WARNING
Maximum current for is 60 Amps for SL60 Torches,
or 100 Amps for SL100 Torches. Operation of this
torch at higher outputs may damage the torch, the
leads, or the Power Supply. DO NOT operate the
SL60 Torch at more than 60 Amps, or the SL100
at more than 100 Amps.
CAUTION
Do not operate the torch with the torch tip in contact
with the work at outputs greater than 40 amps. Drag
cutting at higher output currents can cause irrepa-
rable damage to the torch parts. Use only shielded
parts at output currents higher than 40 amps.

NOTE
When the shield cup is properly installed, there is
a slight gap between the shield cup and the torch
handle. Gas vents through this gap as part of normal
operation. Do not attempt to force the shield cup to
close this gap. Forcing the shield cup against the
torch head can damage components.
8. The optional Standoff Guide allows the user to easily
adjust and maintain a consistent standoff height for
most applications.
