Gas-Fired Soldering/Brazing Set
Version 04/10
Item-No. 58 82 26
Intended Use
The product produces an adjustable jet-flame with a max. temperature of 1300°C. It has an in-
built piezo-ignition mechanism. The amount of gas (and thus the flame) to the gas-fired solde-
ring/brazing torch can be adjusted. The exchangeable tips enable the product can be used for
various purposes, e.g. soft or hard soldering.
The gas-fired soldering/brazing torch is to be filled and operated with lighter gas (ISO-butane
gas).
No part of the product may be modified or rebuilt!
The safety instructions are to be observed without fail!
Any other use, than that described above, could lead to damage to this product and involves a
risk for fire and explosion etc.
This product complies with the applicable National and European requirements. All names of

Safety Instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any consequen-
tial damage!
Nor do we assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by
improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The warranty
will be null and void in such cases.
a) In general
• For safety reasons, any unauthorised conversion and/or modification to the pro-
duct is not permitted.
• The product is not a toy and it should be kept out of the reach of children. Keep the
product out of the reach of children during as well as after use. Keep the product
in a place inaccessible to children! The same applies to the gas container, which
is used for refilling.
• The casing of the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch must not be opened or dama-
ged. It must not be placed in, or thrown into, a fire or naked flames! Risk of explo-
sion!
• Do not expose the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch to any mechanical stress. The
gas tank could start to leak (danger of fire and explosion!).
• If the product should become damaged or defective, dispose of it correctly. If gas
is still contained and is leaking, the product may have to be kept in an appropriate
outside location for a while, so the gas can escape. Ensure there is adequate ven-
tilation, keep a safe distance to all naked flames or ignition sources (risk of fire and
explosion!). Keep a safe distance from flammable objects, risk of fire!
• The gas-fired soldering/brazing torch must not be operated, filled or stored in areas
where explosive, easily flammable materials, combustible gases, vapours, dust, or
inflammable liquids (solvents, alcohol, benzene etc.) are stored or could be stored.
There is the risk of explosion or fire!
• Protect the product from dirt and damp. This may damage the product or cause
corrosion.
• Only move the only when it has cooled down completely; risk of burns or of fire!
The same applies to the storage of the product.
• For use in commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the
Employer’s Liability Insurance Association are to be observed.
• In schools, educational centres, hobby and self-help workshops the operation of
the product is to be supervised by trained employees.
b) Filling
• The gas-fired soldering/brazing torch must only be filled after it has cooled down
completely; otherwise, there is a risk of explosion!
• If the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch is damaged, it must not be refilled! There is
a risk of fire and explosion!
• Only fill the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch with commercial lighter gas in an ade-
quately ventilated environment. Avoid naked flames (explosion hazard!).
Observe the manufacturer’s safety and operating instructions, when refilling the
empty gas cartridge.
• Stop the filling process immediately, if gas escapes. A gas-air mixture could arise
that could explode. Make sure that the room is well ventilated before you ignite the
gas-fired soldering/brazing torch or other sources of ignition.
• After filling, the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch contains butane gas. Therefore,
it must be kept away from sources of heat and sunlight (>40°C); otherwise, there
is a risk of explosion!
• Do not remove or open the filling valves to allow the gas to escape. Risk of fire and
explosion!
c) Operation
• Only hold the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch by the grip. Always hold it so the
flame points away from you.
• When igniting and using the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch, keep it away from
your body and clothing.
• Never reach into the naked flame! Never touch the hot metal parts on the front of
the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch! This will cause serious burns!
• During shorter breaks, the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch can be put down on
the fold-out foot. If necessary, turn out the flame beforehand.
• Never leave the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch unattended while it is in use.
There is risk of fire.
• Let the product cool down completely before replacing the soldering tip, storing the
product (e.g. in the supplied storage box) or attaching the supplied protective pla-
stic cap. Otherwise, there is a danger of fire!
• During breaks, put the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch on a stable, even and
heat/fire resistant surface to cool down; make sure that it cannot roll or fall, risk of
fire!
• Always ignite the flame for no more than 15 minutes at any one time, otherwise the
casing of the gas-fired soldering/brazing torch could heat up too much (danger
burns!).
• Never ignite liquid or gaseous fuels (e.g. benzene, spirits, etc.) with the gas-fired
soldering/brazing torch, risk of explosion!
• Very hot air escapes from the side of the soldering bit. Therefore, take care that no
objects, cables, boards etc. in the vicinity are burnt during soldering.
• Never work on electrical components that are powered up. Disconnect the device
you want to solder from the power supply and check that it is current-free.
• Protect your body and eyes from soldering sparks and liquid tin solder. Wear sui-
table protective clothes and protective glasses.
• Vapours that are generated during soldering are hazardous to the health. If neces-
sary, use a suitable venting system or ventilate.
