Maintenance - Eastwood VERSA-CUT 40 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE

• Constantly inspect the torch nozzle for excessive erosion, molten metal accumulation 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 40 CNC Plasma Cutter torches have several consumable parts that will need to be replaced over time. If wear or slag build up is noticed
on any of the torch components, replace them immediately to avoid damage to the torch. Worn components will also contribute to poor plasma cutting and
difficult arc starting.
This plasma cutter has a blowback start, meaning the electrode and nozzle contact until air pressure separates them. The electrode is mounted onto a sprung
stem that should depress with finger pressure and spring back unassisted. If it gets stuck in either position the plasma cutter will not function correctly. It is easy
to verify this mechanism is working when swapping consumables. If service is needed, pressurized air, brushes, and rubbing alcohol or acetone based products
may be used to clean it.
See the hand torch (FIG 10) and machine torch (FIG 11) exploded view for a reference of all the components and the assembly order.
