* Some Flexlite TX torch models also include a back cap insulating ring, in addition to the gas nozzle insulating ring.

Separate K3 level torches with a DIX connector and a manual gas valve in the torch body are also available. Use these

torches with MMA power sources for scratch and TouchArc TIG ignition.

Dedicated lens models of the collet body and the gas nozzle exist for laminar flow welding. Bigger lens consumables

require an additional insulating ring.

5. Install the electrode back cap. Tighten the back cap to lock the electrode in place.

Do not use excessive force. Overtightening may damage the torch components.

By loosening the electrode back cap, the electrode can be installed also by pushing it into the torch from the other

side.

3.2 Installing torch remote

You can install a torch remote on a K5 level torch only.

Many Flexlite TX welding torches are equipped as standard with ON/OFF start/stop switches. Optional remote con-

trol devices can be fitted to these TX torch models, allowing both start/stop function and welding current adjust-

ment.

Ensure that the welding equipment is not connected to the mains or that the welding torch is not connected to the

welding machine at this stage.

1. Open the switch cover by releasing the screws in the rear section of the cover and remove the cover.
