5.5 Assembly of <strong>Torch</strong> Front End (for Production Thick Plate)<br />
caution<br />
Over tightened parts will be difficult to disassemble and may damage<br />
torch. Do not over tighten parts during reassembly. Threaded<br />
parts are designed to work properly when hand tightened, approximately<br />
40 to 60 inch/pounds.<br />

Reverse order of disassembly.<br />
Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to O-rings before assembling mating parts. This facilitates easy<br />
future assembly and disassembly for service.<br />
Hand-tighten threaded parts.<br />
Installing the electrode requires only moderate hand tightening. Electrode holder should always be<br />
made tighter than the electrode.<br />
<strong>Torch</strong> Body<br />
1. Replace electrode holder in torch body. Hex on the<br />
end of the electrode holder removal tool will engage<br />
in a hex in the holder.<br />

2. To replace the electrode, assemble collet, collet holder<br />
and electrode. Insert electrode assembly into the<br />
elctrode removal tool and ensure electrode makes<br />
contact with bottom of tool hole (electrode will fall<br />
into place).<br />
