8 Cut off the spiral liner (15) on the front side of the torch handle or the
sealing plug so it is flush.
9 Unscrew the nut (13) and pull out the spiral liner (15) again.
10 Cut back the spiral liner (15) 40 mm at the front (53 mm when using a
sealing plug) and grind it down at an angle of 40°. Do not remove the
spiral liner insulation any further; then deburr the edge.
11 Tighten the insulating bush (17) in the torch neck seat (forward a small
diameter) by hand.
12 Insert the spiral liner (15).
A retaining nipple protrusion (approx. 14 mm) preloads the spiral liner.
13 Tighten the nut (13).
4 At the central plug: Slide the trunnion and O-ring on the PA liner.
5 At the central plug: Manually tighten the nut.
6 The PA liner must end just before the wire feeder's conveyor rollers.
Calculate the maximum excess and mark it on the PA liner.
7 Use the ABICOR BINZEL cutter to cut off the PA liner at the marking and
deburr the edge.
