when parts, particularly protective cone, are removed to expose electrode connection. For the interlocking device

to function properly, the torch electrode must remain in the protective cone. Do not attempt to install the electrode

into the torch without ﬁrst placing it in proper position (with the other parts) within the protective cone.
