Each component of the system is packaged separately and

ion assembly.

rial.

2. Locate the packing list(s) and use the list to iden-

tify and account for each item.

WARNING

Disconnect primary power at the source before dis-
assembling the torch or torch leads.

Metal mounting tubes with rack and pinion assemblies
are standard for machine torches.

2. To obtain a clean vertical cut, use a square to align

the torch perpendicular to the surface of the work-
piece (Figure 3-1).
