Cutting head & stream

Focusing tube wears oval or on one side

One-sided wear means the stream does not run down the centre.

Safety first: Switch off the pump, release all pressure (open the on/off valve or bleed-down valve) and lock out before you open any high-pressure part. Never put a hand or tool near a running jet.
