PROBLEM SOLVING

Only work with torch and cylinders in a well-ventilated

area where no other source of combustibles and ignition

can occur. Only work on a completely cool torch and tip.

No Flame

If you can not obtain a ﬂame and you have checked and or

corrected all defects, try the following.

1. Check the tips and be sure that they are clean and have no

obstructions.

2. Disconnect the MAPP

cylinder and connect the Oxygen

cylinder. Test to see that there is gas ﬂow. Use a piece of

paper in front of the tip. Turn the oxygen cylinder on. If the

paper did not move replace the oxygen cylinder with a new

cylinder. Repeat the above test again. This will show that

there is a ﬂow through the tip.

3. If there is no movement the torch assembly needs to be

replaced.

4. Disconnect the Oxygen cylinder and connect the MAPP

cylinder.

5. Repeat the above test with the MAPP cylinder as stated in

step 3 but using the MAPP

cylinder.

6. Check for leaks. By this time you should have a torch that has

a ﬂame or must be replaced.

Have a Flame but have problems

If you can obtain a ﬂame but have problems with your welding

rods try the following.

1. Use proper size ﬂame for the job or your rod will stick to the

metal and not ﬂow properly.

2. Make sure that the blue ﬂame is just touching the item you

are working on. A cooler metal will make the rod not stick.

Torch will not weld

1. Make sure that the metal has been cleaned and ﬂuxed

properly.

2. Make sure that you are using the proper size ﬂame for the

job.

3. Make sure that the job is not too big for the MT 585 OX

torch.

4. The inner blue tip should just touch the metal you are

working on.

Flame will not cut

1. Make sure that you are using the proper size ﬂame for the

job.

2. You may need to increase the oxygen to the job. However

do not waste it. The job may be too big.

3. Do not move the tip too quickly along the area to be cut.

4. Be sure that the metal falls easily from the cut.

TIP CLEANING – REPLACEMENT.

1. Both valves should be turned off and the cylinder

disconnected from the valves.

2. Using only a wire brush, gently brush the tip by hand with

the tip pointing down. Use no other tool than a wire brush.

3. If the tip is still obstructed after step 2 protect the fuel tube

with a soft cloth and place in a vise and remove the tip by

turning counter-clockwise. Do not crimp the hoses or mixing

tube with the vise. Do not use any other tools such as pliers

of any kind to hold the fuel tube.

4. Dispose of the tip and install a new tip that has no

obstructions.

5. Be careful not to cross thread the tip as you are replacing

the tip. The tip should be installed by turning clockwise. Be

sure that no more than one full thread shows. Do not use

excessive force when applying the tip. The tip should be a

little more than snug.

6. Remove from the vise and check for leaks.

COMPLETE SAFETY AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Contents extremely ﬂammable and under pressure.

Keep out of reach of children or any one who has not read

the instructions.

Use only the fuel that is recommended for the torch you

purchased.

Use of non-recommended fuel will void your warranty.

Carefully read cautions on individual containers. Keep

away from heat and ﬂame.

NOT store in rooms used for habitation

Although welding goggles are not included with you

MT 585 OX kit you should always wear ANSI Z.87

shade No. 4 or 5 goggles while using the MT 585 OX kit.

Onlookers should also wear the proper eye protection

listed above.

ALWAYS USE YOUR TORCH IN A

A WELL VENTILATED AREA

LIMITED OXYGEN CYLINDER USAGE

PLEASE READ

Due to the fact that the amount of compressed oxygen capacity is

limited by the cylinder size the usage time of your oxygen is also

limited. Your MAPP

gas cylinder contains fuel that is liqueﬁed

under pressure. Your Oxygen cylinder only contains compressed

gas. You will ﬁnd that your MAPP

gas cylinder will last 30 to 40

times longer than your Oxygen cylinder. The following are tips to

improve the results of your work with the MT 585 OX.

1. Prepare your work environment including the torch kit,

brazing rods, and work piece.

2. When lighting the torch gently open the MAPP

gas valve

(marked with a yellow dot) until you hear a gentle hissing

sound allowing only a very small amount of gas to ﬂow from

the tip. The MAPP

gas cylinder is yellow in color.

3. Ignite the torch with the supply ﬂint spark lighter. Please

assure that the MT 585 OX tip is not pointed at you, a

bystander, or any ﬂammable material. The torch will ignite

and the resulting ﬂame will be a soft yellow ﬂame that may

produce a black “soot-like” smoke. The ﬂame should be

somewhere between 4 and 6 inches in length (125 mm

to 175 mm).

4. The torch is now ready to have Oxygen introduced into the

ﬂame. Gently open the Oxygen regulated valve (marked with

a green dot). The Oxygen tank is green in color. The ﬂame

will slowly move from the yellow lazy ﬂame to a brighter

white/blue ﬂame. Continue to add Oxygen until you achieve

the best ﬂame for your job.

5. Turn off both the MAPP

and Oxygen valves as soon as your

job is completed to your satisfaction.

General Safety Rules:

THIS IS NOT A NORMAL HAND HELD TORCH. THE

MAGTORCH MT 585 OX WILL ACHIEVE MUCH HOTTER

TEMPERATURES. MUCH LIKE A TRADITIONAL

COMMERCIAL OXY-ACCETYLENE TORCH THIS HOTTER

FLAME MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL

INJURY IF THESE DIRECTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED OR

IF THE UNIT IS MISHANDLED. TEMPERATURES OF THIS

TORCH MAY REACH OVER 5,000 °F.

1. Do not try to operate

before reading instructions. Do not

use this torch until you understand all of the instructions and

cautions. Familiarize yourself with the torch before lighting

or using. Review instructions and cautions periodically to

maintain awareness. Deviating from these procedures

may result in ﬁre, explosion, and property damage and/or

operator injury.

2. Do not point torch toward face, other persons or ﬂammable

objects. Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette lighter.

3. Disconnect gas cylinder when not in use.

4. Never attempt to modify the torch construction and never

use unapproved fuel or accessories.

5. Treat the torch as you would any ﬁne tool or instrument. Do

not drop or otherwise abuse.

6. Do not use a leaking, damaged or malfunctioning torch.

STOP using it immediately. DO NOT use the torch until

you correct the problem. Torches improperly operated,

maintained or repaired can be dangerous. Improper use,

service, repair or modiﬁcation of the torch could result

in damage to the product, property damage or personal

injury to the operator.

7. Work only in well ventilated areas. 8. Avoid contact of flux with skin or eyes. Avoid the fumes from fluxes, lead-based paint and all metal heating operations. They may emit dangerous fumes when heated with a torch. Breathing these fumes is hazardous to your health. Be especially careful to avoid fumes from cadmium plating and galvanized metal – remove these coatings in the area to be heated by filing or sanding prior to heating. 9. Always place your work on firebrick.
