If leaking still occurs the torch MUST NOT beused. DO NOT ATTACH OR DETACH TORCH WHERE OPENFLAMES CAN IGNITE ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED GAS. Crossedthreads may result in the sudden escape of extremely flamma-ble gas. Examine the torch’s o-rings for cuts or other damages.Do not use torch with damaged or cut o-rings. The completeorifice/o-ring adaptor must be serviced by Magna’s factory.This torch has a special orifice installation process and shouldONLY be changed by Magna’s factory. Do not use torch with acylinder tipped more than 60˚ from the upright position as thismay cause the torch to flare. Turn the adjustment knob coun-ter-clockwise about a 1/8th to 1/4th of a turn, the gas willblowout with a light ”hiss” sound from the torch. Press “ignitionbutton” and the flame will ignite instantly. If torch does notignite, increase or decrease gas flow and repeat ignitionprocess. Low gas flow will cause the tube tip to turn red hot.Continued use in this manner may cause damage to the ignitersystem.Torch should be directed in a safe direction away from peopleand objects. Use only Propane Fuel with this torch. Use of anyother fuel may damage your torch and may cause seriousharm. Make sure the on/off adjustment knob is in “off” positionwhen installing a gas cylinder.
