● The soldering head can be screwed off by turning the locking ring counterclockwise. ● When working with the soldering head installed, make sure the locking ring is well fastened and the exhaust vent faces up. If the exhaust vent faces down, it may damage the surface underneath what you are soldering. ● The soldering tip itself can also be removed by screwing it off.GASIRON2

Soldering iron: ● Make sure the exhaust vent faces up. ● Set the on/off switch to the ON position to let the gas flow. ● Pull the soldering head forward until you can see the nozzle through the ignition vent. Then, light the gas by bringing an open flame to the ignition vent. ● Release the soldering head. The flame will disappear inside the head and will generate heat there. ● Set the on-off switch to OFF to extinguish the soldering iron.

Gas torch: ● Remove the soldering head. ● Set the on-off switch to ON to let the gas flow and bring an open flame next to the nozzle. ● Set the on-off switch to OFF to extinguish the soldering iron.

Hot blower: ● Screw the soldering tip off the soldering head by turning it counterclockwise. Ignition and extinguishing are the same as for the soldering iron.

Flame/heat adjustment: ● Adjust the gas flow by means of the gas volume control. Rotate it to the + or the - to increase or decrease the gas flow.

Refilling the gas tank: ● Make sure the on-off switch is set to OFF and the GASIRON2 has cooled down completely. ● Refill the device in a well-ventilated area away from any ignition source and away from other people. Do not smoke while refilling the gas torch. ● Refill with butane gas only. ● Hold the GASIRON2 upside down, insert the nozzle of the butane canister into the gas refill valve and press the canister down to let the gas flow from the canister into the gas tank of the soldering iron. ● When the gas stops flowing, pull the canister out of the refill valve.
