SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the safe use of the
blow torch. The following safety instructions are a guide only, and not an
exhaustive list of potential hazards.
NOTE : The torch is for use with propane only.
- Check torch and hose are in good condition and not damaged. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
- Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
- Use and store gas cylinders in accordance with all government and local authority regulations applicable to such items.
- Turn the gas cylinder tap on first, then the regulator, and finally the torch tap. Reverse procedure to shut off.
- Ensure nothing is standing or passing in front of the torch as the torch is ignited, and ensure you use a controlled source of ignition.
- Ensure continuous ventilation is provided to the torch operating area, and that the area is clean and tidy.
- The use of safety gloves is recommended. Remove ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
- Always keep an appropriate fire extinguisher at hand.
- Ensure there are no nonessential persons in the working area.
- Ensure the torch is correctly turned off when not in use.
- DO NOT point a torch at yourself or others. DO NOT leave the torch lying unattended. Place in an appropriate holder when pilot only is operating, or to cool.
- DO NOT use a torch near flammable material, liquids, solids, or gases, and materials that may be accidentally ignited i.e. wood, cloth, plastic etc.
- DO NOT point the torch at the gas cylinder or hoses, and DO NOT use the torch to remove any ice that may form on the gas cylinder.
- DO NOT heat items the substance of which (or surface residues) contain any materials that become hazardous when heated.
- DO NOT operate the torch when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
- DO NOT touch the torch or the workpiece until all parts have completely cooled.
- DO NOT allow untrained persons to ignite or use the torch.
- DO NOT leave the torch operating when unattended.
- DO NOT try to make the torch “nozzle hole” larger.
WARNING! If the torch is used for prolonged periods at maximum power, ice may form on the propane cylinder. This is due to excessive evaporation. In such a case DO NOT use the torch to de-ice the cylinder.
INTRODUCTION
Professional torch and accessories for jobs including, but not limited to, plumbing, soldering, and braze-welding. Provided with a Nitrile Butadiene Rubber hose which has excellent resistance to oil, fuel and chemicals, making it ideal for the workshop environment. Hose connectors rotate 360° for ease of use and to prevent twists and kinks in the hose. Quickly and easily fixed between torches using the integrated fixing wrenches on the hose. The soldering and brazing torch features a turbo trigger which intensifies the flame whilst pressed. Supplied in a metal case for storage and transport.
OPERATION
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the safe use of the blow torch.
CONNECTING THE TORCH TO THE GAS CYLINDER. THE TORCH SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH PROPANE GAS and must be used in conjunction with the pressure regulator supplied. The torch will work with pressures between 1 – 7 Atm. See Table below for description of power/energy consumption.
- Ensure that the rubber hose for connecting the torch to the regulator/gas cylinder is in good condition.
- For LPT7 the burners connect directly to the torch. For LPT14 select either the short or long extension and connect it to the torch.
- Then select the desired burner for the task in hand and attach it to the torch (or extension) ensuring that the joints are properly seated and fully tightened.
- Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder and connect the torch using the rubber hose ensuring that the hose connections are properly seated and fully tightened.
LEAK TESTING
Before lighting the torch all connections must be leak tested using a thick
soap solution such as washing up liquid or ideally a proprietary leak
detection spray. Close the burner control on the torch. Open the gas cylinder
tap and then the regulator. Spray every joint on the regulator, hose and torch
with leak detection fluid and check for leaks. Tighten any joints as necessary
and retest. If any joints still leak turn off the gas, disassemble and
investigate. On LPT14 check condition of “O ring” seals. Do not proceed to
lighting the torch until all joints are gas tight.
IGNITION
NOTE: Pilot light control. The burners on the LPT7 are fitted with a
pilot light control in the form of a brass sleeve on the burner tube which
will slide over the air inlet holes at the base of the burner stem (see
fig.2.3.). This has the effect of turning a blue flame to a more visible
yellow flame when only a pilot light is required. (Only the pipe heating
burner on the LPT14 has this feature.)
- Ensure that the burner control tap (fig.2.1.) is turned off.
- Open the gas cylinder tap first and then screw the regulator tap downwards to open it.
- Open the control tap (1) a small amount only until the gas can be heard escaping .
- Draw your flame igniter up to the underside of the torch burner opening.
- Once the torch “pilot”has ignited remove and extinguish the source of ignition.
- USING THE TORCH If the flame is set for a yellow pilot light slide the pilot light sleeve away from the air inlet holes so that the flame burns blue.
- For increased flame intensity depress the trigger. (fig.2.2.)
- Release the trigger to return the flame to the “pilot” light.
- Flame intensity can be controlled using the burner control tap (fig.2.1.). As the tap is opened up the flame gets larger. As the tap approaches fully open the trigger is overridden and only comes back into play again when the tap is partly closed.
- Turn the control tap (1) off to extinguish the torch completely, and then turn the gas cylinder tap off.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before commencing service or maintenance turn all gas taps off
and disconnect the torch from the gas supply.
NOTE : From time to time the burner nozzle and injector may require
cleaning. Refer to relevant section below.
LPT7 MAINTENANCE
To dismantle the nozzle and injector from a burner insert a 4mm hex key into the hexagonal hole to be seen in the base of each burner stem. Unscrew the injector from the nozzle using a 7mm socket or spanner. Wash the nozzle and injector carefully in petrol or similar cleaning fluid. DO NOT dislodge the filter gauze to be found in the base of the fine injectors. Blow out the injector with compressed air from the filter end only. WARNING! DO NOT clean the injector with a thin steel wire as this may enlarge the hole in the injector making it unsafe to use and invalidating your warranty. Reassemble ensuring that the loose connector nut is held in place by the injector/nozzle assembly.
LPT14 MAINTENANCE
The nozzle/injector assemblies are mounted at the base of each burner head
and serve to connect the heads to the torch extensions. Unscrew the
nozzle/injector from the burner head using a 13mm spanner. Unscrew the
injector from the nozzle and proceed as above.
