SL100 Hand Torch (30-100A)

The illustration shows all consumable parts for the SL100 hand torch. Various front - end torch parts are available for different applications. Use the single - piece shield cup for general purpose cutting operations with the torch tip in contact with the work (up to 40 amps). This is the preferred method of cutting sheet metal up to 3/16" or 4.8 mm thick. Also use the single - piece Shield Cup for 'standoff' cutting (with the torch tip 1/8" to 1/4" from the workpiece). This is the preferred method for cutting metal thicker than 3/16" / 4.8 mm and at current levels above 40 amps. This provides maximum visibility and accessibility.

The Standoff Guide fits Shield Cup No. 9-8218 and enables the user to maintain a consistent standoff height for most applications. Use the Shield Cup Body with the Deflector Shield Cap for extended parts life and improved resistance to reflected heat. This combination provides cutting results similar to the single-piece Shield Cup, as well as easy changeover to gouging or drag shield cutting. Use the Shield Cup Body with the Drag Shield Cap for a consistent standoff distance with the drag shield in contact with the workpiece. This is a simple and operator-friendly method of cutting between 50 and 100 amps. Use the Shield Cup Body with the Gouging Shield Cap for excellent gouging performance and enhanced torch parts life. The electrode and starter cartridge are the same for all operations.
