Care And Maintenance; Torch Maintenance - Eastwood 58221 Assembly & Operating Instructions

CARE & MAINTENANCE
• It is extremely important that the air supply be clean and dry. A separate moisture
trap, water/oil separator or desiccant system should be used.
• The Versa-Cut Plasma Cutter has an internal, built-in "last-chance" moisture
separator with the outlet port located at the rear underside of the unit (Fig 5).
This drains automatically whenever the compressed air source is removed.
• Constantly inspect the torch nozzle for excessive erosion, molten metal accumu-
lation or burning. If damaged, it must be replaced.
• Before each use, inspect ALL electrical connections, cables, supply line, torch, air
supply, housing and controls for damage. If any damage or wear is noted,
DO NOT USE THE UNIT.
• Always store the unit in a safe, clean and dry environment.

TORCH MAINTENANCE

The Eastwood Versa-Cut 60 Plasma Cutter has several consumable parts that will need
to be replaced over time. If wear or slag build up is noticed on any of the torch compo-
nents, replace them immediately to avoid damage to the torch. Worn components will
also contribute to poor plasma cutting and difficult arc starting.
See the torch components (Fig 6) exploded view for a reference of all the components
and the assembly order.
