Product description
Note:
• The width adjuster (air controller) should not be used when igniting the torch.
• When used at high altitudes the torch may experience problems working with the flame
length adjuster set to maximum [ + ]. For best results it is recommended that the adjuster
is set half way between [ + ] and [ − ].
Switching off
The flame will extinguish when the ignition button is released.
