Important
The torch must be fitted with the correct consumables, chosen according to the application and the set current. An incorrect choice of consumable will cause cutting defects, premature wear of consumables and may result in a malfunction of the entire unit.
Regularly check the wear condition of the shield cup, nozzle and electrode, or in the event of a significant reduction in cutting speed. It is advisable to replace the nozzle and electrode at the same time.
Consumables are wear items; it is important to know when to replace them. Visually: melted or damaged consumables, nozzle holes>1.5mm, worn electrodes, melted skids… Practically: loss of cutting performance, difficult arc starting on the workpiece, etc.
Regarding the nozzle: Tighten the nozzle so that all parts are securely locked. The nozzle should not rotate easily.
Use compressed air with oil and water filtration.
