- For continuous operation, press the lock button after ignition. To release, press the lock button again.
Shutting Down
- Turn the gas control knob fully clockwise until the flame extinguishes and the gas flow stops completely.
- Allow the torch head to cool down naturally before handling or storing. Do not touch the hot parts of the torch.
- Once cool, disconnect the gas cartridge if storing for an extended period.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Torch does not ignite. | No gas flow, empty gas cartridge, faulty igniter, or clogged nozzle. | Ensure gas control knob is open. Replace gas cartridge. Check igniter for spark. Clean nozzle if necessary (ensure torch is cool and disconnected from gas). |
| Flame is weak or inconsistent. | Low gas pressure, nearly empty cartridge, or partial nozzle blockage. | Replace gas cartridge. Ensure gas control knob is fully open. Clean nozzle. |
| Gas leak detected. | Loose connection or damaged seal/cartridge. | Immediately turn off gas. Tighten connection. If leak persists, replace gas cartridge or contact support if torch is damaged. |
