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. To light with a match, hold as shown and open valve (1) slowly.
2. To light with spark lighter, open valve (1) slowly before sparking. Hold spark lighter at a 45° angle to the torch opening (3).
NOTE:
It is very difficult to light with valve fully open.
3. For hottest, most efficient flame, adjust inner blue flame of MT200C to 1-1/2 to 2 inch length; adjust inner blue flame of
MT425C to1/2 to 3/4 inch.
4. If ignition does not occur immediately upon opening the torch valve (1), close the valve and wait 5 minutes before
attempting to ignite again. Failure to follow this instruction could result in a build up of flammable gas which if ignited could
result in a fireball that could cause injuries and property damage. Do not open the valve and allow gas to flow through the torch without
attempting to ignite the torch.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
As a safety feature, the burner may snap if the torch is dropped, in which case the burner must be replaced.
STORAGE
REMOVE CYLINDER FROM TORCH WHEN NOT IN USE
1. Make sure valve is closed by turning flame adjustment knob fully clockwise until it stops. Hand-tighten only. Do not force.
2. When torch is cool, disconnect cylinder and store torch and cylinder separately and out of reach of children. Observe cautions on
cylinder label.
3. Do not expose cylinders to temperatures in excess of 120ºF.
4. Store cylinders in well ventilated areas.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
1. Make sure torch is cool before tightening or removing burner head, or before installing or removing accessories. Using a low flame can
cause damage to the burn tube and ignition system.
2. 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.
3. In cold weather the size of the flame will be smaller. To produce a larger flame, pre-warm the cylinder to room temperature prior to use.
