12. Do not use the burner if the function seems abnormal, if there is a sign of any kind of leakage, or if the burner has external signs of damage.
13. Detach the gas container from the burner when not in use.

Read the instruction manual and safety instructions before using the product, and store the manual for later use.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

• Power: 3,1 kW
• Gas type: propane gas, butane-propane gas mixture, propylene, MAPP-type gas
• Gas consumption:
  • 203,2 g/h with super cyclone nozzle
  • 135,2 g/h with cyclone nozzle
  • 47,2 g/h with focus nozzle
• Flame max. temperature:
  • 1212 °C with super cyclone nozzle
  • 1260 °C with cyclone nozzle
  • 1050 °C with focus nozzle
• Ignition: piezo ignition
• Valve: 7/16” EU threaded valve

Announced values for gas consumption and flame maximum temperature are from butane-propane gas mixture testing. Changing the gas type will significantly change the maximum temperature of the flame and it will also have an effect on gas consumption values. The gas burner includes 1pc super cyclone nozzle. All nozzles are available for the burner as extra accessories.

ATTACHING THE GAS CONTAINER

• Make sure that the gas control knob is turned to the”-” position, which is maximum clockwise rotation, before attaching a gas container.
• Always check before attaching a gas container that the O-ring seal inside the valve is in its place and intact.
• Keep the gas container and the burner vertically upright when attaching them together.
• Place the burner valve directly on top of the gas container valve, and turn the gas container into the valve. Hand tighten firmly, but be careful of over-tightening and using too much force which might damage the valve on the gas container.

IGNITION AND USE

• Make sure that the safety lock switch under the ignition button is set to ”unlock”.
• Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise for approximately ½-1 rounds to open the gas flow to the burner.
• Press the ignition button and keep pressed down to keep the flame lit. For long-time use, you can lock the gas flow on by pushing down the metal-colored flame-locking button, which is located above the ignition button. While this locking button is in a down position the gas flow will not stop even if you release the ignition button.
• Adjust the flame if needed by using the gas control knob. The recommended flame length is approximately 10-12 cm. Do not adjust the gas flow unnecessarily high to prevent excessive gas consumption and unstable flame.

SHUTDOWN AND STORAGE

• If the flame-locking button is pressed down, push the ignition button and release it to cut the flame. If the flame-locking button is not in the down position simply release the ignition button to cut the flame. If the burner is used upside down, it might take several seconds before the flame dies.
• Turn the gas control knob all the way clockwise to close the gas valve.
• Adjust the safety lock switch below the ignition button to the” lock” position for storage.
• Let the nozzle cool down completely before storage.
• Rotate the gas container carefully to detach it from the burner. During storage, keep the burner and gas container detached.
• Always store the burner in a dry place.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use this appliance unless you have read the instruction manual thoroughly and understood the contents. Familiarize yourself with the product and its functions carefully before taking it into use.
• Keep the burner out of reach of children.
• Only use the gas types allowed in the “technical specification” section. Using other gas types is forbidden and may cause a fire or an explosion.
• Only use the burner in combination with EN 417 standard-compliant gas container which is equipped with an EU (7/16”) threaded valve.
• Do not touch the nozzle or try to replace, tighten or remove it when it is still hot.
• Do not cool down the nozzle with water, but instead, let it cool down by itself.
• Do not point the burner nozzle toward yourself, other people, or flammable objects.
• Detach the gas container from the burner when not using the product.
• Do not attach or detach the gas container to the burner at places where accidentally released gas might be ignited by sparks or open flame.
• Do not modify the construction of the burner, add parts to it or remove fixed parts from it. Only use original Timco nozzle tubes as spare accessories.
• Handle the burner with care; do not subject it to hits or other excessive force. Do not try to twist or rotate the nozzle tube in a different position.
• Do not use the burner if the function seems abnormal, if there is a sign of any kind of leakage, or if the burner has external signs of damage.
• Only use in well-ventilated spaces.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight when the burner is attached to a gas container.
• The blue flame from the burner can be nearly invisible in bright light. Operate with caution.
• Place the item being worked on a non-flammable surface that can resist high temperatures.
• Always wear protective glasses and gloves.
• Due to fire risk always keep a fire blanket, fire extinguisher, or a water bucket close by when operating the gas burner.
• Make sure the burner is completely cooled down before storage.

OTHER NOTES

• In cold temperatures, the gas pressure coming from the gas container might be lower than normal, which leads to a smaller-than-desired flame. Avoid storing the gas container in too cold ambient temperature.
• The burner is equipped with an Anti-Flare function, which allows usage of the burner at any angle/position.
• Despite the Anti-Flare function, when the burner is used in an inverted position in cold conditions, the flame might extinguish by itself.
• When gas pressure is low the flame might become unstable or start flaring if the burner is used in an inverted position.

CHANGING THE BURNER TUBE

Remove the old burner tube by twisting the black plastic tightening ring slightly counter-clockwise. Pull the old burner tube directly off the burner. Note the plastic ridges on the plastic stub of the tube (picture 1), and align them with the grooves on the burner socket (picture 2). Make sure that the nozzle points to the front side of the burner (picture 3) and push the burner tube directly downwards in its place (picture 4). Push down the plastic tightening ring and twist clockwise as long as it goes (picture 5). The burner is now ready for use with the new burner nozzle in place (picture 6).

WARNING
NEVER TRY TO TWIST THE BURNER TUBE OR APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE OF ANY KIND ON IT. THE LOCKING RIDGES OF THE TUBE CAN GET BROKEN IF HARD HITS OR TWISTING FORCES ARE APPLIED TO THE TUBE.
