#42520 SELF LIGHTING TORCH INSTRUCTIONS
• Avoid contact of ux with skin or eyes.
• Always wear safety glasses, protective gloves and use proper tools to handle hot work.
• Be aware that the tip of the torch can get extremely hot during use. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from
accidental burns.
• Never use the torch on or near combustibles. Be careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-red products and
beware of hidden fuel lines and tanks.
• Always make certain the torch is placed on a level surface when connected to the fuel cylinder to reduce the risk of
accidental tip over. Be sure the torch is not pointed in a direction which could cause nearby objects to ignite when the
torch is set down.
• Never leave the torch unattended when lit.
• Never attempt to repair or heat a gasoline tank, a chemical drum an aerosol can, a compressed gas container that held
ammable liquid or gas or any other chemical. Heating these is extremely dangerous, especially after they have been
“emptied”.
• When thawing pipes, be very careful not to overheat surrounding materials. Use heat shield.
• Always have a re extinguisher and a bucket of water near the torch and work area.
• This torch consumes oxygen and must only be used in well ventilated areas. Do not use in a conned space.
• Never attempt to light the torch with a setting that would result in a main ame less than one quarter inch (1/4”) long.
An excessively short ame will cause lighting di󰀩culties, will result in ine󰀩cient heating and may damage the ignition
mechanism.
• Always work in a clean, clear area: Remove anything adjacent to your workspace that could be mistakenly ignited, i.e.
paper items, containers, food scraps, cooking-oils & kitchen towels. Before igniting your torch, the only thing nearby
should be the item you plan to sear and your non-ammable work surface.
DO NOT DISCARD THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the torch is cool before lighting or removing burner head or before installing or removing accessories.
2. In cold weather the size of the ame will be smaller. To produce a larger ame, pre-warm the cylinder to room
temperature prior to use.
3.Never look into the burner tube or point in unsafe direction.
4. Turn ignition button to Unlock position.
5. Point the torch in a safe direction and pull ignition button toward you. Repeat if necessary. When ignition button is
released the ame is automatically extinguished.
6.To engage run-lock feature, press run-lock button down while ignition button is depressed.
7. To release run-lock, pull ignition button until run-lock button releases.
8. After ame is extinguished, turn ignition button to Locked position.

STORAGE
REMOVE CYLINDER FROM TORCH WHEN NOT IN USE
CAUTION: Tipping the gas cylinder more than 60 degrees from its upright position may cause torch to are. The
torch has a built-in regulator that controls pressure and reduces the risk of pulsating or yellow ames when used other
than upright. It is recommended to start working with a disposable hand torch cylinder at room temperature and to keep
torch upright as much as possible.
