 Sealedcontainers,evenifempty,mayexplode.Donotusetorchnear
combusblesyoudonotintendtoburn.
 Donotusethetorchinwindyorverydrycondionsinwhichthetorch

anypropanethatescapesfromtheSu‐VGunorpropanebolecanbe
exhaustedtotheoutsideair.
 ItisnormalwhenconnecngordisconnecngtheSu‐VGuntopropane
tohaveasmallamountofpropaneescapeintotheatmosphere.Aslong
asyouareinanopenandwell‐venlatedarea,thisisnocausefor
alarm;however,ifyouhearescapinggasortheodorofpropaneisper‐
sistent,youmuststopusingtheSu‐VGun.Ifyouareindoors,thenIm‐
mediatelyputoutallsmokingmaterialsandotheropenflames,and

medicalcondion,orduetotheeffectsofmedicaon,alcohol,tobacco,
ordrugs.Considerpurchasingapropanegasdetectorasanaddional
measureofsecurity.
 Odorfadeisanunintenonalreduconintheconcentraonoftheodor
ofpropane,makingitmoredifficulttosmell.Althoughrare,thiscanbe
causedbythepresenceofair,water,orrustinthecylinder.Newand
recondionedsmallcylindersthatsittoolongbeforebeingfilledare
pronetointernalrustwhenmoistureandairgetinside.Donotuse
