4.2 Conexión del cilindro de gas

Ensure the torch's gas control knob is in the OFF position.
Align the torch's connector with the gas cylinder valve.
Screw the torch onto the cylinder hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution or a commercial leak detection spray. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, tighten the connection slightly or replace the cylinder/torch if the leak persists.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Encendido

Ensure the torch is securely attached to the gas cylinder.
Slowly turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to open the gas flow.
Press the ignition button (typically a red trigger) to ignite the flame. If the torch does not ignite immediately, release the button, adjust the gas flow slightly, and try again.

5.2 Ajuste de la llama

Adjust the flame intensity by rotating the gas control knob. Turn clockwise to decrease the flame and counter-clockwise to increase it. Aim for a stable, blue flame with a distinct inner cone for optimal heating.

5.3 Brazing and Soldering Techniques

When brazing or soldering, heat the workpiece evenly. Apply the flame to the joint area, moving it constantly to avoid overheating one spot. Once the metal reaches the appropriate temperature, touch the filler material (solder or brazing rod) to the joint. The heat from the workpiece should melt the filler material, allowing it to flow into the joint by capillary action.

5.4 Apagado

Turn the gas control knob clockwise until the flame extinguishes and the knob is in the fully OFF position.
Allow the torch to cool down completely before detaching it from the gas cylinder or storing it.

6. Mantenimiento

6.1 Limpieza

After each use, ensure the torch is cool. Wipe down the exterior of the torch with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the torch's finish or internal components.

6.2 Almacenamiento

Store the torch in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If detaching from the gas cylinder, ensure the cylinder valve is closed and stored upright in a well-ventilated area.
