Important Equipment Notes
• The cylinder connection on the Inferno torch is equipped
with a safety device to prevent excess flow of gas from
improper use or certain equipment damage or failure.
• The excess flow adapter may activate and reduce flow
through the torch to a minimum if the cylinder valve is
opened too quickly and/or if the torch valve has been
opened too far.
• The Inferno torch is also equipped with an automatic
shut off safety lever valve that will stop the flow of gas
and extinguish the flame if the lever is released during
operation.
