(see manufacturers/suppliers instructions)
2. Ensure the gas hose is in perfect condition before use. If in doubt, have it
replaced.
3. Ensure all connections are fully secure before use.
4. Never transport the gas bottle by holding the regulator or gas hose.
5. NEVER point the torch at any person or animal.
6. Take great care when placing the torch down. Do not allow it to come
into contact with flammable surfaces, or any surface which could be
damaged by heat. Use the stand supplied with the PLK1074 to support the
nozzles clear of any supporting surface.

ASSEMBLY
NOTE: A bottle of propane gas is required for use with this equipment, capable of
delivering a pressure of 4 bar. (A regulator is provided)
1. Turn the knob on the regulator fully clockwise, then attach the
regulator to the gas bottle, ensuring it is tight.
2. Attach the hose supplied, to the regulator at one end, and the torch at
the other, noting that the hose connections have LEFT HAND THREADS, i.e.
turn them anticlockwise.
3. Attach the appropriate nozzle/burner to the torch where necessary.
If a nozzle/burner is already attached, remove it carefully, complete with
adapter (see illustration below). Unscrew the nozzle from the adapter and
replace with that of the desired type or size. Screw the adapter with nozzle
back on to the torch.
Note:
1. Model PKP411 requires the torch extension to be attached to the torch.
OPERATION
With the hose and regulator attached, and ensuring the gas tap on the torch
is closed, i.e. turned fully clockwise, open the gas regulator valve.
Gas will now be available at the torch, the volume of which will depend
upon the regulator valve opening.
Very gently, open the gas valve on the torch, ensuring the nozzle/burner is
pointing well away from people or property, and apply a flame to the end of
the burner. Model PKP411 is equipped with a piezo electric starter on the
torch extension. Press the button until ignition occurs. Adjust the gas valve
until the desired flame is achieved.
Some models have a control lever attached to the torch. This is used to
further regulate the gas flow and hence the intensity of the flame. When the
lever is released the flame will reduce to a pilot light.

In the case of the PC109 kit, the flame can also be adjusted by positioning
the clip-on sleeve provided, over the air holes in the circumferance of the
17mm screw-tipped nozzle.
Models PC216,
PKP411 and
PLK1074 have
a support arm
which can be
clamped to
the nozzle
extension to
steady the unit
at rest. This
should be
fitted to ensure the flame points upwards, away from any supporting surface.
MAINTENANCE
The torches are maintenance free, except for visual checks before use to
ensure all connections are secure, and the gas hose is in perfect condition. If
the nozzle becomes sooted, clean with a soft wire brush. DO NOT poke wire
etc, through the holes in the nozzle.
To remove the filter from the nozzle for cleaning, grasp the nozzle with a pair
of mole grips or very carefully secure in a vice, then unscrew the filter.
The parts on the following pages are all available from your CLARKE dealer.
