including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH FROM FIRE:

WARNING!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not use thread seal tape, it will weaken the
seal at the connections and can cause leaks.
1. To close gas valve, turn Gas Control
Knob upward until it stops.
2. Thread propane cylinder firmly into the
Connector, do not overtighten.
3. Turn the Gas Control Knob off and check and
smell for gas leaks. Perform a bubble test:
a. Apply warm soapy water over every
joint, regulator, fitting, and anywhere
else there may be a possible leak.
b. Observe carefully to see if bubbles expand,
indicating a leak. A large leak can blow the
soapy solution away instead of forming bubbles.
c. If leaks are found, do not use the Torch
until the leaks have been stopped.
d. After testing, close the gas valve
on the propane cylinder.

a. Disconnect propane cylinder from Connector.
b. Let Torch cool for 30 minutes on
a non-flammable surface.
