ALLOW TOOL TO COOL FULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A.You can hear the gas flowing when you switch the tool on but it does not ignite.
This could be because there is no spark coming from the Versatip. In order to correct this please ensure the Metal Flame Guard (A) is correctly and tightly secured. This will ensure connection to the metal pin (B) which generates the spark. Do not touch the Versatip until it has been cooled down completely.
B.You do not hear any gas flowing when you switch the tool on.
This could be because the nozzle has become blocked by liquid butane. The most common cause of a blocked nozzle is overfilling of the tank. The tank is full when liquid butane gas escapes from the filling valve. Once this happens please stop refilling the gas to avoid overfilling of the tank. Please refer to the (RE)FILLING THE TANK section of the Versatip manual for more details.
1. Unscrew Metal Flame Guard
2. Unscrew Ceramic Insulator
3. Remove Nozzle with a set of pliers and allow the liquid butane inside the nozzle to vaporise by holding the nozzle for 30 seconds and then reassemble the components.
C.If your Versatip is still not functioning correctly then the most likely cause is a fully blocked nozzle. This can be as a result of butane gas impurities or due to environmental factors such as dust. A replacement nozzle can be ordered direct from Dremel.
