Never allow a propane cylinder to tip while in use. Never allow the heat from the forge to heat the propane cylinder. Never leave a hot forge unattended, even if the fuel is shut off and be cautious of high temperature of the forge
parts immediately after forging session. Never store a propane cylinder indoors. Inspect your propane cylinder (especially the valve), your regulator (especially the connector to the cylinder and
its O-ring) and your burner (especially the hose) for any signs of wear or problems. Do not install the regulator if you see any sign of problem. Install the regulator by hand, without tools, until the nut (left-hand thread, remember) is fully seated. Immediately tighten the nut with a wrench. Do not over tighten the nut, as this will only ruin the connectors. Always shut down the forge by turning off the fuel at the cylinder, then backing off the regulator knob (as a safety precaution.) When finished a forging session, remove the regulator from the cylinder and take the cylinder to its outside, storage area at once. Allow the forge to cool for at least a half an hour before you leave the area. This is to prevent accidental fires from going undetected.

Assembly Instruction
Unpacking: Unwrap all the mentioned parts including identification sticker as above list with type of forge.
Step -1 Surface Preparation by placing Refractory Fire Brick/ Castable
Step-2 Place Forge Body over the prepared surface
Step-3 PART-A, PART-B & PART-C are pre-assembled parts of burner. At the top of the PART B you can see wing nut with washer which can be rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise direction to regulate the air flow pressure while firing.
Step-4 Connect the burner at the top of the FORGE with the help of the coupling and adjustable screws.
Precautions: Please make sure that burner's nozzle end does not cross over inside insulation of forge
Step-5
Fill the gaps between burner and forge by using complementary ceramic fiber blanket
Step-6 Now connect PART D to the PART C, Which is gas hose pipe, it's one end connects with Burner's gas inlet pipe and another with the Gas Pressure Regulator (PART F). Tighten the clamps at both ends.
Step-7 Now connect Gas regulator with the propane cylinder. Don't forget that pressure regulator has left thread.
Step-8 Place the PART E inside the bottom of the Forge and over the ceramic fiber lining.
Step-9 Now Forge is ready for the firing.
Note: Please ensure that gas hose pipe is not in contact with the forge body before operating the forge. Due to
hot surface of the body it will get damaged.

Light up the Forge by using Lighter at the opening of the burner inside the Forge body. 5. Now adjust the gas flow using inlet valve and air flow using the wing nut to get the complete combustion of gas
and desired flame intensity. 6. Place the iron article to be forged inside the forge and under the flame using tongs. 7. Remove the article one it is red hot and ready for shaping, safely using tongs. 8. Close the gas our let valve of the propane cylinder and wait until fire in the forge stops. 9.
