SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never modify or repair the product in any way – the risk of personal injury and/or material damage.

• Only use parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the product if it is damaged, or worn.

• Check all the connections for leakage with soapy water before use. Never do a leakage test with a naked flame.

• Use an approved gas cylinder of 5, 11, or 33 kg. Connect and/or replace gas cylinders outdoors. Do not smoke when connecting or replacing the gas cylinder, and keep it away from sparks and naked flames.

• Keep the gas container at a safe distance from sources of heat when the product is in use. Make sure that the gas cylinder and hose do not come into contact with the surface you are working on.

• Never leave the product unattended when it is lit. The product and the surrounding area get very hot when in use – the risk of burn injuries. Avoid contact with hot parts and wait until they have cooled before transporting and/or putting them into storage.

• Avoid inhaling any smoke or fumes produced when in use.

• Only use the recommended type of gas cylinder.

• Do not block ventilation holes in the cylinder cover. Keep ventilation openings in the cylinder cover clean.

• Do not store or use petrol or other flammable substances on or about the product.

• Check at regular intervals that the gas regulator seal is correctly fitted and tight by checking for leakage.

• Inspect and replace the gas hose as described in the instructions.

• The product must not be used in enclosed areas – this could result in personal injury or death.

• Do not use the product indoors, as this would risk personal injury or property damage.

• Do not use the product in an explosive environment, e.g. near flammable liquids, gas, or dust.

   FIG. 1

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING OF CARRIAGE

1. Press together both parts of the carriage so that they click in place.

   FIG. 2

PREPARATIONS

1. Connect the hose to the regulator.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the burner handle.
3. Check the connections for leakage with soapy water. Replace the gas hose after 5 years, or if leakage is suspected.
4. Check that the product is extinguished and cold. Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go.
5. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder.

USE

LIGHTING

1. Point the nozzle down and away from your body.
2. Open the knob over the regulator halfway. Open the knob on the handle a little so that a faint hissing noise is heard when gas flows through the nozzle.
3. Press the piezo lighter one or more times until the spark lights the flame. Adjust the pilot flame with the knob. If the gas does not ignite this can be because the flow of gas is too strong. In which case, reduce the flow of gas with the knob.
4. The burner is activated by pressing the burner handle. The flame can be adjusted with the knob.
5. Releasing the burner handle returns the burner to the pilot flame.

SWITCHING OFF

1. Close the regulator on the gas cylinder.
2. Wait until the flame goes out, which shows that there is no gas in the hose and then close the valve on the gas burner.

MAINTENANCE

• Check the gas hose at least once a month, when replacing the cylinder, before putting the product away, and before using the product again. Replace the gas hose with a  hose of the same quality and length if it is damaged.

• Check the gas system (gas hose, gas regulator, pilot flame, nozzle, etc.) for damage and leakage before use.
  The entire system should be inspected by qualified personnel at least once a year.

• Keep the burner clean to avoid danger.

• Do not use a flammable or corrosive detergent to clean the product.

• Repairs must be carried out by an authorized service center.
