TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:

Turn the Oxygen and Acetylene Torch Valves fully clockwise to close

(oxygen first and acetylene second) before making any adjustments or

performing any inspection or service to this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram

near the end of this manual. All instructions in this manual are for oxygen and acetylene gas only.

1. Secure cylinders (not included) to a cart, wall,

or post to prevent them from falling. Do not

place Acetylene Cylinder on its side.

WARNING! TO PREVENT FIRE AND EXPLOSION:

Make sure there is no oil, grease, or ignition source

(such as hot cut material, electric motor,

or another welding operation) nearby

before proceeding with the next step.

2. While standing to one side, “crack” each cylinder

valve. “Cracking” is to quickly open and close the

valve, allowing a small amount of gas to escape and

clearing the valve of any foreign material.

WARNING! If oil or grease is found, discontinue

using cylinder and immediately contact your gas

supplier.
