6.0 OPERATING PROCEDURES

 

 

WARNING!

  Always protect yourself from spark and splatter burns.  Never operate 

the torch without the leather shield in place. 

 

6.1 Cutting Rod Ignition 

 

WARNING!

 Always hold the striker plate 

by the plastic handle to avoid electric 

shock.  Never touch the copper plate. 

 

Never touch or hold an ignited cutting rod. 

 

Caution:  

Prolonged contact between the 

cutting rod and the striker plate can 

overheat the battery causing damage. 

 

1.

 

Point the cutting rod away from your body.  Never point the rod at bystanders. 

 

2.

 

Start the flow of oxygen by lightly squeezing the oxygen control lever on the 

torch. 

 

3.

 

Bring the striker plate into contact with the end of the rod. 

 

4.

 

While holding the rod at a 45

°

- 90

°

 angle to the striker plate, slowly pull the 

rod across the striker plate surface. 

 

5.

 

Rod sparkling indicates ignition.  Approximately 2-5 seconds of contact is 

required for ignition. 

 

6.

 

Maintain slight pressure on the oxygen lever to ensure complete ignition. 

 

7.

 

Lift the rod from the striker plate and bring it to the target material. 

 

8.

 

Place the striker plate in a safe location away from the work area.
