THIS PRODUCT USES EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE GAS
AND IS VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT USED CORRECTLY.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND
KEEP THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
CHILDREN
• Children are precious. Do not let them near this gas torch, EVER!
PERSONAL PROTECTION
• Always wear protective gloves.
• Avoid contact with eyes or skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. For
skin contact, flush with large amounts of water.
• Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor or spray. If inhaled, move to
where there is fresh air.
• Radiant energy can harm your eyes. Wear glasses or goggles
having appropriate UV protection.
VENTILATION
• Work only in well-ventilated areas. The fumes from fluxes,
cadmium plating, brass, zinc and galvanized metal are toxic.
• Do not use in a confined work area or enclosed space.
CYLINDERS
• Keep cylinders away from heat or flame.
• Keep cylinders out of reach of children.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
• Do not store in temperatures above 50°C.
• Do not use if the cylinder is leaking, or the torch is damaged or
malfunctioning in any way.
USING THE TORCH OUTDOORS
• Be cautious when using the torch outdoors on sunny or windy
days.
• Bright sun makes it difficult to observe the flame.
• Wind may misdirect the flame towards you or other unintended
areas or objects.
• Wind may further cause sparks to come in contact with unintended
combustible materials.
GENERAL USE
• Never use torch as a cigarette lighter.
• Never use the torch to strip lead paint.
• Never use the torch on or near an aerosol can or any container that
contains or has previously contained chemicals, or flammable
materials, liquids or gases. Heating these is extremely dangerous,
especially after they have been emptied.
• Be careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-fired products
and beware of any hidden fuel lines and tanks.
• When thawing pipes, be careful not to overheat surrounding parts.
• Heating a surface may cause heat to be conducted to adjoining
surfaces that may be combustible or become pressurised when
heated. Always check to make sure no unintended parts or
materials are being heated.

ASSEMBLY
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Before assembly, check all parts function correctly and are not damaged.
• Make sure valve is OFF by turning knob in direction of arrow until hand
tight only (a). DO NOT FORCE.
• Push the fuel cylinder firmly into the valve body (b) and turn clockwise until
hand tight (c). DO NOT FORCE.
LIGHTING
THE TORCH CAN BE LIT WITH
EITHER A MATCH OR A SPARK
LIGHTER
• To light with a match or naked
flame, hold as shown and open
the valve (a) slowly.
• To light with spark lighter, open
the valve (a) slowly before
sparking. Hold spark lighter at a
45° angle to the torch opening.
NOTE: It is very difficult to light with the
valve fully open.
• Do not open the valve and allow gas to flow through
the torch without attempting to ignite the torch.
• If ignition does not occur after approximately 20
seconds, close the valve and wait a few minutes
before attempting to ignite again. This will prevent a
build up of flammable gas in the air which could
easily ignite into a dangerous fireball.
• In cold weather the torch will be harder to light and
the size of the flame will be smaller. Pre-warming the
cylinder to room temperature will make the torch
easier to light and produce a larger flame.
• For the hottest, most efficient flame, adjust inner blue
flame to 40-50mm length.
STORAGE
REMOVE CYLINDER FROM TORCH WHEN NOT IN USE
• Turn the valve off.
• When the torch is cool, disconnect the cylinder and store the torch and
cylinder separately and out of reach of children. Observe cautions on
cylinder label.
• Do not store near any heat source or in a room used for habitation.
DISPOSAL OF CYLINDER
WHEN THE CYLINDER IS EMPTY
• Do not refill (it is illegal and unsafe). You will need to purchase a new one.
• Do not puncture or incinerate.
• Do not throw into a fire.
• Dispose of in a safe place where children can’t find it.
MAINTENANCE
WE RECOMMEND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE WHEN THE
TORCH IS USED REGULARLY
• Make sure the torch is cool before tightening or removing the burner head,
or before installing or removing accessories.
• Check all joints and couplings periodically to ensure there are no loose
connections. With valve open, without lighting, test all connections with
soapy water. If bubbles appear, gas is leaking and the torch must be
repaired. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Make this test in a
well-ventilated and spark-free area, and where there are no open flames.

USING
KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NEAR WHERE YOU ARE USING
THE TORCH AND WHERE YOU STORE THE TORCH
• Always use the torch in mainly an upright position. Tipping the gas cylinder
more than 60° from its upright position may cause the torch to flare. Never
use upside down. If the torch is moved rapidly, tilted too far to the side or
upside down, propane liquid can enter the valve and cause the flame to
flare or extinguish.
• Always point the torch flame away from your body, and never towards other
persons or any object that is flammable.
• Be aware that the tip of the torch can get extremely hot during use.
• Always make certain the torch is placed on a level surface when connected
to a gas cylinder to reduce the risk of accidental tip over.
• Never leave the torch unattended when lit.
• Disconnect the torch from the cylinder when not in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING
MY GAS TORCH DOESN’T BURN HOT ENOUGH
• Check that the gas bottle is not getting low.
• Adjust inner blue flame to 40-50mm length using the Flame Control Valve.
MY GAS TORCH WON’T IGNITE
• Check that the gas bottle is not empty.
• Ensure the Flame Control Valve is turned on full to allow maximum gas
before igniting.
