C
Nozzles get extremely hot after use! Allow to sufficiently cool down
and keep away from flammable surfaces and material.
• Select a suitable nozzle for the task at hand.
-
(A)
Swirl flame nozzle
(8)
for piping and heating etc.
-
(B)
Pin-point flame nozzle
(9)
for soldering etc.
-
(C)
Soft flame nozzle
(10)
for heat shrinking etc.
• Insert a nozzle into the barrel
(1)
until it “clicks” into place.
• Press the nozzle release button
(7)
to remove it.
c) Ignition
Lock the trigger safety switch
(3)
when not in use.
Begin with the gas volume regulator
(5)
set at the minimum “
-
” position by turning it all the way
clockwise.
Keep the cartridge upright while using. Avoid tilting or shaking!
After use do not place the heated elements against or near flammable materials.
• Release the trigger safety switch
(3)
.
• Squeeze the trigger
(2)
to ignite the gas, release the trigger
(2)
to stop the flame.
•
If the gas does not ignite, you may need to further increase the flow of gas by turning the gas volume
regulator
(5)
anti-clockwise “
+
”.
• Slowly increase in the anti-clockwise direction “
+
” to increase the flame as required.
d) Continuous Flame
• With the trigger
(2)
squeezed all the way and a flame ignited, press the continuous lock button
(6)
. When
the trigger is released, the flame will continue..
•
To stop the flame, squeeze the trigger
(2)
until it “clicks”, then release it. This cuts of the gas flow causing
the flame to burn out.
