TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:
Turn the Oxygen and Acetylene Regulator Valves fully clockwise to close
(oxygen first and acetylene second) before making any adjustments or
performing any inspection or service to this product.

“Cracking” is to quickly open and close the valve,
allowing a small amount of gas to escape and
clearing the valve of any foreign material.

If oil or grease is found,
discontinue using cylinder and
immediately contact your gas supplier.
Briefly open valve to clean,
