torch to stand and stabilise for a few minutes before use.

NOTE: Before refilling, ensure that the filler valve and the probe on the can

of lighter fluid are clean and free from dirt and debris.

Check that the correct filling adaptor is fitted to the lighter fluid refill

can. Ensure that the torch and the can of lighter fluid are at room

temperature before commencing refill.

Lighter fluid is highly flammable – refill in a well ventilated place, away

from any sources of ignition. Fill in conjunction with the operating and

safety instructions found on the can of lighter fluid.

If any spillages occur during the refilling process, allow plenty of time for escaped gas to evaporate before allowing sources of

ignition in the vicinity.

Once full, check the torch for leaks by listening for a hissing noise. If the hissing persists, do not ignite and remove the torch to a well

ventilated area until the gas has escaped – do not allow any ignition in the vicinity of the tool.
