USE
Lighting (fig. 13)
- Turn the adjustment wheel on the relay valve (18)
located on the gas cylinder in a counterclockwise
direction (toward "+", as indicated by the arrow).
- Turn the adjustment wheel located under the nozzle
GB
handle (17) in a counterclockwise direction (toward
the "+" marked on the button).
- Place a lighted match in front of the burner or use the
flint spark lighter (21) supplied with the torch.
Adjusting GARDEN TORCH R flame strength (fig. 14)
- Adjust the flame to the level desired by turning the
adjustment wheel located under the nozzle handle
(17) toward "+" to increase or toward "-" to decrease
gas flow.
- To obtain a constant maximum flow, turn the adjust-
ment wheel located under the device handle to the "+"
mark.
Adjusting flame temperature (fig. 15)
Adjust flame temperature by opening or closing the "A"
air holes in the burner using the air adjustment ring (6),
which can be slid over the burner by simultaneously
pressing on the two fins found on the ring.
Careful!
The adjustment ring may be very hot after intensive use.
Allow the device to cool completely before readjusting
the air holes or use protective gloves.
With the flat BP 300 nozzle
- "A" air holes completely open: pointed blue flame.
- Air adjustment ring partially blocking the air holes:
broad yellow flame.
Extinction (fig. 16)
- Turn the adjustment wheel located under the nozzle
handle (17) in a clockwise direction (toward the "-"
marked on the button) until it stops.
- Turn the relay valve (18) adjustment wheel in a clock-
wise direction (toward the "-", as indicated by the
arrow) until it stops.
How to Weed
The idea is not to burn the weed, but merely to heat
it by placing the nozzle approximately 5 cm above
the plant for a few seconds (fig. 17).
To check weeding effectiveness, press a plant leaf bet-
ween two fingers right after using the thermal weeder.
This should leave a dark green, somewhat translucent
mark on the leaf.
Please note: avoid weeding when there is a strong
wind or when the grass is wet. This causes a nota-
ble loss of heat and results will not be good.
To facilitate moving the gas cylinder during weeding, we
suggest you use the support frame (11). Since the gas
cylinder is attached underneath the frame, it is easier to
move (see the "USING THE SUPPORT FRAME" sec-
tion below).
USING THE SUPPORT FRAME (11) (fig. 18)
The support frame makes it easier to use your torch
during operations, such as weeding, where it is neces-
sary to move the cylinder. The handle facilitates car-
rying.
For storage, attach the gas cylinder beneath the frame
and just hook the torch and nozzle on it; roll the hose
around the hooks and place the non-utilized burner on a
rod to avoid losing it.
REMOVING THE CAMPINGAZ
CYLINDER
The cylinder can be removed even if it is not empty.
Remove the cylinder outside and away from other peo-
ple.
- Check that the gas outlet is closed by turning the relay
valve adjustment button (18) on the gas cylinder in a
clockwise direction (toward "-", as indicated by the
arrow) (fig. 16) until it stops.
- Unscrew the relay valve (10) from the gas cylinder.
- Check the sealing rings before reassembling the cylin-
der (fig. 2).
OTHER FUNCTIONS
It is possible to assemble the torch without the extender
to make it shorter (see the section on "ASSEMBLING
THE GORDEN TORCH R" for assembly instructions) for
use in one of the following operations:
- Lighting a barbecue
- Thermal paint removal
- Thawing pipes or other items.
STORAGE
- Check that the gas outlet is completely closed by tur-
ning the relay valve adjustment button (18) on the gas
cylinder in a clockwise direction (toward"-", as indica-
ted by the arrow) (fig. 16) until it stops.
- After the thermal weeder has completely cooled, place
it in a cool, dry, ventilated place, out of the reach of
children, and never in a basement or storage cellar.
- Use the support frame to store your device.
- If the device will not be used for an extended period of
time, disconnect the gas cylinder by following the
instructions in the section on "ROMOVING THE CAM-
PINGAZ
904 OR 907 CYLINDER".
