My plasma cutter stopped cutting. The loose-nozzle indicator light was
on. The nozzle was tight, but I loosened & re-tightened it and it started
cutting again. Then stopped again "loose nozzle" again.

So I opened the torch & checked the nozzle switch - it was OK. Crap! Now
it was something in the hose, or worse - in the electronics. So I got out
the manual to look for a schematic. And stumbled across the page with the
indicators explained. 'Turns out that "loose nozzle" means a loose nozzle
only when steady. When it's flashing, as mine was, it means worn
electrode!

So I put in a new electrode & nozzle and I'm all set. 'Least I didn't
start taking more stuff apart.

Kick me,

Damn, you keep all that paperwork that comes with stuff? They say there's a
lot of good useful information in there.
