Section 3 Installation / Operation - ESAB PT-31XL Manual De Uso

SECTION 3
!
WARNING
Make sure power switch on the
power source is in the OFF
position and primary input
power is deenergized.
The seat comes assembled to the
front end of the torch. Make sure
seat is tightened firmly with a
wrench but do NOT overtighten.
With the torch front end facing up,
assemble electrode, swirl baffle,
tip and heat shield in that order as
shown in Fig. 2 (The swirl baffle is
symmetrical. It can be assembled
either way.) Tighten heat shield
snugly to hold the parts in firm
contact with each other and the
torch head. Do not overtighten the
heat shield.
!
WARNING
BE SURE to install the swirl
baffle in the torch. Failure to
do so would allow the nozzle
(tip) to contact the electrode.
This contact would permit high
voltage to be applied to the
nozzle. Your contact with the
nozzle or workpiece could then
result in serious injury or death
by electric shock.
!
WARNING
The PT-31XL torch head con-
tains a gas flow check valve
that acts in conjunction with
the flow switch and circuitry
within the power source. This
system prevents the torch from
being energized with high volt-
age if the torch switch is acci-
dentally closed when the shield
is removed. ALWAYS RE-
PLACE TORCH WITH THE
PROPER TORCH MANUFAC-
TURED BY ESAB SINCE IT
ALONE CONTAINS ESAB'S
PATENTED SAFETY INTER-
LOCK.
Follow all instructions in the appropriate booklet packed with your plasma cutting
package. DO NOT install or attempt to operate this torch without following these
instructions.
