5.1 Be sure the tip has cooled before
removal.
5.2 The catalyst seen through the Hot Air
Exhaust Hole of the soldering tip is
verydelicate and will not sustain
mechanical abuse without serious
damage.
5.3 The soldering tip is easilyremovable
allowing the installation of other style tips or the replacement
of a worn tip. After the soldering tip is cool, simplyunscrew it
with a counterclockwise motion.
Be careful not to overtighten as this could damage the nozzle
assemblyand thread in the body.

4.1 The tip temperature can be adjusted
byturning the GAS CONTROL LEVER
observing the – + signs on the body.
4.2 Ideallyset the GAS CONTROL LEVER
to
mid
position when soldering or
brazing.
4.3 It is not necessaryfor the catalyst
inside the tip to glow bright red to
achieve satisfactorysoldering
temperatures. Experience will dictate

Cap
REPLACE CAP
8.1 Use onlymild soap and a damp cloth to clean
the housings of the tool. Manyhousehold
cleaners contain chemicals which could
seriouslydamage the plastic. Also do not use
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner,
drycleaning fluids or similar products.
Never let anyliquid get inside the tool; never
immerse anypart of the tool into a liquid.
CLEANING
7.1 When replacing cap please refer as shown
picture 7.1
6.1 Remove soldering tip and flame collar in the normal manner.
6.2 While holding the torch straight up in the vertical position, unscrew
Nozzle Assembly(A) from the Torch Body(C). You mayhave to use a
pliers or other tool to start unscrewing. Do not grasp and turn the
Ceramic Head (D).
6.3 Carefullyremove Orifice Assembly(B) bylifting out of torch body.
NOTE THAT THE SHORTER SIDE OF ORIFICE ASSEMBLY FITS INTO TORCH
BODY.
6.4 Soak Orifice Assemblyin Naphtha or other similar
solvent for approximately5 minutes.
6.5 Replace clean (or new) Orifice Assembly
remembering to insert the SHORTER
SIDE INTO TORCH BODY.
6.6 Replace Nozzle Assembly
and hand tighten or

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Warnings:
1.1 Unit contains flammable gas (Butane) under pressure -
use with care.
1.2 DO NOT expose to heat above +50°C (120°F) and
avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
1.3 DO NOT puncture or incinerate.
1.4 Excessive gas flow, flaming or catalyst pulsing red may
occur when the GAS CONTROL LEVER is incorrectly
adjusted,ie., set too high.
1.5 DO NOT refill, ignite or use near open flame, heater, fur-
nace or combustible materials.
1.6 KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
