GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A gas such as TF/ULTRA GAS - Performance Gas – MAPP®Replacement*or Propane
(referred to as fuel in this document) is liqueed in the cartridge and therefore the
contents of the cartridge can be estimated by the weight of the cartridge.
Oxygen is compressed gas within the cartridge and the difference between the
weight of a full cartridge and of an empty one is not easily recognised.
The oxygen regulator is tted with a high- pressure gauge that allows you to check the
contents of the oxygen cartridge. As the oxygen is stored in a gas state it is impossible to
ascertain the contents of the oxygen cartridge by the weight of it. When the oxygen cartridge
is full, the gauge should read 110 bar of pressure. This indicates that the oxygen cartridge
is full. When the oxygen cartridge is empty the gauge should read 0 bar of pressure.
The fuel regulator is tted with a low-pressure gauge that allows you to check
and control the delivery of the fuel released from the fuel cartridge.
The quoted approximate use times have been calculated considering a correct mixture
of oxygen and gas. Incorrect mixtures could alter these times considerably.
When storing this kit, we recommend removing the regulators from the cartridges completely.

hand tighten only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: It may be easier to screw the cartridges
onto the regulators in a clockwise direction.
Hand tighten only. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
IMPORTANT: Before lighting the ame
make sure that all connections have been
properly made. Check that there are no
leaks with the appropriate gas leak spray
or a solution of soapy water. Repeat this
operation every time a cartridge is replaced.
STAND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment is supplied with a
metal stand / cartridge holder.
1. Once you have connected the cartridges
to the regulators, slide each cartridge into
one side of the stand, making sure that the
buttery nut on the back of the stand is
screwed onto the bolt just enough to hold
the front metal cartridge strap in place.
2. Once you have both cartridges inserted
into the stand, tighten the buttery nut
until it stops. Do not over tighten as you will
damage the buttery nut or the centre bolt.
3. When inserting the cartridges make sure that
the hoses are not tangled, and the cartridges
are put on the correct sides of the stand
in order for the hoses not to be crossed.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The kit uses a non-rellable oxygen cartridge
(white) and a non-rellable gas cartridge
(yellow or blue). These must be purchased
separately. See specications on page 7.
Before beginning the work, ensure
the valves of the torch are closed.
Make sure that:
• The 11 torch oxygen valve is
completely closed by turning the blue
knob in a clockwise direction.
• The 12 torch fuel valve is completely
closed by turning the orange
knob in clockwise direction.
• The 2 oxygen cartridge regulator
valve is completely closed by turning the
blue knob in a clockwise direction.
• The 4 fuel cartridge regulator valve
is completely closed by turning the
orange knob in a clockwise direction.
• Both pressure regulators are completely
tightened on the cylinder (clockwise direction).
TO IGNITE
It is recommended that in normal use
the pressure regulator knobs are opened
completely, with ame adjustment controlled
by the torch knobs. For storage, transport
and cartridge replacement, the pressure
regulator knobs should be completely closed.
1. Turn the blue knob of the oxygen cartridge
pressure regulator 2in an anti-clockwise
direction until fully open. Turn the orange knob
of the fuel cartridge pressure regulator 4in
an anti-clockwise direction until fully open.
2. Turn the orange fuel knob of the torch 12
anti-clockwise to open and immediately
ignite the torch using an ignition source
(striker 16 included with the kit).
Note that if the fuel knob allows too
much fuel, the ame will not ignite.
3. Regulate the pressure of the fuel using the
fuel knob on the torch until the yellow ame
remains attached to the tip of the torch.

4. Slowly turn the blue oxygen knob of
the torch 11 anti-clockwise to open
until you obtain a light blue ame.
5. An excess of oxygen can cause the ame to
separate from the torch tip or to extinguish.
In this case close the oxygen and fuel valves
and repeat the operation from point 1.
The equipment is now ready to perform your work.
By regulating the amount of fuel and
oxygen it is possible to obtain several
different ames for carrying out different
types of work from heating to cutting.
We recommend only turning the fuel and
oxygen on once the material for work is
ready: this avoids wasting oxygen and fuel,
and reduces the risk of accidental ignition.
TO EXTINGUISH
1. Slowly close the blue oxygen knob of the
torch 11 by turning it clockwise. The
ame colour should change to a yellow
colour indicating that the oxygen has
now been removed from the ame.
2. Slowly close the orange fuel knob of the
torch 12 by turning it anti-clockwise. This
should then extinguish the ame all together.
3. Turn both the orange 4and blue 2
knobs at the regulators in a clockwise
direction. This will close off the gas
and oxygen at the regulators.
4. To purge the fuel and oxygen from the
hose and torch, turn both torch knobs
in an anti-clockwise direction for a
short period, then close again.
Storage
1. Always disconnect the regulators from
the cartridges when not in use.
2. Store the torch and cartridges
is a safe, dry place.
3. Keep out of reach of children.
4. Never expose cartridges to heat, sparks, or
ame. Never leave in direct sunlight. Never
store at temperatures above 49°C (120°F).
5. Never store in living spaces.
6. Never rell these cartridges. Relling
may cause explosion. It is illegal
to rell these cartridges.
7. Never put in luggage or take
on trains or aircraft.
8. To discard, contact local recycle centre.
Never put in re or incinerator.
Do not puncture.
