1. Electrode
Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the O-ring, just
enough to produce a shiny surface. Thread electrode
in place and tighten snugly with tool provided. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. Nozzle & Swirl Baffle
Place swirl baffle into nozzle with the grooved end of
the baffle going inside nozzle.
When properly assembled, the small spherical tip of
nozzle makes a metal to metal coolant seal with the
nozzle retainer. Apply a small amount of Krytox (anti-
seizing compound) on the small diameter of the nozzle
retainer as shown. This grease prevents possible
galling/seizing between the nozzle and retainer. It also
facilitates a watertight seal. Do not put Krytox on
nozzle.
3. Nozzle Retainer/Diffuser
Thread the nozzle retainer onto torch and hand
tighten.
