These torches are high-quality products tested individually and guaranteed in order to provide safe
and excellent performance. Note that the connection to the gas cylinder must be made with a rubber
hose approved by the laws of the country of use.
2. Before Use
Make sure the rubber hose is in good condition, the connection of the rubber hose to the cylinder
with hose clamps is tight and that the rubber can withstand the pressure.
3. Ignition
Open the cylinder tap and turn on slowly the tap of the torch. Bring a flame just under the burner.
4. Use
Adjust the flame intensity by opening or closing the tap. In case the device is provided with an
opening lever, reduce the flame to its minimum by turning the knob and operate the lever to get the
suitable flame intensity. The lever’s release involves an automatic and immediate return to the
minimum flame setup.
5. Maintenance
The use of dirty gas coming from the cylinder bottom may cause a partial blocking of the jet. To
clean it, remove the burner and the injector, and wash carefully with gasoline or a similar product, or
with thin wire. Do not widen the injector.
6. Interchangeable Burners
In case the instrument is supplied with interchangeable burners or you need additional ones,
remove the installed burner from the device together with the hexagonal adapter and assemble the
new one. Pay attention to the fit of the aluminium washer.
The WELD-108 is supplied with 40mm flat burners and 20mm welding and soldering burners. They
must be tightened up directly to the 17mm burner installed in the torch.
7. Important
Do not pull the rubber hose if connected to the gas cylinder. Verify the condition of the hose before
use. Replace it if damaged, cut or overheated. The hose must be changed within the expiring date
printed on the hose.
