Once the torch/lighter ignites, does it stay lit were I to remove my thumb from the switch, or would I have to continue holding the switch down? Thx

You have to continue to hold the switch down or it shuts off. I see it as a safety.

you do have to hold the button down, its a push buton you hold with your thumb its really easy to do, once you let off it truns off

It stays lit as long as the button is pressed however, there is way to keep the butane flow going after you release the button however, it's a little buggy.

Did you pull out the little plastic strip blocking the battery inside the top part of the torch? Once that plastic strip is removed the torch will function on its own, glowing/flickering all night and re-charging in the sunlight all day. I have six of them on my deck. They come on at dusk and burn until about 5 a.m. Love them!

It slides down. Really easy action. And when you let go it it goes out. So yes you have to hold it down. But not for long with this lighter. It gets you where you going quick. Hope this helps.

my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin rule applies. my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin... » Read More my smart ass answer is--if you need instruction on how to use this lighter you shouldn't have one.a literal answer is, safety first--do not aim at anything you do not want burned, like your face. to operate, press down on the black lever. if you push all over the device, the black lever is the only thing that will move. pressing down on the lever will release butane and generate a spark to ignite said butane. opposite the flame end you will find the connector for refilling with butane. the dome also turns to adjust the size of the flame. simple. no instructions necessary. darwin rule applies. « Show Less

It has a switch you depress to turn on and off, the cubes just turn off after awhile but the torch as an on off switch.

The red lock button will only slide to the right while after the flame is ignited. This activates the lock mechanism so you don't have to keep your thumb on the ignition button.

There is indeed a safety switch, below the button, that needs to be pushed down in order for it to light. In my experience with it, the safety switch has never posed a problem and it is easy to switch down with one finger. So yes it does have a safety switch, but no it's never been a nuisance for me.

I have a Little Wizard. If you are buying it new, it will come with a wick, but there is the possibility of purchasing extra wick material. To light it, there is a small metal lever next to the globe (to the left) which can be pushed down and which raises the base of the globe at the same time, exposing the wick assembly. This lever has a catch which can leave the globe in the up position, until it is put down, allowing the operator two hands to light the flame. To put it out, simply push the lever down when lit and blow out the wick.

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

It has a trigger lock that keeps it on, but honestly to use as a work lamp there are better options available to you, check out Harbor Freight. If you need something to carry on you to use in the fields this is an awsome torch.

I've never had a problem with mine. It is entirely possible the mantle is alite but it will not flame or may not even glow. The technology used in manufacturing the mantle is quite unique,mthere is no flame involved. The mantle might flame at first after lighting it, let it flame for a few second then blow it out. Replace the lid, if it lights the case of the unit will be warm. My zippo hand warmer is great, it stays warm all day.

I had these same issues. However, after inspecting this lighter just after refilling it, I found the little round twist at the bottom of the tank. This regulates the pressure of the gas coming out. As you use the lighter, you need to adjust this knob for the correct pressure so that when tank is full, it doesn't have so much pressure that it won't light. Once I learned this, the lighter works perfectly. I've had no issues since using the regulator twist.

I would suggest you put your Zippo hand warmer out when you do not need to burn the fuel. Fuel is not cheap, I believe somewhere in the instructions are details on how to extinguish it correctly. If your instructions are missing ask again and I will fish mine out from hiding to more completely answer your question.

It will stay lit until you turn it off. I walked around for about 2hrs before turning mine off and it still works I love this ball.

yes, it lights very well with your thumb. You have to keep it depressed to keep the flame.

Lighting the torch involves a series of three switches (for safety). They are labeled 1, 2, & 3. You pull the safety switched labeled 1, then press the trigger labeled 2, and move the gas slider labeled 3 to the ON position. It's actually simple; though the instruction may make it sound more complicated that it really is.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work
