
3.1. Assembly (Refer to fig.1)
3.1.1. Assemble the Soldering head into the Torch Nozzle and tighten the locking ring clockwise. The Soldering head can be moved forwards
and backwards.
3.1.2. Make sure the Exhaust vent faces upwards.
3.1.3. Disassemble the Soldering head by rotating the locking ring anticlockwise.
3.2. Ignition/Extinguishing (Refer to fig.1)
3.2.1. Face the Exhaust vent upwards, exhaust air will come out of Exhaust vent.
Caution: please keep away from any flammable source and away from other people. Facing the Exhaust vent downwards will damage
the surface of a desk or tabletop.
3.2.2. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position to release the gas.
3.2.3. Pull the soldering head forward to see the hole and the nozzle of the gas torch. Light the gas with an open flame (a lighter or a match)
by applying the flame to the ignition vents of the soldering tip.
3.2.4. Pull the soldering head backwards. The flame will then disappear inside the metal sleeves and begin to generate heat.

for the Soldering Iron).
3.5. Flame Adjustment (Refer to fig.1)
3.5.1. Move the gas volume control towards the higher numbered positions to increase the flame or towards the lower numbered positions to
decrease the flame.
Note: DO NOT start the flame at the higher numbered positions, the longer flame may cause the torch to flare or extinguish. Move the
gas lever to the '1' position and then set up the most efficient flame.
3.6. Refilling Gas (Refer to fig.1)
WARNING! Take care when refilling.

3.6.1. Before refilling please make sure the flame is fully extinguished and cooled down. Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
