DESCRIPTION

This handheld ignitor uses two small lead-acid batteries to supply a current

surge sufﬁcient to ignite both the 1/4" and 3/8" bare SLICE Cutting Rods. Two

striker bar, close to the head housing assembly. Contact the lower striker

bar to begin short circuit arcing and ﬂip the sparking end of the rod away

from the body of the igniter.

MAINTENANCE

As with any other tool the Cordless Striker requires certain items be

maintained for the highest performance from the unit. Keeping the power

cell charged allows you to get the most ignitions out of this unit. The power

cell slowly loses a small amount of maximum charge when it sits idle for

long periods of time so be sure to charge. Recharge the striker after any

use, regardless of the number of rods.

Based on laboratory testing done at a room temperature of 72˚, the operator

may perform the following approximate ignitions before recharging is

necessary:

1/4" rod, approximately 100 ignitions;

3/8" rod, approximately 45 ignitions.

Lower or higher temperatures and the operator experience of proper striker

use affect the overall number of ignitions achieved in a single charge.

To recharge, insert the ignitor into a receptacle on the recharging unit. A

red light turns on to indicate the unit is charging. A green light illuminates

when the ignitor is recharged and ready for use. The recharging unit can

charge two ignitors at a time in less than four hours.

The lower striker bar acquires a build up of slag, ash, and dirt which needs

to be removed periodically for best performance of power cell and increased

overall life. When not in use, place the protective head cover on the striker

ignitor to guard against accidental arcing between the striker bars.

NOTE

After time the lower striker bar becomes worn and needs

replacing.

copper contact points are mounted in the head of the cordless striker. Connect
