IGNITING AND ADJUSTING THE TORCH:
WORK COMPLETION – SHUTTING OFF THE TORCH
1. Connect the propane regulator to the gas bottle. Ensure that the connection is tight.
2. Then connect the recommended safety valve and only then connect the gas hose to the
safety valve and the propane handle. Again ensure the connections are tight.
3. Open the bottle cut-off valve first.
4. Then open the control valve on the tool (large control knob with +/- symbol). When using
small torches or freshly refilled gas bottles, allow the captured air to escape.
5. Ignite flame on lower edge of the torch nozzle.
6. Increase gas flow with the integrated valve for full output. Ensure that the flame aspect
does not burn away from the nozzle edge as it will reduce output and temperature.
7. Retention flame persists until the gas throttle is actuated. By pressing the economizer lever
the torch gains full capacity as previously set.
8. For short work interruptions release economizer lever and the tool reduces the flow of gas
and the retention flame returns. It is essential that the torch holder is mounted in full
accordance with the assembly diagram.
9. Avoid torsional stress of the hose.
Always close the torch valve. Reduce hose pressure to normal atmospheric pressure.
Before taking prolonged breaks or after work completion, close bottle valves and allow the
torch to burn off any excess gas. Then close gas regulator and allow hot parts to cool. Wait
until parts and components have fully cooled before disassembling and stowing gas
equipment.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT CONDITIONS
Before taking prolonged breaks or transporting equipment, always disconnect the hose from
the vessel. Always transport gas vessels in an upright position.
Warning: Compressed gas cylinders (and single-use oxygen bottles) are non-refillable
vessels. Refilling is prohibited by law and any attempt poses an urgent safety hazard.
Have refillable vessels filled by authorized, qualified stations. Improper refilling and handling
can lead to serious accidents.
