Miniature Torch  (640-2164)         Operation          Faxback Doc. # 16431

LIGHTING AND OPERATING THE TORCH

1.  Before lighting the Torch, push the flame guard so that one row of
    holes is beyond the tip of the burner manifold.

2.  Hold the torch in an upright position for lighting and operation.

3.  Turn the red knob counterclockwise, and light the Torch with either a
    match or candle.  If the flame will not light, reduce the gas flow by
    turning the knob clockwise and light.

4.  After the Torch is lit, gradually increase the flow of gas until the
    keeper flame is visible beyond the flame guard.  The keeper flame is
    the key to correct operation of the Torch.  As long as your several
    keeper flames remain lit.  your main flame will stay on.

    You will note, that as you turn the Butane flow down, the keeper flames
    become smaller until finally the flame will go out, even though the
    Butane is still flowing slightly.  MAKE SURE YOU GENTLY SNUG THE GAS
    FLOW OFF BEFORE YOU PUT AWAY YOUR TORCH.  If you turn up your gas flow
    too high, the keeper flames will be blown out and so will  the main
    light blue hot flame.

5.  When operating the Torch, adjust your flame so that you are not using a
    larger flame than your job requires.  The hottest flame is at the tip
    of the light blue flame, about an inch and a half from the end of the
    Torch.

REPLACING THE CYLINDER

When your cylinder runs out of butane, first make sure no open flame is
present then open the red valve at the top about four full turns.  Then
loosen the black thumb screw at the bottom to release the used cylinder. 
Make sure your cylinder gasket is in place in the cylinder entry hole at
the top.

Press the new cylinder top up into the hole at the top.  Center the
cylinder in the frame and tighten up the black thumb screw on the bottom of
the cylinder until the cylinder is firmly in place.  Then pierce the
cylinder.

Remember, it is when piercing a new cylinder that you can plug the orifice
cup.  Make sure no flame is present when you clean the Torch.
