5. Setup
5.1 Butane Refill
The torch is shipped without butane fuel. It must be filled before first use.
- Ensure the torch is completely cool and the flame adjustment is set to the minimum position.
- Hold the torch upside down.
- Insert the nozzle of a high-quality butane fuel canister vertically into the refill valve at the bottom of the torch.
- Press down firmly for approximately 5-10 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound as the gas transfers.
- Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure a full refill.
- Wait a few minutes after refilling for the gas to stabilize before attempting to ignite the torch. This allows any excess gas to dissipate and the internal pressure to equalize.
Note: Always use a reputable brand of triple-refined or higher butane fuel for optimal performance and longevity of your torch.
