3. Setup

3.1 Butane Refilling

The soldering iron is shipped without butane gas due to transportation regulations. You will need to purchase butane gas separately and refill the device before first use.

1. Ensure the device is completely cool and the gas flow adjustment ring is set to the "OFF" position.
2. Hold the soldering iron upside down.
3. Insert the nozzle of a standard butane gas canister into the "Inflatable Mouth" (refill port) at the bottom of the tool.
4. Press down firmly for approximately 10-15 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound as the gas fills. Do not overfill.
5. Wait a few minutes after refilling for the gas to stabilize before attempting to ignite.

3.2 Attaching Soldering Tips

The device comes with interchangeable tips for different applications.

1. Ensure the device is cool and the gas is off.
2. Carefully screw the desired soldering tip onto the end of the tool until it is secure. Do not overtighten.
3. To remove a tip, ensure the tool is cool, then unscrew it.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Ignition

This soldering iron requires an external ignition source.

1. Ensure the butane reservoir is adequately filled.
2. Slowly rotate the adjustment ring from "OFF" towards "ON" to allow a small amount of gas to flow. You should hear a faint hiss.
3. Bring an external flame (e.g., from a lighter or match) to the "Fire Place" area of the tool to ignite the gas.
4. Once ignited, adjust the flame/heat intensity using the rotate adjustment ring.

4.2 Temperature Adjustment

The flame temperature is adjustable up to 1300℃ (2372℉) and the soldering iron tip temperature up to 450℃ (842℉).

• Rotate the adjustment ring towards "ON" for higher heat/larger flame.
• Rotate the adjustment ring towards "OFF" for lower heat/smaller flame.

4.3 Using as a Soldering Iron

1. Attach the desired soldering tip.
2. Ignite the tool as described in Section 4.1.
3. Allow the tip to heat up for a few moments.
4. Apply the hot tip to the joint to be soldered, then introduce solder to the heated joint.

4.4 Using as a Mini-Torch

To use the tool as a mini-torch, remove the soldering tip. The direct flame can be used for various heating tasks.

1. Ensure the tool is cool and the gas is off. Remove the soldering tip.
2. Ignite the tool as described in Section 4.1.
3. Adjust the flame size as needed using the adjustment ring.
4. Direct the flame carefully to the desired area.

4.5 Shutting Down

To turn off the tool, rotate the adjustment ring fully to the "OFF" position. Ensure the flame is extinguished and the tool begins to cool.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Tips

• After use, allow the soldering tip to cool completely.
• Wipe the tip with a damp sponge or brass wool to remove any solder residue. Do not use abrasive materials that could damage the tip plating.
