To ignite the Sealey AK2946, open the gas valve slowly and use the built-in piezo ignition button to start the flame. Ensure you hear the gas flow before pressing the ignition.
The Sealey AK2946 Soldering Torch is designed to use butane gas. Make sure to use high-quality butane for optimal performance.
You can adjust the flame size by turning the gas flow control knob. Rotate it clockwise to decrease the flame and counterclockwise to increase it.
If the torch does not ignite, check if the gas canister is properly connected and filled. Also, ensure the piezo ignition is functioning and the nozzle is clean.
Regularly clean the nozzle and check for any blockages. Ensure all connections are tight and replace the gas canister when empty. Store in a cool, dry place.
The Sealey AK2946 is designed to be used in multiple orientations, but it is recommended to use it upright to ensure consistent fuel flow.
Always wear protective eyewear and gloves. Use the torch in a well-ventilated area and keep away from flammable materials. Turn off the gas supply when not in use.
To refill, hold the torch upside down and insert the nozzle of the butane canister into the refill valve. Press down firmly until the tank is full.
A sputtering flame could be due to low gas levels or blockage in the nozzle. Ensure the gas canister is full and clean the nozzle regularly.
Yes, the Sealey AK2946 is suitable for heat shrink tubing. Adjust the flame to a lower setting to avoid damaging the tubing.
