EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE.
• Take precautions not to heat fuel tank.
• Contains flammable gas under pressure. Do not expose the torch or fuel to temperatures exceeding 120°F/49°C or prolonged sunlight.
• Never use torch in or around flammable fumes, liquids, or explosive materials.
• Never pierce fuel tank or expose torch to fire.
• Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor or spray. If inhaled, remove affected person to fresh air.
• Avoid contact with eyes or skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. For skin contact, flush with large amounts of water.

• Read and understand refueling instruction before refueling torch. Refueling the torch incorrectly can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
• Materials used in the construction of this device may contain brass (which may contain lead and cadmium) and the solder provided here contains lead, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Combustion by-products produced when using this device contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
• When used for soldering and similar applications, this product contains or produces chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Keep torch out of reach of children and anyone who has not read instructions. Do not point torch towards face, other persons or flammable objects. Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette lighter
• Always wear eye protection and gloves when lighting and using the torch.
• To avoid risk of damage to torch, always protect torch from impact and never allow torch to drop onto floor or hard surfaces. Never use a torch that appears to be damaged.
• Heating a surface may cause heat to be conducted to adjoining surfaces that may be combustible or become pressurized when heated. Always check to make sure no unintended parts or materials are being heated.
• Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning torch. If torch is leaking, contact manufacturer or retailer.
• Work only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid the fumes from fluxes, lead-based paint, and all metal heating operations.
Be careful to avoid fumes from cadmium plating and galvanized metal- remove these coatings in the area to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating.
• Ignite torch away from face, hands, clothing, or other flammable material.
• Extremely hot air escapes from exhaust ports on soldering tip assembly. Always rest torch on the stand supplied, even during short breaks, to avoid risk of damaging work surfaces or other flammable items. Extinguish torch during longer breaks. Never point exhaust ports toward eyes, face, hands, or other flammable items.

• Use caution when operating the torch outdoors on sunny or windy days. Bright sun makes it impossible to see the torch’s flame. Wind may carry the torch’s heat back towards you or other areas not intended to be heated. Windy conditions may also cause sparks to be blown into other areas with combustible materials.
• Burner nozzle and tip assembly become extremely hot during use and remain hot after extinguishing the torch. Take precautions not to touch torch tip until torch has cooled.
• Never use the torch on or near combustibles (fuels, rags, towels, paper products, etc.). Be careful around motor vehicles or any gasoline-fired products and beware of hidden fuel lines and tanks.
• Always make certain the torch is resting on the stand to reduce the risk of accidental tip over. Be sure the torch is not pointed in a direction which could cause nearby objects to ignite when the torch is set down.
• Never leave the torch unattended when lit.
• Never attempt to repair or heat a gasoline tank, a chemical drum an aerosol can, a compressed gas container that held flammable liquid or gas or any other chemical. Heating these is extremely dangerous, especially after they have been “emptied”.
• Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations forbids 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.
• Make sure torch is completely extinguished after use.
• Ensure that torch is completely cool before storing.
CAUTION
Exercise caution when using this device not to breathe vapors. Depending on the task being conducted with device
(wood burning, melting plastic, etc.) toxic or nauseating vapors may exist.
