Congratulations on purchasing a new TIG Brush PROPEL Torch. We expect this
will provide you with many years of Stainless Steel weld cleaning satisfaction.
Take the time to read through this instruction manual before operating your
new PROPEL Torch. This will ensure that the tool performs at its peak at all
times, whilst operating within the recommended safety parameters.
Warning
• Do not operate the PROPEL Torch without TIG Brush weld cleaning fluids.
• Do not allow the Brush to dry out during use, as this will result in damage to
components.
• The Brush may become very hot during use. Allow the Brush to cool before
removal.
• Do not use the PROPEL Torch for any other purpose than recommended in
this manual.
• Do not alter or modify the PROPEL Torch. Only use genuine TIG Brush
replacement parts for service or repairs.
• The PROPEL Torch has been designed for exclusive use with selected TIG
Brush units manufactured by Ensitech. Using the PROPEL Torch with any third
party machines may result in personal injury and damage to the
product or property.
Introduction

1.To install or replace the Brush, turn the Drive Sleeve clockwise until it stops.
Do NOT overwind the Drive Sleeve!
2. Insert the brass end of the Brush into the nose of the Shroud until it is seated
in the Collet. The Brush should slide into the Collet with minimal resistance
(see figure 1).
3. Once the Brush is seated in the Collet, turn the Drive Sleeve anti-clockwise
half a turn, and lightly pull the Brush to ensure it is securely seated. Now that
the Brush is secure, retract the Brush back into the Shroud by turning the
Drive Sleeve anti-clockwise, until it leaves approximately 1/2” – 5/8” of the
Brush exposed.
4. When the Brush requires replacement, repeat steps 1- 3 for Brush
replacement.
Note: If the Shroud becomes warped due to overheating the Brush will become
difficult to fit or remove. To prevent this, make sure the Brush does not dry out
while in use.
Warning! The Brush may be extremely hot from use.
Installing & Replacing the Brush

Brush
Shroud

Turn the Drive Sleeve clockwise to adjust the length of the Brush protruding
from the Shroud. For optimal performance, 1/2” – 5/8” of the Brush is only
required to be exposed.
1. Dip the Brush into the Weld Cleaning fluid, making sure the Brush is soaked.
2. Apply the tip of the Brush to the workpiece and use small circular motions
over the area to be cleaned, until the desired result is achieved. Do NOT push
down on the Brush. This will not improve the cleaning performance and will
result in premature Brush wear.
3. As the Brush wears, adjust the length by turning the Drive Sleeve clockwise
(see figure 2). When the Brush is unable to protrude 1/2” – 5/8” from the tip
of the Shroud, replace the Brush by following the ‘Installing & Replacing the
Brush’ Instructions.
Important! Do not allow the Brush to dry out during use. Re-dip the Brush as
required to keep it wet during use. Cleaning with a dry Brush will result in an
increase of Brush sparking and will leave Brush burn marks on the workpiece.

The PROPEL Torch, Collet Assembly and Brush must be kept clean to provide
trouble-free service. Regular cleaning of the PROPEL Torch will prolong the
service life of the components.
1. At the end of use, remove the Brush and the Shroud as previously described
and rinse with clean water. Rinse the Collet Assembly and any part of the
PROPEL Torch which may have cleaning fluid residue on it after use.
2. After rinsing components with clean water, spray with neutralising fluid (see
below for compatible neutralizing fluids) and re-rinse.
• Neutralise with TB-42 if using TB-25 & TB-21ND weld cleaning fluid
• Neutralise with TB-41 if using TB30ND weld cleaning fluid
3. Allow to dry before reassembling.
Important! If residue from weld cleaning fluids remains on the Brush, Brush
base or Collet, corrosion will form and seize the threads. Corrosion will reduce
the PROPEL Torch performance and increase wear of components.
PROPEL Torch Care

5. Fit the new Spring over the Collet inside the Closing Sleeve (see figure 4)
and screw the Collet thread through the Spring Retainer and into the Spindle
(see figure 5).
6. Secure the Collet using the 3/32” hex key through the hole in the brass
Collet and rotate it clockwise to tighten the Collet. The Collet should be firmly
fitted but not overtightened. Only apply light pressure when tightening.
Note: A loose fitted Collet may overheat and damage the PROPEL Torch.
7. Refit the Shroud and the Brush before use.
Note: The Collet should be checked regularly to ensure it has not become
loose. When correctly fitted, there should be a 1/25” gap between the Closing
Sleeve and the Spring Retainer (see figure 3). The Closing Sleeve should move
to touch the Spring Retainer and spring back.
The PROPEL Collet is a consumable item which may last for approximately 20
Brushes. Replacement Collet Assemblies are supplied with a Spring which
should be replaced with the Collet.
1. Remove the Brush as previously described from the PROPEL Torch.
2. Wind the Collet back slightly by turning the Drive Sleeve half a turn
anti-clock wise.
3. Remove the Shroud by unscrewing it anti-clockwise.
4. Use a tool, such as a 3/32” hex key, through the side hole in the Collet.
Rotate it anti-clockwise to undo the Collet (see figure 3).
Note: You may need to rotate the Closing Sleeve to expose the hole in the
Collet side.
