Mount the torch
Depending on the type of cutting table you have, you may or may not need to disassemble the torch to route it through the
track and mount it. If your cutting table’s track is large enough for you to thread the torch through it without removing the
torch body from the lead, do so and then attach the torch to the lifter per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: The Duramax machine torches can be mounted on a wide variety of X-Y tables, track burners, pipe bevelers,
and other equipment. Install the torch per the manufacturer’s instructions and follow the instructions below for
disassembly if necessary.
If you need to disassemble and reassemble the torch, refer to the figures in the “Machine torch setup” section while
completing the following instructions.
1. Disconnect the torch lead from the power supply and remove the consumables from the torch.
Note: While disconnecting and reconnecting the torch parts, maintain the same orientation between the torch body
and torch lead. Twisting the torch body in relation to the torch lead can cause damage.
2. Unscrew the strain relief body from the strain relief nut and slide the strain relief body back along the torch lead.
3. Unscrew the strain relief nut from the positioning sleeve (full-length machine torch) and slide the nut back along the
torch lead.
4. Unscrew the positioning sleeve from the coupler.
5. Unscrew the coupler from the mounting sleeve.
6. Remove the three screws from the consumables end of the mounting sleeve and slide the mounting sleeve off the front
of the torch body.
7. Disconnect the wire connector for the cap-sensor switch.
8. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw that secures the pilot arc wire to the torch body.
