Description
Master Models UT-100 and UT-200 Ultratorch heat tools are variable temperature butane powered,
multi-function heat tools. They can be operated as soldering irons, flameless heat tools or torches
just by changing tips. Temperature is varied by adjusting the gas control lever.

Principles of Operation
This product uses a catalytic gas reaction system. The special catalyst contained in the tip is
preheated with a butane flame. The preheated
flame is extinguished when the shutter is closed
over the ignition vent.
Butane gas continues to flow over the preheated
catalyst generating infrared heat which is either
conducted through the soldering iron tip or
passed through the heat tip as hot gas.

Use as a Soldering Iron, Heat Tool or Torch
All models come with the soldering tip pre-installed.
To change tips, unscrew knurled nut, drop out tip
and drop in replacement tip.
Hot Air Vent Catalyst
Evaporated
Gas
As a soldering iron, heat conducts into tip. Touch tip to
work surface and apply solder.
Use proper tip for type of
work being performed. Make
sure hot air exhaust points
away from work surface.
As a heat tool, heated gas
flows from the end of the
heat tip. Use the heated gas
to heat, dry or shrink as
necessary. Tip temperatures
can be varied by adjusting
the gas control lever.
As a torch tool, flame extends
from the end of the tool. Use
flame to torch, braze or heat as
necessary. Flame size can be
varied by adjusting the gas control lever.
Fill with Ultratane Butane
Unit operates on butane gas and creates infared heat effectively
by the use of a catalyst. Use only Master Ultratane butane with
your Ultratorch. Make sure on/off lever is in “off” position before
filling. To fill, press nozzle of butane can down onto refill opening.
Unit is full when gas overflows refill opening. Check window for
fuel level.

Ignition Instructions for use as a Soldering Iron or Heat Tool
1
1.Remove protective cap. Install soldering tip or heat tip as required by turning the knurled nut
and tip housing to the right (figure1) and install tip (figure 2). Retighten knurled nut (Do not
over tighten) Never change tips while hot.
2. Open the ignition vent by lowering the shutter lever.
Do not touch the hot air exhaust opening. (Figure 4)

3.Position the gas control lever to 3 and move
on/off lever to “ON”. In cold conditions move gas lever higher, in warm conditions, lower.
4. Turn “ON/OFF” lever to “ON” position and ignite at ignition vent (Figure 3)
5. Wait until a glow is seen at the catalyst (seen through the ignition vent after about 4-5 seconds).
6. Close the ignition vent completely by raising the shutter lever (Figure 4). The flame will go out
and the gas will react with the catalyst producing heat.
7. The heat of the soldering and heat tips can be controlled by the gas control lever (Figure 5).
8. Extinguish by turning the gas “ON/OFF” lever to “OFF” until it clicks (figure 6).

1.Remove protective cap. (Do not twist off). Remove the soldering or heat tip by turning the
knurled nut and tip housing to the right (figure 1) Retighten knurled nut (Do not over tighten)
Never change tips while hot.
2. Push shutter lever to backward position.
3.Position the gas control lever to 3 and move on/off lever to “ON”. And ignite at flame orifice
In cold conditions move gas lever higher, in warm, lower. (figure 7)
4. Adjust the flame length by using the gas control lever. NOTE: “Flame out” could occur if the
temperature control lever is positioned at too high a setting.
5. Preheat flame is obtainable by moving the shutter lever half-way up, so that the shutter covers
the small holes in the ejector. (However, normal operating position for the shutter lever is
completely down.)
6. Extinguish by turning the gas “ON/OFF” lever to “OFF” until it clicks (figure 8).
If a large flame is required replace the soldering heat ejector with the torch ejector.

1. Push shutter lever upward to expose the small holes on the solder/heat ejector. Insert the accessory
spanner wrench into one of the small holes and turn to the right until loose. Continue to turn with fingers
until the ejector is easily removed (Figures 9 and 10)
2. Mount the torch ejector in place of the removed ejector. Push the torch ejector downward and then turn
until finger tight. Tighten completely with accessory spanner wrench.

NOTE: The original soldering ejector must be reinstalled
before using as soldering or heat tool.

1. Remove protective cap. (Do not twist off). Remove the soldering or heat tip by turning the knurled nut and
tip housing to the right (figure 11) Retighten knurled nut (Do not over tighten) Never change tips while hot.
2. Lower shutter knob and ignite after turning gas lever to open position (figure 12).
3. The flame size can be controlled by the gas control lever.

Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of injury or
property damage, READ AND
UNDERSTAND the following
warnings:
1. To prevent fire or damage to
work surfaces, be sure hot air
exhaust opening is positioned
up. Hot air comes out of the
exhaust opening in the tip.
Keep combustibles and hands
away from the opening.
2. To prevent fuel tank leakage,
do not store in environmental
area that exceeds 104°F/40°C
(such as car dashboard or
trunk, direct sun, glove compartment, or other enclosed,
unventilated areas).
3. Be sure to turn “ON/OFF”
switch to “OFF” after use.
4. Do not perform maintenance
or re-pair unless unit is completely cool. Be certain
“ON/OFF” lever is “OFF”.
5. Wait for tips to cool before
changing. Keep hands and
combustibles from tip area
while in use.
6. When soldering or desoldering
always review material safety
data sheets (MSDS) for recommended precautions for
safe handling and use of
solder, solder paste, flux,
conformal coatings and any
other chemicals.
7. Store away from, and do not
use in the presence of children.
8. Keep protective cap on unit
while not in use.
9. Use only in well-ventilated
area. Continuous or extended
use indoors should be done
only with a local exhaust ventilation to the outside.
10. Do not expose to open flame
or other sources of high temperature.
11. To prevent clouding of window, do not use alcohol or
alcohol-based cleaner.
12. Use only Master Appliance
Ultratane Butane Fuel to
insure maximum safety and
performance. MSDS upon
request.
13. Always use safety glasses or
goggles.
14. Do not fill gas or store near
open flame, heater, furnace
or combustible materials.
15. Do not misuse, abuse, alter
or tamper.

16. It is your responsibility to follow your governmental regulations when disposing of
this unit.
NOTE: When operating in
extremes of temperature (hot or
cold), at high altitude, ignition
may be difficult due to the variation of gas pressure caused by
these extremes. Gas control settings will also be affected and will
vary from those under normal
conditions. If difficulties are
experienced, please contact our
Customer Service Department
who will advise on adjustment.
WARNING: The Department of
Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations forbid the
carriage of butane or other flammable gas products on passenger aircraft. Do not pack this item
or any other flammable gas item,
in any checked or carry-on baggage.
WARNING: This product, when
used for soldering and similar
applications, produces chemicals
known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
How to Empty Tank of Butane Gas if Needed
1. Only empty fuel tank in a well
ventilated area and away from
ignition sources. Remember
butane is heavier than air.
2. Depress the filler valve at the
back of the tank with a small
bladed screwdriver and let the
butane gas escape through
the small orifice opening. It
takes approximately one
minute for the butane to
escape from the tank.
Be careful that the butane
does not hit against your fingers or hands. This could
cause frostbite of the skin.
3.One method is to poke a small
bladed screwdriver through a
piece of paper and then carefully depress the filler valve.
The escaping gas will hit the
paper and not your hand.
4. Never turn gas lever to “ON”
and allow gas to evacuate
through the ejector/tip. Doing
this will clog the ejector and
lead to premature failure.
5. Never try to unscrew
the filler valve as it is
adhesively bonded to the
tank. Breaking of this bond
will destroy the unit, causing the tank to leak.
