NOTE!
When the shield cup is properly in-
stalled, there is a slight gap between
the shield cup and the torch handle.
Gas vents through this gap as part
of normal operation. Do not attempt
to force the shield cup to close this
gap. Forcing the shield cup against
the torch head or torch handle can
damage components.
