SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Read and understand all warnings and instructions before
attempting to operate the equipment. Never permit children to
use this torch.
WARNING:
• Flames from this torch can cause serious burn injuries to
your skin and body.
• Blocking flame at torch head may cause flame direction
to reverse and exit from the top of the torch head toward
the operator.
• Using this torch on or near flammable material or closed
containers may cause a fire or explosion which may
cause injury or death.
• Failure to control burning material while using this torch
may cause injury or property damage.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
• Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles or
glasses which meet ANSI Z87.1, heavy gloves, leather
shoes and heavy cotton clothing treated to be fire retar-
dant. Do not wear shorts or loose clothing.
EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS:
• Only use this torch with propane gases from vapor with-
drawal cylinders. Do not attempt to use fuel gas other
than approved propane fuels.
• Propane cylinders must be kept in an upright position
especially when the torch is in use.
• Before use, check all equipment for leaks with an ap-
proved bubble solution. Do not light torch until any and
all leaks are repaired.
• Light torch only with an approved lighter (provided). Do
not use matches or a cigarette lighter.
• Do not permit lighted cigarettes, sparks or open flames
near this equipment.
• When not in use, close torch valve and cylinder valve.
• Do not abuse, tamper with or alter the operation of this
torch or its parts. Any repairs must be made by a qual-
ified repair technician
USE OF EQUIPMENT:
• When operating the torch, always have a helper with
proper NFPA approved fire extinguisher (or other fire
fighting apparatus) of a type and size appropriate for the
application and trained in its use nearby to watch and
control the burning material.
• Maintain secure footing when holding a lighted torch to
avoid falling. Shut torch and tank valves off if you are
moving more than a few yards.
• Always direct flame from the torch away from your body
when torch is lighted. Never point the torch at yourself
or other persons while lighting or operating. Keep other
persons away from the torch at all times.
• Never leave a lighted torch unattended. Turn the torch
valve off to extinguish the flame before laying the torch
down. Do not lay a hot torch down on or near flammable
material.
• Do not block the flow of air or fuel gas through the torch
head. Never allow the torch head to contact a surface
or block the flow of gas from the torch head. Doing this
may cause flame direction to reverse and exit from the
top of the torch head toward the operator. Lift torch
head from surface immediately if this occurs and re-
lease safety lever valve.
• Do not use torch in areas where combustible gases or
vapors may be stored or otherwise present.
• Do not use this torch on or near flammable material or
sealed containers which may cause a fire or explosion
resulting in injury or death. Sealed containers even if
empty, may explode.
• Only burn in a small area at one time. Do not use torch
near combustibles you do not intend to burn.
• Do not use the torch in windy or very dry conditions in
which the torch flame or the amount of material burning
may be difficult to control.
• In some locations you may not be permitted to burn
without a permit. Contact your local authorities and fire
department about state and local codes or permit re-
quirements before using torch.
• Torch head will remain hot for a time after shutdown.
DO NOT touch or store the equipment until it has cooled.
WARNING:
• Burning or heating some materials can produce danger-
ous fumes which may cause injury to your lungs or other
parts of your body.
• Only use this equipment outside or, if inside, only use for
heating materials in a large area with enough ventilation
to avoid the build up of smoke, fumes and gases. If the
air is not clear and free of smoke, fumes and gases, stop
using the torch and move the work outside or improve
the ventilation.
• Propane fumes may collect in an unventilated or en-
closed area causing an explosive atmosphere or one in
which you cannot safely breathe.
• Never use the torch on materials, coatings, solvents or
chemicals which release toxic fumes when heated or on
plants such as poison ivy or poison oak.
