5.0 ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
5.1 Oxygen System
WARNING!
Never stand directly in front of or directly behind the oxygen regulator
while opening the oxygen cylinder valve to reduce the risk of injury in the unlikely
event of regulator failure.
Oxygen mixed with oil or grease reacts explosively. Never use compressed air, oil,
solvents or other material to clean the oxygen system. Always keep oil and grease
away from the cutting torch, oxygen cylinders, valves, regulators, hoses and fittings.
Always make sure the oxygen cylinder is a safe distance form the immediate work
area. Never let sparks or molten material come into contact with the oxygen
cylinder.
1.
Connect the oxygen regulator to the oxygen source.
2.
Purge the regulator to remove debris by slightly opening the oxygen cylinder
valve and turning the regulator knob clockwise until a small stream of gas
escapes. Close the oxygen cylinder valve. (For preset regulators that have no
adjustment knob, slightly open, then immediately close the oxygen cylinder
valve to purge the regulator.)
3.
Connect the oxygen hose to the regulator.
4.
Slowly open the oxygen cylinder valve, pausing to let the pressure in the
cylinder, regulator and hose equalize before continuing.
5.
Adjust the oxygen regulator to between 10 and 80 psig, depending on the
target material and the type of work being performed. (Typical setting is 60-70
psig for cutting steel approximately 1” thick.)
6.
Check all connections for oxygen leaks.
