4. Setup
4.1 Butane Refilling
The torch is shipped without butane gas due to safety regulations. Please follow these steps to refill your torch:
- Ensure the torch is turned off and cooled down.
- Use a high-quality butane gas canister with a long nozzle.
- Invert the torch and firmly press the butane canister nozzle into the refill valve at the base of the torch.
- Hold for approximately 5-10 seconds until the torch is full. A slight overflow may occur, which is normal.
- Allow a few minutes for the gas to stabilize before attempting to ignite.

|---|---|---|
| Torch does not ignite. | No butane gas; safety lock engaged; air in tank. | Refill with butane; disengage safety lock; purge air by pressing refill valve with a small tool. |
| Flame is weak or inconsistent. | Low butane level; gas flow regulator setting; air in tank. | Refill butane; adjust gas flow regulator; purge air. |
| Gas leaks from refill valve. | Improper refilling technique; faulty valve. | Ensure proper nozzle fit and firm press during refilling; contact support if issue persists. |
