REPLACING THE WELDING TORCH LINER
Switch welder off, disconnect power, and discharge electrode to ground before
proceeding.
Secure welding wire to the spool, cut it near the spool, and remove it from the torch
and cable.
Gently twist and slide the Locking Collar (15b) off the torch and onto the Protective
Sleeve (15a). Slide the Upper Housing (15m) forward and off the Lower Housing
(15c).
Remove the four Screws (10g) that hold the Cable Clamp (10h) in place. Set aside
the Cable Clamp, Screws, and the Liner Sleeve (10i) underneath the cable clamp.
Lay torch cable out straight to allow the cable to twist within the sleeve.
Press in on the Push-lock Coupler (15i) and remove the Liner from the gun end.
Install a new Liner and Fitting from the gun end with the end without a Fitting first.
Attach the Fitting at the end of the Liner (15k) to the Push-lock Coupler (15i) on the
Switch Body (15e).
Slide the Liner Sleeve (10i) back onto the end of the liner. Reinstall the Cable Clamp
(10h) and Screws (10g). Trim off the Liner that extends past the Clamp.
Make sure that all torch parts lay back into place properly including the Protective
Sleeve (15a), Head Tube (15f), and Trigger (15d). See Assembly Diagram on page
30. While all parts are properly in place, carefully put the Upper Housing (15m) back
onto the Lower Housing (15c) and slide back to secure. Slide the Locking Collar
(15b) back onto the Housings (15c, 15m) and twist to secure.
Check the Torch (15) carefully for proper operation.
