NOTE: The torch is supplied without butane gas. Before use it must be fuelled as follows:
4.1. TO FUEL THE TORCH
4.1.1. Use only high quality butane gas (lighter fuel) to fill the torch.
4.1.2. Ensure the 'On/Off' switch is in the 'Off' position. See fig.3, 'Gas On/Off Switch'.
4.1.3. Follow the instructions on the butane fuel can.
4.1.4. Apply the can filler tip to the torch base filler valve (fig.1). Use a pumping action for best filling results.
4.1.5. Once full, allow gas in the torch to stand and stabilise for a few minutes before use.
NOTE: Before refilling, ensure that the filler valve and the probe on the can of lighter fluid are clean and free from dirt and debris.
Check that the correct filling adaptor is fitted to the lighter fluid refill can.
Ensure that the torch and the can of lighter fluid is at room temperature before commencing refill.
Lighter fluid is highly flammable – refill in a well ventilated place, away from any sources of ignition.
Fill in conjunction with the operating and safety instructions found on the can of lighter fluid.
If any spillages occur during the refilling process, allow plenty of time for escaped gas to evaporate before allowing sources of ignition in
the vicinity.
