WARNING

Disconnect all power to the MAX200 before adjusting the torch. Failure to do so could result in
eye or bodily injury due to accidental firing or movement of the torch.

Adjust the Torch Position

Before using the machine torch system, the torch must be adjusted for the torch-to-work distance for the metal to
be cut. To adjust the torch, perform the following procedure.

Note:

Two people may be required to perform the torch position adjustment.

1. Retract the torch from the work at least 3-4 inches.

2. Manually extend probes fully by pulling down on the plastic mounting yoke.

3. Adjust the position of the torch in the mounting bracket by loosening the securing bolt and positioning the torch

so that the torch shield is within 1/16 to 1/8 inch of the extended probe plastic caps. Use a straight edge to
determine this (see Figure 3-19). Secure the torch in the mounting bracket by tightening the securing bolt.
