When thawing pipes, be very careful not to overheat surrounding materials. Use heat shield.
•
Always have a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water near the torch and work area.
•
This torch consumes oxygen and must only be used in well ventilated areas. Do not use in a confined space.
•
Never attempt to light the torch with a setting that would result in a main flame less than one quarter inch (1/4”) long. An
excessively short flame will cause lighting difficulties, will result in inefficient heating and may damage the ignition mechanism
DANGER
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE

COMPONENTS & ASSEMBLY
1. Before attaching cylinder, make sure regulator valve is OFF by
turning adjustment knob in the direction of the arrow on knob
(clockwise) until it stops. A light stop is sufficient. Do not force.
2. Hold torch so that burner tube is pointed away from persons and
flammable materials. Thread gas cylinder into regulator/torch body.
Hand tight only. Do not force.
3. Check all joints and couplings periodically to insure against loose
connections. With valve closed, without lighting, test all connections
with soapy water. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking and torch must
be repaired or replaced. Never Use a flame to check for leaks.
Conduct this test in a well ventilated and spark-free area and where
there are no open flames.
4. Use only propane fuel with the TS3000. Use of other gas may
damage your torch.
LIGHTING AND OPERATION
1. Open regulator valve fully by turning adjustment knob counter
clockwise until it stops. Do not Force. Always fully open valve when
lighting to prevent damage to ignition system. Never look into the
burner tube or point in unsafe direction.
2. Point the torch in a safe direction and pull the ignition button toward
you. Repeat if necessary.
3. After the torch lights the igniter button may be released and the
flame may be adjusted by turning the adjustment knob.
4. To avoid possible damage to the ignition system, Do not operate the
ignition button while the torch is operating.
5. To stop, close regulator valve by turning adjustment knob fully
clockwise until it stops. Do not Force.
6. Do not use torch with fuel cylinder tipped more than 60 degrees
from its upright position as this may cause torch to flare. The torch
has a built in regulator that controls pressure and reduces the risk
of pulsating or yellow flames when used other than upright. It is
recommended to start working with a hand torch cylinder at room
temperature and to keep torch upright as much as possible.
