Important:
The Archer Miniature Torch is definitely a tool not
a toy. This tool with its hot
flame should be handled by adults or under
constant adult supervision. There are rules
that should be followed in the use of the Torch just
like the rules that should be
followed with any other tool.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS
The small cylinders are about one third full of flammable
liquid butane under pressure.
The Torch burns the gas vapor this liquid butane
forms as it is released.
Once the top of the cylinder is pierced or punctured,
the butane has charged your Torch.
This means that the butane is now controlled
by you.
We shipped your torch to you with an orifice cup
in place.
SAFETY TIPS
1. Never loosen the black thumb screw
while a charged cylinder is in place.
2. Never remove the safety clip (bracket) in the
red control knob.
3. Never change any cylinders near an open flame.
4. Never operate the Torch without a cylinder
gasket in place.
5. Never point the burner towards yourself when lighting
your Cub.
6. Always operate the torch in an upright position.
7. Always check to make sure that the manifold is
finger tight before lighting.
Failure to do so could result in a back flush
of fire.
PIERCING THE BUTANE CYLINDER
The Torch was purchased with the first Butane
cylinder in place, but not
pierced. The Piercing Knob (Red) at the top
is threaded so that if you turn it
counterclockwise it will move it away from the top
of the cylinder.
The top of the Butane cylinder has a thin metal
cover. This cover must be
pierced to let the Butane flow. That top surface
is also the surface that you use to seal
off the flow of Butane. Piercing the right
way is important, so follow the instructions
below in piercing the first and all other cylinders
that you use.
Make sure the black thumb screw is tight.
Now carefully turn the red piercing
and control know clockwise until a slight resistance
is felt.
Place the flame tip close to you ear and turn
the valve knob clockwise one-half
turn at a time, them back off a quarter turn.
If you hear no escaping gas, then turn
down another half turn and back off a quarter turn.
After you hear gas escape turn the
knob clockwise gently until the gas stops.
DO NOT TURN PAST THIS POINT, AS TO DO SO WILL
RUIN YOUR
SEAL AND WILL ALLOW ALL THE BUTANE TO ESCAPE. IT
DOESN’T TAKE
MUCH PRESSURE.
REMEMBER THAT THE BUTANE IS A LIQUID UNDER
PRESSURE.
ALWAYS OPERATE YOUR TORCH IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION.
CHECKING THE ORIFICE CUP
Holding the Torch upright open the red control
knob a quarter turn and listen
for the hiss of gas. If there is no hiss, the
orifice cup is plugged and must be removed
and cleaned. The inside of the cup should be
gently cleaned and with a toothpick or a
matchstick. Reinstall the cup and your cup
and your Torch is now ready for lighting
and operation.
Because of liquid butane splash the greatest
chance of your orifice cup plugging
will occur when first piercing a new cylinder.
If when piercing a new cylinder you do
not get hissing noise that you expect, assume that
the orifice cup is plugged and follow
the cleaning procedure decried.
LIGHTING AND OPERATING THE TORCH
1. Before lighting the Torch, push the flame guard
so that one row of holes is
beyond the tip of the burner manifold.
2. Hold the Torch in an upright position for lighting
and operation.
3. Turn the red knob counterclockwise, and light
the Torch with either a match or
candle. If the flame will not light,
reduce the gas flow by turning the knob
clockwise and light.
4. After the Torch is lit, gradually increase the
flow of gas until the keeper flame
is visible beyond the flame guard.
The keeper flames is the key to correct
operation of the Torch. As long as your
several keeper flames remain lit, your
main flame will stay on.
You will note, that as you turn the Butane
flow down, the keeper flames become
smaller until finally the flame will go out,
even though the Butane is still
flowing slightly. MAKE SURE YOU GENTLY
SNUG THE GAS FLOW OFF
BEFORE YOU PUT AWAY YOUR TORCH. If you
turn up your gas flow too
high, the keeper flames will be blown out and
so will the main light blue hot
flame.
5. When operating the Torch, adjust your flame so
that you are not using a larger
flame than your job requires. The hottest
flame is at the tip of the light blue
flame, and an inch and a half from the end
of the Torch.
REPLACING THE CYLINDER
When your cylinder runs out of butane, first
make sure no open flame is present
then open the red valve at the top about four full
turns. Then loosen the black thumb
screw at the bottom to release the used cylinder.
Make sure your cylinder gasket is in
place in the cylinder entry hole at the top.
Press the new cylinder top in to the hole at
the top. Center the cylinder in the
frame and tighten up the clack thumb screw on the
bottom of the cylinder until the
cylinders firmly in place. Then follow the
piercing procedure above.
Remember, it is when piercing a new cylinder
that you can plug the orifice cup.
Make sure no flame is present when you clean the
Torch.
HINTS AND IDEAS
1. If using the Torch at intervals where you must
prepare or set up your work and
braze or solder, you will find it wise to turn
off the Torch in order to save on
fuel. A lit candle could be used and
left lit for ease of lighting the cub when
your work is ready.
2. If you want to put the torch down while it is
lit, rig up some type of holders so
it won’t fall down, or place it in a small
glass so that the burner nozzle can
extend over the side.
3. Although the Torch works fine outside, you should
keep in mind that strong
winds will blow it out, and the flame is extremely
difficult to see. For these
reasons, we recommend that most work
be done indoors in a well ventilated room
where the flames is visible and wind is not
present.
4. When removing putty from old storm windows, bring
the window into the house
and allow the glass time to go to room temperature.
Point the flame directly on
the putty to be removed and use a sharp putty
knife to roll the putty out.
