The world renown XIKAR® Xi cutter gives cigar enthusiasts the finest cigar cut with power, efficiency and ease of use. The cutter operates by a double-guillotine scissors action, using a bottom hinge point with an internal spring to release the cutter to the open position. A locking device retains the blades in the closed position after each cut. This feature adds to the safety and portability of the cutter.

Instructions for Use

Lighters:

IGNITING THE LIGHTER

• A simple push on the ignition switch ignites a powerful 
  flame over 2,000 degrees.  This flame can be nearly invisible in 
  bright light, so proper care is recommended.

TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE LIGHTER TOP AFTER IGNITION.

• To avoid heat buildup, do not use in any situation that would 
  require a continuous flame for more than 10 seconds.  The lighter 
  may become too hot and cause harm to the lighter and/or the user.

EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME

• Releasing pressure from the ignition button of the lighter 
  immediately extinguishes the flame by stopping fuel flow. 
  If flame continues, the flame level is set too high and should be 
  adjusted by turning the adjustment wheel on the bottom of the 
  lighter towards the (-) position.

ADJUSTING FLAME LEVEL

• Turn the fuel adjustment wheel on the bottom of the lighter 
  towards the (+) mark to increase the flame and turn the wheel 
  towards the (-) to decrease the flame to achieve a desired height. 

FILLING AND RE-FILLING LIGHTER

1. Release all tank pressure by pressing on the inlet valve with a small 
   screwdriver or a XIKAR MTX Multi Tool bleeder (shown). Hold the 
   lighter vertical while bleeding valve. Repeat this several times until all 
   fuel/ gas pressure is released. 
2. Set flame adjustment to lowest setting (-). 
3. Turn lighter in upside down position and insert butane tank tip directly 
   on the fuel valve.  Press down firmly for about 5 seconds.  
4. Before igniting lighter, wait 3-4 minutes.  This allows excess butane to 
   evaporate and gas inside lighter to reach room temperature. 
5. Set flame level to desired height by turning flame adjuster wheel.
