TEMPREATURE CONTROL
The blue part of the flame is the hottest. A simple way of
controlling temperature is the distance of the blue flame to
the object you are heating. If you need gentle heat this can
be obtained by distance.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Primary branded aerosol butane gas can be bought
from most newsagents and tobacconists, also from tobac-
conist’s counters in leading supermarkets.
GAS FILLING
Always fill outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Only use primary branded aerosol butane gas.
Make sure the on/off gas flow control knob is in the ‘off’
position. To do this, turn clockwise fully to the ‘-‘sign on
the blowtorch.
Turn the unit upside down and insert fill stem into fill valve
and press down for 3-4 seconds, repeat three times. Back
spray from fill valve indicates that appliance is full.
After filling, allow two minutes for the gas to stabilise.
Always read and follow all instructions and cautions on the
fuel canister.
IGNITING
Slide the safety lock to the ‘off’ position.
Turn gas flow control knob anti-clock wise in a 2/3 circle.
Gas will flow with a hissing sound from flame guard.
Press ignition button to ignite flame. Slide the safety lock
to the lock on position.
Do not add attachments to the end of the gas refill canister
as the valve is designed to accept the gas direct from the
gas can without adaptors added. (These adaptors usually
provided for cigarette lighters.)
FLAME ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the flame length during use by turning the gas flow
control knob.
Adjust the flame intensity/width during use by sliding the
flame adjuster as far left as possible.
