Converting a Duramax retrofit machine torch into a mini torch
You can convert a full‑length machine torch to a mini‑machine torch by removing the positioning
sleeve.
Note:
If you are converting a full‑length machine torch to a mini‑machine torch and
mounting the torch at the same time, skip this section and follow the instructions in
“Mount the torch” on page 2‑9.
Refer to the figures in the section “Machine torch setup” on page 2‑6 and follow these instructions.
Note:
While disconnecting and reconnecting the torch parts, maintain the same orientation
between the torch head and torch lead. Twisting the torch head in relation to the
torch lead can cause damage.

2. Unscrew the strain relief body from the strain relief nut and slide the strain relief body back
along the torch lead.
3. Unscrew the strain relief nut from the positioning sleeve and slide the nut back along the torch
lead.

mounting sleeve off the front of the torch body.
