ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD: Always turn off the power and unplug the cord before changing consum-
able parts. Do not rely on the cap-on sensor switch to remove power. It is provided strictly
for safety backup. In the U.S., use a "lock-out / tag-out" procedure until the service or main-
tenance work is complete. In other countries, follow appropriate national or local safety
procedures.
Under severe conditions, routine maintenance should be performed more frequently.
Before Each Use

• Check the torch and consumables.
Every Week
• Check the torch cap -on sensor system by listening for the micro-switch to "click" when the
retaining cap is loosened. See Changing Consumable Parts in the Operation section.
3 Months

• Check the air supply hose.
