known as the water injection tube) is the larger of the two longer tubes. It also requires a 1/2" wrench. Note: Torch current is carried in cables inside the cooling water hoses. The cables can be seen inside the hoses. These 2 cooling water hoses (IN and OUT) carry the same part number, but they differ by reversing the ends. One hose has both a right handed and left-handed fitting. PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch 5-13

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE Pilot Arc Connection Insulator (P/N 20409) Set Screw Pilot Arc Cable Connector (P/N 20408) Set Screw 1. Pilot arc cable (20760) is attached to a connector (20408) under a H.F. Connection Insulator (20409). Remove tape that secures the positioning of this insulator and slide it up the pilot arc cable. Pilot Arc Cable Contact Ring Cable Connector 2. Loosen set screw with 1/16" internal hex (Allen type) wrench to remove cable from connector. A 12" long, 14 GA. copper wire is connected to the contact ring assembly and to this connector. 3. Straighten out all cables and hoses and make sure the torch sleeve is straight when screwing it back onto the torch body. Fine threads are easy to cross thread. Do not force the sleeve. A small amount of silicone lubricant will help. 4. Make sure the boot hose (996647) is secured to protect the service lines from arc radiation and sparks when the torch is ready to operate. 5. Make sure the service lines are well out of the way. 5-14 PT-15XL Plasmarc Cutting Torch

SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.7 Reassembling Torch to Hoses/Cable Bundle Pilot Arc Cable Cooling Water/ Plasma Gas Connections Gas Connections Torch Body Cut Water 1. Unscrew the PT-15XL torch sleeve and slide it on the torch bundle until the pilot arc connection point is exposed. NOTE: It will be necessary to slide the outer sleeve of the torch bundle toward the power source to expose the pilot arc connection. 2. Connect gas and cutwater fittings. To prevent cross attachment, the cut gas fitting is smaller in diameter than the shield gas fitting. 7/16 and ½ wrenches are needed. NOTE: It is possible to cross one of the cooling water connections with one of the gas connections. Each cooling water hose has a cable inside for carrying current. 3. Connect the cooling water IN (left-hand threads) and cooling water OUT (right-hand threads) hoses to torch body. A ½ open end wrench is required. NOTE: Coolant hoses (IN and OUT) are the same part number. The assembly requires two. The hoses are designed with a right hand threaded nut on one end and a left hand threaded nut on the other. Reverse one hose end-for-end to make the proper connections. H.F. Connection Insulator H.F. Cable NOTE: The cooling water tubes are shorter than the gas and cut water tube. 4.

SECTION 6 6.1 Reduced Consumable Life Cutting Up Skeletons Troubleshooting Cutting skeletons (discarded material left after all pieces have been removed from a plate). Their removal from the table can adversely affect electrode life by: Causing the torch to run off the work. Continuous pilot Arc edge starts Greatly increasing the start frequency. This is mainly a problem for O 2 cutting and can be alleviated by choosing a path with a minimum number of starts. Increasing likelihood that the plate will spring up against the nozzle causing a double arc. This can be mitigated by careful operator attention and by increasing standoff and reducing cutting speeds. If possible, use a gas torch for skeleton cutting. Height Control Problems Torch diving is usually caused by a change in arc voltage when an automatic height control is used. The voltage change is usually the result of plate falling away from the arc. Disabling the height control and extinguishing the arc earlier when finishing the cut on a falling plate can effectively eliminate these problems. Diving can also be caused by a faulty height control. Piercing Standoff Too Low Starting on edges with continuous pilot arc Work Flipping Catching on Pierce Spatter Pierce not complete before starting Increase pierce standoff. Position torch more carefully or start on adjacent scrap material. The nozzle may be damaged if the torch hits a flipped up part. Increase standoff or start with longer lead-in Increase initial delay time.
