Instruction Manual
WARNING:
This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Wash hands after handling.
•
Keep torch out of reach of children and anyone who has not read instructions. Do not point torch towards face, other persons or
flammable objects. Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette lighter.
•
Disconnect cylinder when not in use.
•
Never attempt to modify the torch construction and never use unapproved accessories or fuels.
•
Treat the torch as you would any fine tool or instrument. Do not drop, throw, or otherwise abuse.
•
Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning torch.
•
Always wear safety glasses, protective gloves and use proper tools to handle hot work.
•
Radiant energy can harm your eyes. Wear glasses having an appropriate lens shade number (see 29 CFR 1926.102) for the torch
operation being done; brazing and light cutting (3 or 4), medium cutting and light welding (4 or 5), heavy cutting and medium/heavy
welding (5-8).
•
Work only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid the fumes from fluxes, lead-based paint, and all metal heating operations. Be careful to avoid
fumes from cadmium plating and galvanized metal- remove these coatings in the area to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating.
•
Never use torch to strip lead paint.
•
Be careful when using the torch outdoors on sunny or windy days. Bright light makes it difficult to see the torch’s flame. Wind may carry
the torch’s heat back towards you or other areas not intended to be heated. Windy conditions may also cause sparks to be blown into
other areas with combustible materials.
•
Heating a surface may cause heat to be conducted to adjoining surfaces that may be combustible or become pressurized when heated.
Always check to make sure no unintended parts or materials are being heated.
•
Be aware that the tip of the torch can get extremely hot during use. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from accidental
burns.
•
Never use the torch on or near combustibles. Be careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-fired products and beware of hidden fuel
lines and tanks.
•
Always make certain the torch is placed on a level surface when connected to the fuel cylinder to reduce the risk of accidental tip over.
Be sure the torch is not pointed in a direction which could cause nearby objects to ignite when the torch is set down.
•
Be careful not to overheat surrounding materials. Use a heat shield when necessary.
•
Never leave the torch unattended when lit.
•
Never attempt to repair or heat a gasoline tank, a chemical drum an aerosol can, a compressed gas container that held flammable liquid
or gas or any other chemical. Heating these is extremely dangerous, especially after they have been emptied because vapors may still be
in the container.
•
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.
ASSEMBLY
1. Push the ignition lock to LOCKED position (5).
2. For model MT579, make sure flame control valve is off by turning flame adjustment knob (4) clockwise until it stops. A light stop is
sufficient. Do not force. (Note: the MT565 is not equipped with a flame adjustment knob.)
3. Hold torch so that tip end (3) is pointed away from persons and flammable materials. Thread gas cylinder into regulator/torch body. Hand
tighten only. Do not force.
4. Check all joints and couplings periodically to insure against loose connections. With valve open, without lighting, test all connections
with soapy water. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking and torch must be repaired. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Make
this test in a well ventilated and spark-free area and where there are no open flames.
LIGHTING AND OPERATION
CAUTION:
Tipping the gas cylinder more than 60 degrees from its upright position 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 disposable hand torch cylinder at room temperature and to keep torch upright as much as possible.
1. For model MT579, open flame control valve fully by turning flame adjustment knob (4) counter clockwise 3-4 turns. (Except MT565, that
does not include a flame adjustment knob.) Never look into the burner tube or point in unsafe direction.
