Make sure you are prepared to begin work before opening gas supply.
ALWAYS use reverse-ow on the torch and regulator. This greatly reduces the possibility of mixing
gases in the regulator or hose.
Use with oxygen and acetylene only. DO NOT modify this torch or use it for a purpose for which it is not
intended.
Set Acetylene Regulator no greater than 15 PSI. Acetylene is unstable and can explode if over-
pressurized.
DO NOT use oil, grease or thread seal tape on any connector.
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control, re
and/or personal injury.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model Torch. Accessories that
may be suitable for one Torch may become hazardous when used on another Torch. Only use proper
gas hoses.
Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a cart, wall or post to prevent them from falling. All cylinders
should be used and stored in an upright position. Never drop or strike a cylinder. Cylinder caps should
be used when moving or storing cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in specied areas and marked
“empty”
NEVER use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet connector or cylinder valves. Keep regulators
free of gas and oil.
There must be TWO O-rings on the cone end. The absence of either O-ring can lead to ashback within
the torch handle or cutting attachment.
DO NOT store cylinders in temperatures 120° F or higher.
KEEP WRENCH ON ACETYLENE CYLINDER’S VALVE whenever cylinder is in use to allow quick shut
off in case of emergency.
DO NOT USE FLAME TO DETECT LEAKS.
INSPECT BEFORE EVERY USE. Look for the following, and do not use kit if any damage is noted:
A. Inspect the tapered seating surfaces on the Nozzles and the Tip Nut. Have a qualied technician
resurface the seat area if it has dents, burrs, or is burned. A poor seating surface may result in backre
or ashback.
B. Examine all hoses for cuts, cracks, burns, worn areas, or other damage. Do not use if damaged.
C. Check for loose connections using soapy water solution. Tighten or repair any leaks found.
D. Do not use the Torch Kit if either gas does not turn off completely when the Oxygen Torch Valve and
Acetylene Torch Valve are closed. Leakage of gas from the tip is a substantial safety risk. If gas cannot
be turned off at the Torch Handle, it is dangerous and must be replaced.
E. Inspect for any other defects or damage. Do not use any damaged parts. Tag damaged parts “Do not
use” until repaired.
Backre and Flashback: When the ame goes out with a loud “pop” it is called a backre. Backre can
be caused by A. Operating the torch at low pressures required for the toll tips used. B. Touching the
tip against the work piece. C. Overheating the tip or abstraction in the tip. If backre occur, shut off the
torch handle valves, oxygen rst, and after remedying the cause, relight the torch. If ashback occurs,
close the torch handle valves immediately. Flashback generally indicates a problem that needs repaired.
A clogged tip, improper functioning in the valves or incorrect oxygen pressure. Make sure to nd and x
the cause before lighting the torch.
