Setup
Follow these steps to prepare your torch for use:
- Ensure the flame control valve on the torch is fully closed by turning it clockwise until it stops.
- Align the threaded connection of the torch head with the valve on the 1-lb propane, MAPP, or MAPP-PRO fuel cylinder.
- Carefully screw the torch head onto the cylinder by hand. Tighten firmly to ensure a gas-tight seal. Do not overtighten.
- Check for gas leaks: Apply a soapy water solution to the connection point. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten the connection further or replace the cylinder if the leak persists. Do not use the torch if a leak is detected.

Flame Adjustment:
- To increase the flame size and intensity, slowly turn the flame control valve counter-clockwise.
- To decrease the flame size, slowly turn the flame control valve clockwise.
- Adjust the flame to the desired intensity for your specific task.
Extinguishing:
