5T.02 Inspection and Replacement of
Consumable Torch Parts
WARNING
Disconnect primary power to the system
before disassembling the torch or torch
leads.
DO NOT touch any internal torch parts
while the AC indicator light of the Power
Supply is ON.
Remove the consumable torch parts as follows:
NOTE!
The shield cup holds the tip and starter
cartridge in place. Position the torch with
the shield cup facing upward to prevent
these parts from falling out when the cup is
removed.
1. Unscrew and remove the shield cup from the
torch.
NOTE!
Slag built up on the shield cup that cannot
be removed may effect the performance of
the system.
2. Inspect the cup for damage. Wipe it clean or
replace if damaged.

Shield Cups
3. On torches with a shield cup body and a shield
cap or deflector, ensure that the cap or deflector
is threaded snugly against the shield cup body.
In shielded drag cutting operations (only), there
may be an O-Ring between the shield cup body
and drag shield cap. Do not lubricate the O-Ring.
