- First - before you attempt to light the torch follow these checks:
- Make sure regulator pressure adjustment screws are backed out!
- Make sure torch valves are closed!

- Open/close torch valves separately and fine tune pressure settings on regulators
- Depress cutting lever and adjust pressure if necessary
