Before using, check all ! WARNING parts for proper function
and damage to component parts.
Do not use this torch to heat, mold, or bend plastic sheets, molding or tubing.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards and other panels may contain flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations. The ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the torch moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or the material behind it.
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable. Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED USING A TORCH.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1)Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not possible, keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air from inside to outside.
2)Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
3)Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.
4)Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5)Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean up is complete.
6)Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7)Use caution when operating the torch. Keep the torch moving, as excessive heat will generate fumes, which can be inhaled by the operator.
8)Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
9)Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
10)At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of properly.
11)Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly with soap and water.
Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette, cigar, or pipe lighter.

Always wear eye protection when lighting and using the torch.
Keep your hair, and clothing away from the flame. Loose clothes or long hair can catch fire. Hot solder may cause burns.
Use only liquid butane fuel when filling or refilling torch.
Before each use and after refilling, inspect for leaks. Never use a flame to check for leaks. If leak is suspected use soapy water solution and look for continuous bubbling.
Ignite torch away from face, hands, clothing, or other flammable material.
Discontinue gas flow if torch is extinguished accidentally.
Always check to make sure that unintended parts or materials are not being heated.
Heat may be conducted to near objects or substances that may ignite or become pressurized when heated.
Use OSHA specified coating removal methods when preparing plated metal work pieces for heating.
Always make sure the torch is resting securely on its stand when handling work with both hands.
Do not touch the torch flame guard, flame diffuser, tips and attachments until they have cooled. Torch flame guard, flame diffuser, tips and attachments become extremely hot during use and remain hot after extinguishing.
Use caution when operating the torch outdoors. Bright sun makes it difficult to see flame of the torch. Wind may carry heat and/or sparks towards you, areas not intended to be heated, or combustible materials.
Allow the torch to completely cool before refilling fuel, changing accessories, cleaning, or storing.
Store torch in well ventilated areas.
Use only Dremel accessories to ensure proper operation of Dremel VersaTip.
Do not pack this item or any other flammable gas item in any checked or carry-on baggage. Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations forbids the carriage of butane or other flammable gas products on passenger aircraft.

Lighting and Operation of the
Dremel VersaTip
The Dremel VersaTip igniter is equipped with a safety mechanism intended to protect against unintended ignition.
To ignite the VersaTip:
a.Turn the Flame Control Slider to the minimum position,
b.Grasp the torch body placing your thumb on the safety lock,
c.Using your thumb, rotate the Safety Lock forward (Figure 6) and pull back the Trigger (Figure 7),
d.Observe the Flame Guard to see if glow of the flame is visible. Also, listen for a sound of flame.
If there is no flame glow and the sound is of the escaping gas, then release the Trigger and repeat steps c and d. If ignition occurs, continue to step e.
e.Once the torch is ignited, you can hold on to the Trigger to maintain the flame, or slide the Lock-On Button to the lock position for continuous operation (Figure 8).
To turn off the Dremel VersaTip, let go of the Trigger, and move the Lock-On Button to the right if it was engaged during use. This will immediately stop the flow of butane gas and extinguish the torch flame.
Flame Length and Temperature
Adjustment
Adjustment of the flame length / temperature can be made by adjusting the Flame Control Slider. To increase flame length and temperature, move the Flame Control Slider to the right (+). To decrease flame length and temperature, move the Flame Control Slider to the left (-).
When using with any of the contact attachments (Figure 2) allow 25 seconds for tips to reach full temperature. When using non-contact attachments (figure 2) the full temperature is available immediately after ignition.
