GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. Do not try to operate before reading instructions. Do not use
this torch until you understand all the instructions and cautions.
Familiarise yourself with the torch before lighting or using. Review
instructions and cautions periodically to maintain awareness.
Deviating from these procedures may result in fire, explosion, and
property damage and/or operator injury.
2. Do not point torch towards face, other persons or flammable
objects. Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette lighter.
3. The torch should never be stored attached to the bottle.
4. Never attempt to modify the torch construction and never use
unapproved fuel or accessories.
5. Treat the torch as you would any fine tool or instrument. Do not drop
or otherwise abuse.
6. Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning torch, do not
use the torch until you correct the problem. Torches improperly
operated, maintained or repaired can be dangerous. Improper use,
service, repair, or modification of the torch could result in damage
to the product, property damage or personal injury to the operator.
Increases chance of bottle explosion.
7. Work only in well ventilated areas.
8. Avoid contact of flux with skin or eyes. Avoid the fumes from fluxes,
lead based paint and all metal heating operations. They may emit
dangerous flames when heated with a torch. Breathing these flames
is hazardous to your health. Be especially careful to avoid fumes
from cadmium plating and galvanized metal – remove these coatings
in the area to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating.
9. Always place your work on firebrick. Ordinary brick and concrete
can explode when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT work on
wood or metal surfaces. Always shield your work.
10. Always wear protective gloves and use proper tools to handle hot
work.
11. 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 especially
careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline – powered products
and beware of hidden fuel lines and tanks.
12. Always make certain the torch is placed on a level surface when
connected to the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of accidental tip
over. Be sure torch is not pointed in a direction that would cause
nearby objects to ignite when torch is set down.
13. When thawing pipes, be very careful not to overheat surrounding
materials.
14. Always have a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water near the torch
and work area. Do not place them in the flame path or in a location
where you could not reach them should a fire break out.
