Principles of Operation

This product uses a catalytic gas reaction system. The special catalyst contained in the tip is preheated with a butane flame. The preheated flame is extinguished when the shutter is closed over the ignition vent.

Chrome Plated Copper Base

Iron Plated

Butane gas continues to flow over the preheated catalyst generating infrared heat which is either conducted through the soldering iron tip or passed through the heat tip as hot gas.

Butane

Use only Master Ultratane butane with your Ultratorch.

Do not fill gas or store near open flame, heater, furnace or combustible materials.

Fill gas holding the unit firmly with the refill nozzle pointed upwards. Gas will overflow from nozzle when tank is full.

Ignition Instructions

button.

3. When windows turn red, turn the shutter lever to right and hold for 3 seconds.

Release lever, then it turns back automatically. Flame will turn off and the catalyst will start to react.

4. Tip temperature can be changed by adjusting the gas open/close knob.

5. To turn off unit - turn the gas open/close knob clockwise until knob is seated in locked position.

Use as a Soldering Iron or Heat Tool

1. Loosen knurled nut to remove tip and tip housing.

Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury or property damage, READ AND UNDER-

STAND the following warnings:

1. To prevent fire or damage to work surfaces, be sure hot air exhaust opening is positioned up. Hot air comes out of the exhaust opening in the tip. Keep combustibles and hands away from the opening.

2. To prevent fuel tank leakage, do not store in environmental area that exceeds 104°F/40°C (such as car dashboard or trunk, direct sun, glove compartment, or other enclosed, unventilated areas).

3. Be sure to turn “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” after use.

4. Do not perform maintenance or repair unless unit is completely cool. Be certain “ON/OFF” lever is “OFF”.

5. Wait for tips to cool before changing.

Keep hands and combustibles from tip area while in use.

6. When soldering or desoldering always review material safety data sheets (MSDS) for recommended precautions for safe handling and use of solder, solder paste, flux, conformal coatings and any other chemicals.

7. Store away from, and do not use in the presence of children.

8. Keep protective cap on unit while not in use.

9. Use only in well-ventilated area. Continuous or extended use indoors should be done only with a local exhaust ventilation to the outside.

10. Do not expose to open flame or other sources of high temperature.

11. To prevent clouding of window, do not use alcohol or alcoholbased cleaner.

12. Use only Master Appliance

Ultratane Butane Fuel to insure maximum safety and performance. MSDS upon request.

13. Always use safety glasses or goggles.

14. Do not fill gas or store near open flame, heater, furnace or combustible materials.

15. Do not misuse, abuse, alter or tamper.

16. It is your responsibility to follow your governmental regulations when disposing of this unit.

NOTE: When operating in extremes of temperature (hot or cold), at high altitude, ignition may be difficult due to the variation of gas pressure caused by these extremes. Gas control settings will also be affected and will vary from those under normal conditions.

If difficulties are experienced, please contact our Customer

Service Department who will advise on adjustment.

Warnings:

WARNING: This product, when used for soldering and similar applications, produces chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING: The Department of Transportation Hazardous material Regulations forbid the carriage of butane or other flammable gas products on passenger aircraft. Do not pack this item or any other flammable gas item, in any checked or carry-on baggage.

To Replace Ejector

HOW TO REMOVE

1. Loosen knurled nut and remove tip and tip housing.

2. Un-screw the screw with minus-head driver as illustrated.

3. Pull out the burner.

HOW TO MOUNT

1. Mount new ejector and tighten with minushead driver turning clockwise.

2. Insert the lead wire into the ceramic pipe on the burner and push until the burner does not go further.

4. Loosen the ejector by inserting the minushead driver and turn counter clockwise.

The ejector will come out when tilting the unit toward you.

lead wire

(Lead wire should be straight along with burner.)

3. Tighten the screw.

(The screw will not be tightened completely if the lead wire is not inserted properly.)

Storage of Your Ultratorch Heat Tool

1. Allow unit to cool and put protective cap on for storage.

2. If your unit is not going to be used for awhile, store in the following manner.

Store in proper location avoiding elevated temperatures and away from children.

3. Leave tank approximately 1/2 full so lubrication of fuel pickup filter stays wet.

4. Set flow control valve at setting X.

How to Empty Tank of Butane Gas if Needed

1. Only empty fuel tank in a well ventilated area and away from ignition sources. Remember butane is heavier than air.

2. Depress the filler valve at the back of the tank with a small bladed screwdriver and let the butane gas escape through the small orifice opening. It takes approximately one minute for the butane to escape from the tank. Be careful that the butane does not hit against your fingers or hands. This could cause frostbite of the skin.

3. One method is to poke a small bladed screwdriver through a piece of paper and then carefully depress the filler valve. The escaping gas will hit the paper and not your hand.

4. Never turn gas lever to “ON” and allow gas to evacuate through the ejector/tip. Doing this will clog the ejector and lead to premature failure.

5. Never try to unscrew the filler valve as it is adhesively bonded to the tank. Breaking of this bond will destroy the unit, causing the tank to leak.

Trouble Shooting

Problem

Does not ignite

Does not flame off

Tip does not heat up

Probable cause a. Empty tank b. Clogged ejector c. Too high or too low gas pressure d. Damaged burner

When make a low roaring sound, the flame is not turned off a. Used-up catalyst b. Insufficient gas pressure

Solution a. Refill with butane fuel b. Replace with new ejector c. Adjust gas open/close knob d. Replace with new burner

Turn the shutter lever again and hold for 3 seconds a. Replace with new tip b. Refill with butane gas
