7.1 Setting up the torch body
CAUTION
Risk of injury and device damage as a result of improper operation
Non-observance can result in injuries and device damage.
• A loose protective cap presents a hazard and can lead to increased insulator, electrode
and swirl ring wear or even to destruction of the torch body.
• A dirty protective cap in the area of the interior air guide and soiled swirl ring holes
reduce the air throughput and the cooling. This increases the wear to the insulator,
electrode, and swirl ring and can destroy the torch body.
• Replace a worn-out spatter protector if required.
WARNING
Risk of injury and device damage as a result of improper operation
Non-observance can result in injuries and device damage.
• In the case of a split protective cap, the cap body and spatter protector make up one
functional unit.
• For safety reasons, do not use the plasma cutting torch equipped with the cap body
without a spatter protector.
• Switch off the plasma power source when replacing wear parts.
NOTICE
• Always ensure that the protective cap and all wear parts are clean and securely attached.
• The plasma cutting torches are equipped with a safety shut-off mechanism for the
operator's protection. This automatically interrupts the inrush current circuit if the protective
cap is removed. Two spring-mounted contact pins are actuated when the protective cap is
screwed on. If the spring effect of the contact pins is impeded, the safety shut-off
mechanism can become ineffective. Ensure that all contact surfaces between the spring-
mounted contact pins and the contact ring on the protective cap are kept clean.
