IMPORTANT:
Check consumables regularly for wear and change them out before they are completely worn out. A good practice is to check consumables
before turning the machine on each time you go to cut. It takes only a few seconds and can save yourself a lot of extra effort later. Allowing the
consumables to wear until they quit working may damage torch related components, creating a more costly repair. Periodically, with the unit
turned off, check the spring action of the electrode by removing the cup and tip and pushing your thumb or nger down on the electrode. The
electrode should depress slightly and spring back quickly without a delay. If it does not, the torch head may need to be disassembled, cleaned
and lightly lubricated with di-electric grease. In some cases the sealing O-rings may be broken or dirty causing sticking. Replacement torch
head kits are available if repair is not an option. Sticking of the electrode like this causes starting issues. Most often this condition occurs be-
cause of moisture and dirt that makes it way into the system. Additionally, do not overtighten the electrode or overheat the torch (by poor cutting
techniques such as excessive piercing starts on thick metal) or the electrode threads may gall in the torch head and break off during removal.
This usually occurs on lower quality consumables (non-OEM) with poor chrome plating, but can occur if OEM consumables are overtightened.
NOTE:
When stepping down amps to cut thinner material, you must change to smaller orice nozzle. Nozzles are offered in different sizes which are
made for different amp levels. See the torch parts page for amp range and size of consumables. Everlast offers OEM size and conguration of
consumables originally supplied with the torch for replacements and do not offer all congurations or sizes. OEM and aftermarket suppliers of
the S-45 Style torches (local and online) offer extended range of sizes and congurations. An orice that is too large for the amps being used will
result in arc instability and a rough cut. Do not attempt to lower air pressure to compensate as this makes the issue worse.
