(RE)FILLING THE TANK
The Dremel Versatip runs on liquid butane gas. Make sure the
gas you are using is refined butane gas that can also be used
in lighters.
Hold tool and container as shown in picture 8. Then fill the tank
with liquid butane gas observing the instructions on the butane
gas container. The tank is full when liquid butane gas escapes
through the filling valve.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK!
WARNING
!
GETTING STARTED
The Dremel Versatip is equipped with a child safety mechanism.
This mechanism requires two handed operation to protect
against (accidental) ignition by children.
1.
See pictures 2 and 3 to ignite the Dremel Versatip.
2.
The ceramic insulator will start to glow shortly after
ignition. When this is not the case, repeat steps 1 and 2.
When the Dremel Versatip is cold, ignition might cause a
short whistling sound. This is normal and does not mean
there is something wrong with the tool.
* Note: the flame guard must be installed correctly, for the tool to
be able to ignite.
When the ignition switch is released, the flow of gas is
automatically shut off, causing the Dremel Versatip to stop and
slowly cool down. To continuously operate the Dremel Versatip,
follow the steps in pictures 2, 3 and 4. To switch the Dremel
Versatip off, let go of the ignition switch and move the lock button
to the right (picture 5). This will immediately stop the flow of
butane gas.
USING WITH AN OPEN FLAME
To use the Dremel Versatip with an open flame, unscrew the
flame guard, remove the catalyst (and tip if attached) and screw
flame guard back onto the tool and securely tighten the flame
guard nut.
FLAME LENGTH AND TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
After ignition, make sure the tool is on by checking that the
catalyst starts to glow. Then move the flame control lever to the
right to increase flame length and temperature, or to the left to
decrease flame length and temperature. When using the open
flame or hot air the Dremel Versatip is at the correct temperature
immediately after ignition. Please allow 25 seconds of heat up
time for tips.
INSTALLING OR CHANGING TIPS
ALWAYS ALLOW THE TOOL TO COOL
WARNING
!
FULLY BEFORE REMOVING OR
REPLACING TIPS.
Make sure to use the right tip for the job you want to do. Only
use tips that fit onto the tool perfectly. Loose fitting tips might
result in an uncontrolled and unsafe flame.
The use of tips requires the catalyst to be installed. To install
the catalyst unscrew the flame guard nut and remove the flame
guard. Slide in the catalyst into the flame guard with the narrow
part facing outward. Place the flame guard and catalyst back
on to the tool and securely tighten the flame guard nut. The
soldering tip, cutting knife tip, shaping knife tip and hot blower
tip can be screwed onto the catalyst. Secure the bits tightly
using the 7mm wrench. To remove a tip, simply use the 7 mm
wrench to unscrew the tip. Use the 8mm wrench to hold the
catalyst in place if required.
The wide flame head tip and the deflector tip can be slid over
the end of the catalyst. To remove them slide off the catalyst.
INSTALLING / REPLACING A NOZZLE
ALWAYS ALLOW THE TOOL TO COOL
WARNING
!
FULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR
REPLACING A NOZZLE.
The nozzle can get clogged, due to butane gas impurities. To
prolong the life of the tool, the nozzle is replaceable. Should the
nozzle be clogged, follow these steps to replace the nozzle:
1.
Unscrew the flame guard nut.
2.
Remove flame guard (and catalyst and tip if applicable).
3.
Unscrew the ceramic insulator.
4.
Remove the nozzle by hand (small copper part) by gently
turning and pulling it.
