Filling of the vaporizer glass with vaporizer liquid
The use of vaporizer liquid is necessary for the soldering of
metals (except platinum). The flowing gas is enriched and
thereby produces a flame which is adjusted to the individual
properties of the metal.
We recommend the use of MIG-O-MAT vaporizer liquid BLQ
1800 (MIG-O-MAT Order No. 50.2501631, 1 litre). Unlike
other methanol-containing liquids MIG-O-MAT BLQ 1800 is
not toxic. Another advantage is that the burner hand piece
cannot be blocked by residues which may be contained in
other media (borax). In these cases the hand piece must be
replaced.
Vaporizer liquids are flammable! Therefore, please observe the
following safety instructions before filling.
Risk of fire and explosion due to ignition sources and
electrostatic charging!
Risk of ignition of the flammable liquids used for filling due to
ignition sources around the workplace!
Keep away from ignition sources when the vaporizer glass is
open or when you handle vaporizer liquid!
Risk of ignition of the flammable vaporizer liquids used for filling
due to electrostatic discharging!
Touch the cap nuts on the holding angle pieces of the top part
with both hands for a short period of time before you handle the
vaporizer liquid. This will branch off any possible electrostatic
charge of the operator without any risk!
Ensure that the workplace is sufficiently ventilated!
Risk of poisoning by toxic solvents when methanol-containing
vaporizer liquids are used!
Do not inhale the vapours!
Avoid contact with eyes and skin!
Wear protective gloves and goggles when handling hazardous
substances! Do not eat, drink or smoke!
Observe the specific safety warnings given on the label of the
vaporizer liquid used. Some types of vaporizer liquids may be
toxic!
Store open containers of vaporizer liquid that are not yet empty
at a safe place and keep out of reach of unauthorized persons,
in particular of children.
CAUTION!
