How to use

Refill the torch with butane following the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure connections are secure before operation. Adjust the flame control to a low setting for fine soldering or to a higher setting for heating and brazing. Ignite the torch using the built-in ignition mechanism, hold at a safe distance and direct the flame to the workpiece, moving continuously to avoid overheating any single spot. Allow the torch and the heated components to cool before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use the torch in a well-ventilated area, keep flammable materials away from the working zone, and wear appropriate eye and hand protection. For precision electronics work, use a lower flame setting and maintain steady hand movements. Store the torch with the fuel valve closed and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
