Propane Torches
Specification
Warning
Read this notice before operating torch
This torch uses LP-Gas (Propane). Propane is EXTREMELY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE and can result in DAMAGE or
LOSS TO PROPERTY, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DEATH.
If you SEE, SMELL or HEAR ESCAPING GAS, IMMEDIATELY
EVACUATE THE AREA, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FIRE
DEPARTMENT and IF SAFE TO DO SO, CLOSE THE
PROPANE SUPPLY.
DO NOT use this torch in an enclosed area
DO NOT supply liquid fuel to this torch
DO NOT store propane in buildings or other enclosed areas
Sure Flame Torch Models ST2 and ST3 MUST ONLY BE
USED OUTDOORS.
TORCHES MUST NEVER BE USED AS BUILDING SPACE
HEATERS.
AFTER attaching torch to LP-Gas (propane) fuel supply AND
BEFORE LIGHTING, check all fittings and joints with water
and soap solution to ensure there are no leaks.
When lighting the torch, always apply lighter BEFORE
opening propane supply valve. Propane is heavier than air
and will settle to the floor.
Once the torch is lighted, it MUST NEVER BE LEFT
UNATTENDED AS DAMAGE OR LOSS TO PROPERTY,
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH MAY RESULT.
Consult your local authority having jurisdiction over torch
connections and use with a propane regulator. Contact
your propane supplier for more information on the use and
hazards of this fuel.
Connecting to Fuel Supply
Use only a vapor withdrawal propane cylinder with this
torch. Inspect the torch, hose, regulator, and POL fitting to
ensure they are not damaged. Ensure that the O-ring is in
place on the POL fitting. Attach the fitting to the cylinder by
turning it counter clockwise. Tighten with a wrench, but do
not over tighten.
If the torch was purchased without a regulator, be sure to
install a regulator set within the pressure range indicated on
the torch’s specification decal.
Once all connections have been tightened, ensure that the
valve on the torch is closed, then slowly open the valve on
the tank. Opening the valve too quickly will activate the
check valve in the POL fitting to close and restrict the flow
of propane to the torch.
Check all connections with a soap and water solution. If
bubbles form, turn off the propane, fix the leak, and retest.
Lighting Instructions
After connecting to the fuel supply and testing for leaks,
apply the lighter to the end of the burner and slowly open
the valve on the torch.
To turn off the torch, turn off the valve at the propane
cylinder and let the fuel in the hose burn out. Then turn off
the valve on the torch. Do not place the hot torch head on
combustible material.
Maintenance
Ensure torch, hose, regulator, and POL fitting are protected
from damage both during use and while in storage. Examine
hose and POL fitting before each use. Replace hoses that
are damaged or show excessive wear. Make sure the POL
fitting is not damaged and that the O-ring is in place.

Important Safeguards
When using torches, basic safety precautions should
always be followed:
a) READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
b) Before using, check all parts for proper function and
damage to component parts.
c) Do not use this torch to heat, mold or bend plastic sheets,
moulding or tubing.
d) “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.”
e) Do not use this torch to remove paint (if the torch can be
used to remove paint, items (f) and (g) below shall be
used).
f) WARNING: 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.
g) Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
• Move the work piece outdoors.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep
the heat gun moving, as excessive heat will
generate fumes, which can be inhaled by the
operator.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
