The machine is designed to provide depend able, trouble-free service with minimum maintenance, This manual contains information needed to operate and maintain the machine properly. If additional information is required, contact your Authorized Victor Distributor, Section 1, General Information, gives descriptive informa- tion on the VCM-200 Series. This information will help the fopenitar 1o become more familiar with the machine and its ‘capabilities. Installation instuetions are not included in this ‘manual since the VCM-200 is.a portable cutting machine and not usually used ina fixed location Section 2, Machine Operation, provides information on setting up the machine and making the necessary electrical and gas connections. It also contains operating instructions, including information such as the identification of all operat~ ing controls and an explanation of their functions, operational checks to be performed, and cautions to be observed. It is, assumed that the operator is thoroughly familiar with cutting practices and procedures: however, a set of Vietor tip charts is included with the machine, Use of these charts will allow even inexperienced operators to make successful cuts with the VEM-200.

Gi ENERAL. ‘The Victor VCM-200, VCM-200HT and VCM-200HS cut ng machines are designed to operate over extended periods ‘with minimum maintenance, However, continued satisfactory ‘operation of the machine depends upon the careful perfor- mance oF a few simple periodie inspections and the cle procedures outlined in this section, With proper care, prob- Jems can usually be detected and corrected before the result in loss of machine operating time. Troubleshooting proce- dures are included to help di correct problems as they occur and before serious trouble occurs. Following the inspection and troubleshooting procedures are the maintenance procedures necessary for maintaining the machine. These sections are designed to provide an under standing of the components involved and to supply additional ntenance information which eannot be noted in detail in the Troubleshooting Chart, 3-2, ROUTINE INSPECTION. Inspect the machine carefully each day before placing it in ‘operation. Visually inspect the machine and perform the fol- lowing steps, which include operating checks of all machine ‘components. If faults or malfunctions are noted while per- forming these procedures, refer to the Troubleshooting Chart ‘Section 3-4, and the following maintenance procedures forthe ‘components involved, 1.

Redistribute the grease on the gear train and the groove in the cluteh dog every 100 hours. Itis not necessary to add grease, Remove the outer case cover and the inier case over to gain access to the gear train (Refer to Section 3-6-1).
