Introduction

This booklet contains information and instructions that are

intended for experienced operators and those who are working

under the close supervision of skilled welders.  Operation and

maintenance of the welding and cutting equipment should

conform to the provisions of ANSI standard Z49.1, “Safety in

Welding & Cutting”;  AWS manual C4.2-78, “Operatorʼs Manual

for Oxy-Fuel Gas Cutting” also deserves careful study.

IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire and

personal injury, including the following

:

   1.

Never use acetylene pressure over 15 PSIG.

 2

. Never use damaged or leaking equipment.

   3.

Never use oil or grease on or around Oxygen equip-
ment and cylinders.

  Oil or grease is easily ignited and

burns violently in the presence of oxygen.

   4.

Never use Oxygen or fuel gas to blow dirt or dust off
clothing or equipment

.  Pure oxygen supports combustion

and a spark can ignite oxygen-saturated clothing.

   5.

Never light a torch with matches or a lighter. Always
use a striker.

   6.

Always wear the proper welding goggles, gloves and
clothing when operating Oxy-Acetylene equipment,
Pants should not have cuffs.
