DO NOT use other lubricants
or greasc, thcy may not be
designed to operate within
high temperatures or may
contain "unknown elements"
that may react with the at-
mosphere. This reaction can
leave contaminants inside the
torch. Either of these condi-
tions can lead to inconsistent
performance or poor parts life.

The illustrations show
all
consumable parts for the SL60,
SL60QD™ and SLlOO torches.
Various front -end torch parts are available for different
applications.
Drag Tip Cutting: Use the single- piece shield cup for
general purpose cutting operations with the torch tip
in contact with the work (up to 60 amps). This is the
preferred method of cutting sheet metal up to 3/16" or
4.8 mm thick.
Standoff Cutting: Also usc the single- piece Shield Cup
for 'standoff' cutting (with thetorch tip 1/8" to 1/4" from
the workpicce). This is the preferred method for cutting
metal thicker than 3/16"
I
4.8 mm and at current levels
above 40 amps. This provides maximum visibility and
accessibility.
Use the Shield Cup Bodywith the Deflector Shield Cap for
extended parts life and improved resistance to reflected
heat. This combination provides cutting results similar to
the single-piece Sh:ield Cup, as well as easy change-over
to gouging or drag shield cutting.
Drag Shield Cutting: Use the Shield Cup Body with the
Drag Shield Cap for a consistent standoff distance with
the drag shield in contact with the workpiece. This is a
simple and operator-friendly method of cutting between
40 and 120 amps.
Gouging: Use the Shield Cup Body with the Gauging
Shield Cap for excellent gouging performance and en-
hanced torch parts life_
The Standoff Guide fits all shield cup designs for the SL60,
SL60QD™ and SLlOO RPT hand torches. The Guide al-
lows the user to easily adjust and maintain a consistent
standoff height for most applications. The Standoff Guidc
also fits Thermal Dynamics PCH-62 and PCH-102 hand
torches.
The electrode and starter cartridge are the same for all
applications.
Use only Genuine Thermal Dynamics consumables with
this torch. The use of any other consumables may irrepa-
rably darnage the torch and/ or void the warranty.
