I bought the torch over a year ago and it sat in storage in a closet unused. Should have tried it out sooner.
Apparently the machine needs a technical tap in order to get to work.
There is something loose in the knob that controls the air and amps.
After setting the air, I switch to the amps I want, it will do one of three things.
It makes no change to the air coming out of the torch.
This causes a no fire situation.
It reduces the amount of air coming out of the torch.
This also causes a no fire.
Lastly it stops air flow out of the torch either by just turning the knob or by tapping on the knob with my finger.
The torch will fire then.
Really weird problem that I will get repaired at some point soon. Have no clue what the cost might be.
Any of you ever heard of such an issue or know anything about the replacement cost, ease of replacement or where I can actually order the part?
