2
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
DO NOT use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative
before using.
Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible materials. If relocation is NOT
combustible materials for a radius of 35 feet (10 meters) around the work area.
moving the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation of combustibles is NOT possible, designate
for at least one half hour after the welding or cutting project is completed.
DO NOT place the Torch on any material other than bare concrete until it has cooled completely.
DO NOT weld or cut any material that has a combustible coating or a combustible internal structure, such
as drums or tanks, without an approved method for eliminating the hazard.
DO NOT dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials.
Clean and purge containers before applying heat. DO NOT apply heat to a container that has held an
explosive vapors. Vent closed containers, including castings, before preheating, cutting, or welding.
INHALATION HAZARD: Welding and Cutting Produce TOXIC FUMES. Exposure to welding or cutting
exhaust fumes can increase the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung
cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes are: •
Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease • Heart disease • Ulcers • Damage to the reproductive organs
emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved
by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk of developing the
above illnesses.
WARNING: This product, when used for welding, plasma cutting, soldering, or similar applications,
produces chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of

Make sure you are prepared to begin work before opening gas supply.
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
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
“empty”
Never use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet connector or cylinder valves. Keep regulators free
of gas and oil.
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.
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.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
NOTE: The following instructions are for acetylene gas use only. DO NOT use other fuel gases.
1. While standing on one side, “crack” each cylinder valve. “Cracking” is to
quickly open and close the valve, allowing gas to escape and clearing the
valve of any foreign material. If any oil or grease is found do not use the
cylinder and contact the supplier immediately.
2. Attach the GREEN oxygen regulator (Parts A1-A21)) to the oxygen cylinder. Then, attach the RED
acetylene regulator (parts 1-17) to the acetylene cylinder. Make sure they are tightened in the correct
directions (normally clockwise for oxygen and counter-clockwise for acetylene) DO NOT USE THREAD
SEALING TAPE.

3. IMPORTANT: The pressure adjusting screw (16) on the acetylene regulator and the pressure adjusting
screw (A16) on the oxygen regulator should be turned counter-clockwise to relieve pressure on the
regulator diaphragms before opening the cylinder valves. If this is not done, pressure form the cylinders
may damage the diaphragms and render the regulators inoperable.
4. Connect the GREEN and RED
welding hoses (1A and 1B) to the proper connections on the torch handle
(parts B1-B11)
5. Connect the cutting attachment (C1-C29) to the torch handle (B1-B11) Always check the cone end
(C23) and coupling nut (C22) for damage or oil. If either are found, discontinue use and contact your gas
supplier.
6. Check connections for leaks. Adjust the acetylene regulator (parts 1-17) and oxygen regulator (parts
A1-A21) to their normal operating pressure. Use an approved leak detection solution to check for leaks
at the welding hoses (A1 and 1B) and cylinder valve connections. If leaks are fond, tighten nuts more
securely.

1. After everything is connected, close both Torch Handle Valves, turning clockwise. Close Regulators,
turning knobs counter-clockwise until loose.
2.
WARNING! Only
open Acetylene Cylinder Valve 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
3. Open the Oxygen cylinder valve completely, turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Adjust the Oxygen Regulator to deliver 20 PSI. Adjust the Acetylene Regulator to deliver 10 PSI.
DO NOT EXCEED 15 PSI ACETYLENE PRESSURE.
5. Check all connections for leaks using soapy water: • If leaks are found, tighten connections. • If a leak
persists, discontinue use and call gas supplier. • If no leaks are found with this test, move on to the Gauge
Monitoring test.
DANGER! To prevent serious injury and/or death, DO NOT tighten or adjust
any connection between the cylinder and cylinder valve, or force the cylinder
valve. If the cylinder valve is leaking, move the cylinder outside and notify
your gas supplier immediately.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure the welding kit is cool to the touch and disconnected from
its oxygen and acetylene cylinders before performing any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning procedures.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the welding kit. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged welding hoses and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use. DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT.
2. PERIODICALLY, Use the tip cleaner (D7) to clean out dirt and debris from the nozzles (parts D3, D6)
make sure to use the correct size tip cleaner for each individual nozzle. See assembly diagram
3. TO CLEAN, use a cloth. If necessary, a mild detergent may be used. Do not immerse any part of the
welding kit in liquid.
Troubleshooting
Before turning
on Torch, gas
odor is noticed.
1. Hose connections loose.
2. Crack in hose.
3. Cylinder leak at neck.
Problem
Possible Causes
Likely Solutions
1. Tighten all connections.
2. Check hoses. If any cracks are found, replace entire hose.
DO NOT PATCH OR TAPE GAS HOSES.
3. Check neck area of cylinders.
If cracks or damage are found, do not use.
Secure upright, in a well-ventilated area, well away from
sources of ignition. Contact gas supplier IMMEDIATELY.
Replace cylinders before proceeding with work.
Flame is irregular.
1. Cutting tip clogged or dirty.
2. Gas low.
1. Close gas, oxygen ¿UVWthen acetylene.
Let Torch cool completely.
Remove Tip, check for dirt and debris.
Use tip cleaner to clean Tip or replace if necessary.
2. Check gas level and UH¿OOif needed.
