- D/F 12111 Collet/Tip Wrench: This is the only tool that should ever be used to tighten the collet nut or the tip. Pressure should be 30 lbs., or as snug as hand tightened. Never use another wrench to apply more torque to this wrench.
- D/F Nozzle Thread Chaser Tap: This is used to re-tap damaged threads that have been improperly cleaned or cross threaded. Always blow out the nozzle and gas nozzle after changing gas cup or re-tapping. For more information on how to use the nozzle thread chaser tap, use the following link: Nozzle Thread Chaser Taps
- Long 5/16” Open Ended Wrench:
- A short wrench will work, however we prefer the feel and comfort of the long 5/16" open ended wrench. This is used to loosen or tighten interconnection hose (10974) to the 7mm fitting on the inner body, and to connect the pipe assembly (10957) to the water in hose.
- Also use this wrench to connect the torch's water-cooled nozzle assembly to the interconnection hoses.
- 3/8” Open Ended Wrench: This is used on the inner body's gas hose fitting to secure the gas hose to the torch's inner body. A crescent wrench could be used instead, but due to the large size of crescent wrenches, we prefer the smaller size of the open ended wrenches. You never want to use excessive force by using too large of a wrench. You will use the Long 7/16" Open Ended Wrench for the fitting on the gas hose itself while using the 3/8" wrench to steady the inner body at the fitting. (see #5)
- Long 7/16” Open Ended Wrench: This is used to secure the gas hose to the torch's inner body. (see #4)
- 9/16” & 1/2” Open Ended Wrench
- This is used on the inner body's water out & power cable fitting to secure the water out and power cable to the torch's inner body. A crescent wrench could be used instead, but due to the large size of crescent wrenches, we prefer the smaller size of the open ended wrenches. We prefer the use of the larger wrenches on the power cable fitting to ensure that there are no water leaks, and that it has been seated correctly. You will use the #7 (Long 9/16" Open Ended Wrench) for the fitting on the water out & power cable hose. (see #7 A)
- This wrench is also used to secure the adapter and jam nut that hold the current tip to the inner body. In your left hand hold the inner body, and with your right hand thread up the adapter using the 1/2" Open Ended Wrench until it is tight. Now place the same wrench on the jam nut and snug it up against the inner body. Keeping that wrench on the jam nut and placing it on the table for force, take #7 (Long 1/2" Open Ended Wrench), place it on the adapter and push it down (counter-clockwise) securing the adapter to the inner body. (see #7 B)
- Long 1/2” & 9/16” Open Ended Wrench
:
- This is used to secure the water out & power cable to the torch's inner body. A medium size adjustable crescent wrench could be used as well. We prefer the use of the larger wrenches on the power cable fitting to ensure that there are no water leaks, and that it has been seated correctly. (see #6 A)
- This wrench is also used to secure the adapter and jam nut to the inner body. (see #6 B)
- Adjustable Crescent Wrench: A medium size adjustable crescent wrench could be used as well. We prefer the use of the larger wrenches on the power cable fitting to ensure that there are no water leaks, and that it has been seated correctly. CAUTION: Never use excessive force with large wrenches, for you could twist or break parts.
- Standard Flat Head Screwdriver: This is used to tighten or secure the torch's body screw. Also, the screwdriver can be used to straighten the contact tip if it is not aligned in the center of the gas cup or water-cooled nozzle. CAUTION: This cannot be done unless the spatter disc has been removed from the torch.
- Small Narrow Flat Head Screwdriver: This is required to insert into the small body housing hole so you can access the casing/conduit set screw.
- Long Nose Pliers: These are used to grab the small white insulation tubes (10739) and get them into the correct position when working on the interconnection hose fittings inside the torch. Also they are very handy when changing a slip-in contact tip.
- 1/16” Allen Wrench: This is used for secure the button switch set screw in the aluminum pistol handle.
- 3/32” Allen Wrench: This is used to secure the socket cap screws in the handle bracket to the 3 t-bolts required to secure the handle bracket (10338) to the body housing (12130).
- 7/64” Allen Wrench: This is used to secure the 4 socket cap screws in the sides of the aluminum pistol handle to the handle bracket and body housing.
- Propane Torch: Required for applying new heat shrink to interconnection hose assemblies & water in hoses.
