Keep all clothing and protective equipment free of oil and grease. These substances
can ignite and are extremely volatile in the presence of pure oxygen.
Make sure that everything is protected from heat, sparks, and ultraviolet rays. Use flame
resistant barriers as needed.
Never touch work pieces until completely cooled.
WARNING There must be two (2) o-rings on the cone end. The absence of either o-ring can
lead to flashback within the torch handle or cutting attachment.
For cutting attachment, inspect the chamfered seating surfaces on tip and in torch

burned. A poor seating surface may result in backfire or flashback.
