A: It includes a rugged design, safety valves, and easy ignition control to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Q: What is included in the kit?
A: A typical SLICE kit includes the torch, cutting rods, striker assembly, oxygen regulator, and carrying case for convenience and portability.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean Torch Components: After each use, clean the torch head, oxygen fittings, and cable connections to remove debris and slag buildup.
• Inspect Electrodes and Collets: Regularly check electrodes and collets for wear or damage. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain cutting efficiency.
• Check Oxygen Supply: Inspect the oxygen hose and connections for leaks or damage. Ensure the regulator is functioning properly.
• Protect Cables: Keep the cables free of kinks and away from sharp edges or hot surfaces to prevent damage.
• Maintain Proper Storage: Store the torch in a clean, dry area to avoid corrosion and protect sensitive components.
• Test Connections: Before use, verify that all connections are secure and there are no leaks in the system.
• Inspect Cutting Rods: Check the cutting rods for corrosion or damage before installation. Replace any that are compromised.
• Follow Operational Guidelines: Adhere to Arcair’s recommended settings and procedures to optimize performance and safety.
• Periodic Overhaul: Schedule routine maintenance checks to ensure the torch operates reliably under demanding conditions.
