GAS FILLING
Fill only in a well ventilated area.
The soldering iron runs on butane gas
such as used with ordinary cigarette
lighters. A small amount of liquid gas
should be visible through the gas
inspection window, gas vapour alone
will not generate sufficient pressure.
Do not overfill.
lMake sure the on/off switch is
in the “O” (off) position before filling.
lHold unit vertically with the
filling valve upwards. Push the gas
re-fill cylinder down onto the filling
valve. The flow of gas from the re-fill
cylinder to the soldering iron
depends on gravity (See fig. 2).
CHANGING THE TIPS
CAUTION: Allow the tip to cool completely before removing.
Tips are easily removed or installed, by unscrewing the tip retaining
collar and sliding the tip retainer tube off the front end burner.
Replace the tip and reassemble in the reverse order. (See fig. 3)
IGNITION SEQ ENCE
The unit is ignited by a piezo-electronic system. The gas “on/off”
switch is marked “I-0”. The ignition switch is marked with a " ".
lSoldering, hot air, hot knife: Fit tip of choice and secure with
retention sleeve/collar. Turn temperature regulator button to Max.
setting. Hold away from face and body and push the gas switch
toward the tip, this will release the gas. 'Click back' on piezo
ignition switch and allow to return while still maintaining light
thumb pressure on the switch, this enables the gas flow interrupt
mechanism to extinguish the ignition flame, and allows the
catalyst to assume combustion control. A glowing catalyst, in the
exhaust port, will confirm correct operating mode.
lBlow torch:
N.B. The flame is difficult to see under certain lighting situations.
Remove only the tip. Turn temperature regulator to mid setting.
Turn gas on as above. ‘Click back’ on piezo ignition switch and
quickly release (the internal spring will provide sufficient speed).
If the speed of return of the piezo switch is slowed slightly by
finger pressure, the gas flow interrupt mechanism may extinguish
the flame. Experience will dictate. Set low to medium settings as
the flame may "blow itself out' at high gas flow.
lTo Switch off: Push the gas switch away from the tip “O” (OFF).

SAFETY G IDELINES
lAlways use with care. Your soldering iron contains flammable
gas under pressure.
lAlways keep out of the reach of children.
lAlways refill with a high quality butane cigarette lighter fuel.
No other fuel type should be used.
lAlways ensure the flame is extinguished before putting down.
Caution: Hot gases 580°C are emitted from the exhaust port.
lAlways ignite the soldering iron with the tip pointing away from face
and body. Excessive gas flow, flaming or the catalyst pulsing red
to black may occur when igniting or when the regulator is set
too high.
lAlways allow the tip to cool sufficiently before touching.
lAlways ensure that you are in a well ventilated area. This
product, when used for soldering and similar applications,
produces chemicals. Never inhale vapours from fluxes,
plastics, foams etc.
lAlways dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
lNever leave unattended.
lNever drop.
lNever use if the soldering iron is damaged.
lNever expose to heat above 50°C and avoid prolonged exposure
to the sun.
lNever puncture or incinerate.
lNever refill, ignite or use near flame or combustible materials.
lNever replace cap without first switching off and ensuring the tip
has cooled.
lNever attempt to dismantle, readjust or repair. The soldering iron
is not user serviceable.
lNever “carry on” or “check in” baggage containing this item
without confirming with the airline first that this is acceptable.
