INTRODUCTION

The Adjustable Slide and Clamp Assembly is designed

for double torch operation with the CM-79 torch riggings

(Figs. 1 and 2). The ASSEMBLY consists of two parts,

the adjustable SLIDE and the torch holder CLAMP.

The SLIDE is a slotted fixture which can be slipped into

either end of the rigging rack, and is equipped with a

pinioned knob that engages the rack teeth. The knob is

turned to move the ASSEMBLY along the rack. The

ASSEMBLY can be locked in position on the rack by

means of a locking thumbscrew on the SLIDE.

The CLAMP is the connecting fixture between the SLIDE

and the torch holder. One end of the CLAMP fits over

the end of the SLIDE. The other end of the CLAMP

receives the torch holder stud. The position of the

CLAMP on the SLIDE can be adjusted to control torch

lead or lag angle along the line of cut. The torch holder

stud in the other end of the CLAMP can be turned to

control torch angle for bevel cutting. Both ends of the

CLAMP are provided with thumbscrews for locking the

torch in position at the desired angle along or across the

line of cut.

Be sure this information reaches the operator.

INSTALLATION FOR DOUBLE TORCH

OPERATION

1. Check to see that the fiber plug under the locking

thumbscrew on the adjustable Slide and Clamp As-

sembly does not project into the space to be occu-

pied by the rack. If it does, remove it by forcing it all

the way out with the thumbscrew. Remove the thumb-

screw, reinsert the plug in its proper position, then

replace the thumbscrew.

NOTE: Care should be taken to see that the fiber

plug is not lost or damaged in sliding the

assembly on and off the rack.

2. Slip the adjustable Slide and Clamp Assembly on to

either end of the rack with the slide locking thumb-

screw away from the toothed side of the rack.

3. Insert the protruding stud of the torch holder into the

torch holder clamp on the assembly. Tighten the

clamp thumbscrews.

4. Install the torch in the holder.

5. Attach your present clamp and torch holder to either

end of the rack and install the torch. Loosen the clamp

thumbscrew that locks the torch-holder stud in posi-

tion and back the stud out about 1/4 in. until the two

torches are in alignment.

NOTE: If the accuracy of torch alignment is a critical

factor in the operation, correct alignment can

be automatically obtained by using an offset

clamp (45N76 available as an accessory). The

thumbscrews from your present clamp may be

retained for use with the offset clamp, or two

additional thumbscrews from your present clamp

may be retained for use with the offset clamp,

or two additional thumbscrews may be pur-

chased, if so desired.

OPERATION

1. Use the pinioned knob to move the adjustable Slide

and Clamp Assembly along the rack to the desired

position.

2. Lock the assembly in position on the rack with the

locking thumbscrew on the side.

NOTE: The slide thumbscrew will lock only against the

square sections of the rack, not against the

round ends.

3. To adjust torch angle along or across the line of cut,

loosen clamp thumbscrews, set torch at desired angle,

and retighten thumbscrews.
