5. Push the right torch shell onto the head of the torch body as shown. Make sure:
 The torch shell fits over the flat edges of the torch head. The rounded edge of the torch
head should be facing up.
 The wire connector from the previous step remains in place on the mounting shelf. Hold
the wire connector in place as you fit the torch body into the torch shell.
6. Fit the rest of the torch body into the right torch shell as shown. As you do, tuck all of the wires
under the torch body. Do not pinch or crimp the wires. Make sure none of the wires are covering
the screw holes in the torch shell.
7. Fit the strain relief into the base of the right torch shell.
8. Put the plastic slider for the
torch-disable switch into place in the
yellow lock (X) position.

If you try to put the torch back
together with the slider in the
green “ready to fire” ( )
position, you can damage the
torch-disable switch that is
inside the shell behind the
torch body.
