  • Page 152 SECTION 5 Maintenance NOTE: If the console is on, the pump will be running and coolant pressure behind the retainer will prevent it from turning freely. Check the console before attempting to remove the nut. Notice that a small amount of coolant is lost each time consumables are removed.
  • Page 153 SECTION 5 Maintenance 4. Unscrew the nozzle retainer/diffuser. Inspect for damage, especially where the retainer contacts the nozzle. The surface between the retainer and Nozzle nozzle create a metal to metal seal for the coolant. Any damage to this sealing surface will cause a leak resulting in poor cutting.
  • Page 154 SECTION 5 Maintenance 6. Remove the swirl baffle from the nozzle. If the baffle remains in the torch, it will come free when removing the electrode. Check the small gas passages of the swirl baffle for blockage and clear blockages with an air stream. If blockages cannot be cleared, replace baffle.
