Grasp the insulating sleeve on the
2.
electrode, and insert the electrode into the
pencil.
Ensure the insulating sleeve fits securely
3.
inside the nose of the pencil so that the
nose overlaps the insulating sleeve by
at least 1/8" (0.3 cm).
Hex electrodes have a depth indicator. The
4.
line on the depth indicator should be flush
with the tip of the handswitching pencil.
A tip protector covers the coated end
5.
of some electrodes. If a tip protector
is present, remove it before use.
