NOTE: When assembling a new curved wire guide,
do NOT apply teflon tape or other lubricants
on the pipe threads. The threads should be
dry since the torch body threads have a film of
conductive material already applied. Assemble
the torch body to the wire guide by hand, and
then use a wrench to tighten to the desired
position.
4.7
TORCH SWITCH
IMPORTANT:
During the first switch replacement.
The housing should be removed and
the switch lead positions observed.
When the switch and other switch
parts are reassembled, the leads
should be returned to the original po-
sition.
To replace switch (2075220), press lever (2075214)
down and then remove metal clamp (2075219) from
switch housing (998858) by sliding it towards the rear
of the torch handle. After lifting the lever away from
the handle, remove the switch from the mounting lugs
on the underside of the lever. You can then disconnect
the leads from the old switch and reconnect to the
new switch. Make sure the switch is properly posi-
tioned on the mounting lugs of the lever and then reas-
semble lever and clamp. The switch is properly as-
sembled when you press and release the lever and
hear two distinct clicks.
If you desire to have the switch assembly located on
the top side of the torch handle for thumb operation of

switch, disassemble as described above but you must
also remove the plastic housing from the handle and
cut off the molded-in rubber keys (located on the un-
derside where illustrated) with a wire cutter or some
other sharp instrument. Spread the housing apart so
that it can slide upward off the handle. Disconnect the
switch and then reconnect on the top side of handle so
that the leads can be tucked neatly into the handle cav-
ity. Reassemble the housing from the opposite side.
Reassemble switch components as described in the
preceding paragraph.
4.8 HANDLE AND CABLE ASSEMBLY (See Figure
5.1)
The handle and cable assembly includes the power
cable switch leads, and gas and wire passages. The
outer jacket should be examined periodically for signs
of minor damage which may be repaired by the cus-
tomer. If severe damage occurs, causing torch mal-
functions, the handle and cable assembly should be
replaced.
