INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read instructions carefully and understand before using. Use with care as this
tool contains flammable butane gas under pressure. Do not expose to fire,
flame, or temperatures in excess of 120°F, (50°C) e.g. back shelf of car on
sunny day, etc. Hold away from body and face when lighting. Keep out of reach
of children.
SAFETY WARNING – PRESSURISED CONTAINER
- Do not expose fuel reservoir (tank) to temperatures in excess of 120°F (S0°C)
- Excessive gas flow, flaming, or catalyst pulsingred, may occur when the regulator is incorrectly adjusted (i.e. set too high). It is essential to ignite the tool with the tip pointing away from face and body.
- Do not use or ignite near combustible substances.
- The cap can be replaced when hot; however, care must be taken to avoid touching the cap with the tip while sliding into place, otherwise damage to the cap will certainly occur.
- Be certain that flames are completely out before setting the tool down
Flame Tip
Use low to medium settings. Flame may “blow itself out” at high gas flows.
NOTE: Flame is difficult to see in certain lighting situations.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Tip temperature and gas flow can be adjusted by turning the temperature
regulator button (filling end) within the HI/LO range. It is not necessary for
the tip to glow bright red to achieve satisfactory soldering temperatures.
Experience will dictate the temperature setting required.
GAS FILLING (FIG. B) Gas switch must be in the OFF position before
filling
Adaptors are not normally required when refilling. To fill, hold butane refill
above tool, as fuel fill is dependent on gravity and pressure. Keep can and
tool in truly vertical position during refill. Do not refill at an angle. Stop
filling when gas spills from valve. The special venting valve allows quick and
easy charging.
TIP REPLACEMENT (Fig. C)
Soldering, hot air, and other lips are easily removed or installed, by
unscrewing the retaining collar and sliding the tip, collar, and nut over the
ignition assembly. Remove the tip, and replace with new or alternate tip.
Slide back into place and screw into position. See Fig. D for tip list.
GAS TYPE
The tool operates on filtered butane gas, Weller Cat. No. WB1 or WB2. Some gas
should be visible through the transparent section within the temperature
regulator button; gas vapor alone will not generate sufficient pressure.
IGNITION SEQUENCE (Fig. A}
The P2C is ignited by a piezo-electronic system. The Gas On/Off switch is
marked “GAS”. The ignition switch is marked with a “lightning strike” logo.
CAUTION: After use the tip and retaining collar may still be hot. Allow to cool sufficiently before touching.
Soldering, Hot Air, and Hot Knife Tips
Fit tip of choice and retaining collar. Turn temperature regulator button to
max. setting. Turn gas on by pushing forward on switch. Click back on piezo
ignition switch, and allow the switch to return. Glowing catalyst in the tip
exhaust ports will confirm operation
CAUTION: Hot gases of 1076°F+ (580°C+) are emitted from the tip exhaust ports Do not leave the P2C unattended If placing on surface, leave ports facing upwards and rest iron on the cap as per Fig E
