ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The BEAM BUG III is shipped in two boxes, open each box carefully:
A. The large box contains the machine, torch mount, torch, tips and
hose.
B. The smaller box contains the ange rail.
2. A BEAM RAIL is required for the BEAM BUG III to operate on. When
ordered with the BEAM BUG III, the BEAM RAIL is shipped in a sepa-
rate box.
3. Install the Rack Assembly (G) on Flange Rail (B) [See Fig.1] in appropriate hole for the ange size being cut, using Fasteners (X) provided.
4. Remove small Screw (A) from torch end of Flange Rail (B).
5. Plug Power Cord (W) into appropriate power source. Pilot Light (Y)
will glow when power is on.
6. Lay machine on its back and carefully guide Flange Rail (B) through
Wheels (C) from top of machine (handle side) toward bottom. Throw Vertical Travel Switch (E) “Down”, carefully engage Pinion (D) with
rack and feed rail through bottom set of Wheels (F). When Flange Rail
(B) is approximately 12" (300 mm) past bottom of machine, stop rail travel,
and replace small Screw (A) from [Step 4] and throw Vertical Travel
Switch (E) “Up”. Rail should stop automatically when screw contacts limit
switch.
7. Mount Swivel Torchholder Assembly (H) on Rack (G).
8. Install Right Angle Fittings (AA) on Torch (BB). Connect Check Valves (CC) into Right Angle Fittings (AA). Connect Hoses (K) to Check

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SQUARE CUTS
1. Accurately mark the line where the cut will be made on the beam. Install Beam Rail (N) approximately 8" (200 mm) behind this line (The rack t e e t h on
beam rail should face away from line). Make sure beam is free of dirt, chips,
and other debris which would prevent magnets or beam rail from setting
at and result in a crooked cut. Place Beam Rail (N) on the beam and adjust, making sure it is parallel to the layout line (parallelism is most
important). Next install the two “C” Clamps (Z) to hold down end opposite magnets.(Ref. Fig. 2)
2. Depress Clutch Knob (R) and slide BEAM BUG III onto beam rail.
NOTE: Clutch Knob (R) faces away from rack teeth on beam rail.
Be sure all four wheels are on the rail before starting. (Ref. Fig. 2)
Z
E
R
3. In case Torchholder (H) was bumped during shipment, check to see
that it is parallel to the rail as follows (Ref. Fig. 3):
A. Lock Rackholder (I) on Rack (G) [or torchholder assembly].
B. Swing Torch (BB) to a horizontal position and measure distance
from Torch Tip (DD) to edge of Rack (N).
C. Swing Torch (BB) 1800 and measure distance from Torch Tip (DD) to edge of Rack (N) on other side.
D. These two measurements must be equal. If they are not, loosen Socket Head Cap Screw (T) and nudge Torchholder (H) around the vertical axis, and retighten Clamp Knob (U) when the mea- sured distances (repeating Steps B and C) are equal.

4. Plug the Power Cord (W) into an appropriate power source. Pilot Light (Y)
will glow when power is on.
5. Open Torch Valves (EE) throw Quick Acting Manifold (S) lever “Down”
to “Open” position to set fuel gas and oxygen regulators. See Chart (M)
on the side of machine for tip size and pressure vs. thickness.
6. Close Torch Valves (EE), reopen slightly and light - adjust preheat
ame. Turn off preheat with Quick Acting Manifold (S).

7. To make a square cut: (Ref. Fig. 4, 5 & 6).
A. Set Rack (G) in holes on Flange Rail (B) which corresponds to
the thickness of the ange you are cutting. Run BEAM BUG III out beyond ange and swing torch so tip faces ange.
B. Run Flange Rail (B) downwards until Torch Tip (DD) is slightly
below bottom of ange and stop (use maximum speed).
C. Switch on gases using the Quick Acting Manifold (S) light Torch (BB), and set cutting speed. When preheat is adequate,
open Cutting Oxygen Valve (FF) [bat handle on torch] and start vertical travel - adjust speed to suit.
NOTE: As cut comes close to web slow down vertical travel to
insure adequate penetration of web - once past web, increase
travel speed to optimum.
D. When cut has reached the top of ange, turn off preheat gases using the Quick Acting Manifold (S) and Cutting Oxygen Valve
(FF), limit switch will stop travel.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D.)
SQUARE CUTS
E. Depress Clutch Button (R) and move BEAM BUG III over web.
Swing torch vertical and position tip over cut in web, switch on
gases using the Quick Acting Manifold (S) and relight torch. When
preheat is adequate open Cutting Oxygen Valve (FF) [bat handle on
torch] and start travel in cut direction. Adjust speed to optimum. Stop
horizontal travel as close to ange as possible, and turn off gases
using Quick Acting Manifold (S) and Cutting Oxygen Valve (FF).
F. Swing torch to horizontal position (tip facing ange). Move BEAM
BUG III out beyond edge of ange and repeat Steps 2, 3 & 4.
8. We recommend the rst ange cut to be on the magnet side of BEAM
RAIL.

B. COPING CUTS
1. Follow directions for square cut and use Knob (V) to move torch “In”
and “Out” for the “COPING” cut.
C. BEVEL CUTS
1. Flanges may require preheating prior to cutting.
2. Position torch horizontally at top of ange to be cut, light torch (preheat
flame) throw Vertical Travel Switch (E) “Down”. This will preheat ange. Once the tip has passed the ange bottom, stop travel, and
prepare to make upwards cut. (Always cut vertically “Up”). See Step 7 of
“SQUARE CUTS” on page 9.
3. A hand preheating torch may be used on heavy sections.
D. MITER CUTS
1. Miter cuts can be made with the following BEAM RAILS: ARR-9214,
ARR-9236, ARP-9045, and ARR-9046, see page 17. for more detailed
descriptions and capacities.
2. Accurately mark a line where cut will be made on the beam. Install the
BEAM RAIL approximately 8" (200mm) behind this line (The rack teeth
should face away from line). Again as in square cutting, having the
BEAM RAIL parallel to the line is most important! Make adjustments as
required. When the BEAM RAIL and line are parallel install the two “C”
Clamps (Z) to hold down end opposite the magnets.
3. Preheating the anges before cutting may be required when mitering a
beam. See procedure under “BEVEL CUTS”.
E. CAUTION
1. Be sure the anges under the BEAM RAIL are smooth and free from burrs,
slag, etc. Any obstruction under the BEAM RAIL results in a crooked cut.
2. Be sure to raise Flange Rail (B) and Torch (BB) to clear top at ange
before engaging horizontal travel!
3. The BEAM BUG III is protected by a Circuit Breaker (J) against electri-
cal malfunctions, or overloads. If the circuit breaker pops, determine
and correct the cause, before pushing in button to reset.
4. If the Torchholder Assembly (H) is bumped or dropped check to see
that it is still parallel to Rail (N) as per Step 3 of “SQUARE CUTS”. (Periodic checks are recommended to insure square cuts).

ADJUSTABLE BEAM RAILS
ARR-9045 / ARR-9046
The adjustable beam rail makes it possible to use the BEAM BUG III for miter
cutting in addition to straight cutting, beveling and coping. The adjustable
beam rail can be positioned for 00 - 450 cuts, in either direction on any beam
up to a 36" (915 mm) wide ange, [60" (1525 mm) with ARR-9046].
The adjustable beam rail is positioned on the work using two magnetic bars,
which fasten on each ange. Two stop plates hold the rail perpendicular to
the work for straight cutting. By loosening the eccentric clamp assemblies and
sliding the stop plates toward the center, the rail can be rotated to any angle
between 00 and 450 in either direction. The rail is locked in the appropriate
position, parallel to the layout line, by tightening the clamp assemblies.
A miter cut on the web is set up using the same eccentric clamps and sliding
either one of the magnetic mounting assemblies away from the other one. The
rail is then clamped in position, ready to cut, 00-450. Two knob screws with
ball ends enable you to “slide” the magnetic bar easily from one position to
the other, and may also be used to release the magnets from the workpiece.
The adjustable beam rail has a net weight of 42 lbs. (19 kg) and a shipping
weight of 75 lbs. (34 kg).
ARR-9046 adjustable beam rail has a net weight
of 65 lbs. (30 kg) and a shipping weight of 90 lbs.
(41 kg).
CAUTION:
Remove BEAM BUG III from rail
when releasing magnets or adjusting.
