5. (When using the cutting attachment, skip to step 8) When using the Welding Tip, Open
the oxygen valve slowly. A bright inner cone will appear in the flame. Continue to
adjust the oxygen valve until the edges of the flame disappear and a sharp inner cone is
visible. The resulting flame is a “Neutral Flame.”
6. To increase the flame, open the torch control valves or slightly increase the regulator
operating pressure. DO NOT reduce the flame setting. This will cause the tip to overheat
and BACKFIRE. Use a smaller tip size if less heat or a finer flame is required.
7. Skip to step 11.
8. When using the cutting attachment, slowly open the preheat oxygen valve. A sharp inner
cone should appear in the flame.
9. Depress the oxygen cutting lever. If the flame becomes less sharp, adjust the preheat
oxygen valve until the flame’s sharp inner cone is reestablished.
10. If you are experiencing BACKFIRE or SUSTAINED BACKFIRE, immediately turn off
the oxygen control valve followed by the fuel valve. Allow the torch to cool. Repeat
Lighting the Torch procedures. If trouble persists, DO NOT use and contact a qualified
repair technician.
11. Follow Proper Shutoff Procedures. See Section 5.5
