8. Open the heating-oxygen valve (5) and open little bit more valve for fuel gas
(4).
9. Light the flame in front of the nozzle .
10. Open the cutting-oxygen valve (6). Adjust the oxygen pressure by means of
the adjusting screw on the regulator or the supply point.
11. Once the cutting oxygen is flowing, the heating flames can be adjusted by
means of the heating-oxygen valve (5) and the fuel-gas valve (4).
12. The torch can now be used for cutting.
5.3. EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
1. Release the lever of the valve (6) for the cutting oxygen.
2. Slowly close the valve for fuel gas (4) and after that valve for heating
oxygen (5).
6. MAINTENANCE
Keep the torch clean. Do not lubricate any of the parts. Oil or grease can cause
an explosion when in contact with oxygen.
• The holes in the cutting nozzle should be cleaned when necessary with ap-
propriate cleaning needles or with KR21 chemical cleaner. Do not use drill bits,
steel wire or similar objects for cleaning, as the channels inside the nozzle
will be damaged.
• Proper flames and an even flow of cutting oxygen cannot be obtained unless
the edges of the nozzle holes are sharp.
