OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING
1. Attach regulators to the oxygen and acetylene cylinders. Follow all instructions supplied with your
regulators.
2. Attach oxygen and acetylene hoses to the regulators and to the torch handle, after making sure all
metal seating surfaces are clean. Tighten all connection nuts with a wrench.
3. Attach welding or heating head to the torch handle.
Tighten the connection nut with a wrench, but use
only slight force, since the threads have a low pitch
and excessive force may distort them.
4. Check throttle valve packing nuts for tightness.
Flashbacks can cause serious burns.
Be sure gas flow is sufficient for head or nozzle size.
Adjust regulators for proper psig pressures.
Adjust throttle valves properly.
Keep torch in good repair.
DO NOT throttle back gases to use large head or nozzle
on thin material.
LIGHTING AND FLAME ADJUSTMENT
1. Open the torch oxygen valve one-quarter of a turn.
2. Open the torch fuel gas valve one-half turn (two full
turns if low-pressure acetylene is being used) and
light the gas at the tip with a friction lighter. DO NOT
USE A MATCH. Use of a match can seriously burn
your hand.
3. Open the oxygen valve wide and adjust the fuel gas
valve to secure the desired flame. If a softer flame
is desired, reduce the oxygen flow by throttling the
oxygen valve and then readjust the fuel gas valve.
NOTE: When operating with a very soft flame, the
welding head will tend to heat up and transfer
some of this heat to the torch handle. This may
create some discomfort to the operator.
Be sure this information reaches the operator.
You can get extra copies through your supplier.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
These Safety Precautions are for your protection. They summarize precautionary information from the references listed
in Additional Safety Information section. Before performing any
installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below as well as all other
manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS - Some
welding, cutting and gouging processes are
noisy and require ear protection. Hot metal can
cause skin burns and heat rays may injure
eyes. Training in the proper use of the processes and equipment is essential to prevent
accidents. Also:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work area,
even if welding helmets, face shields, or goggles are also required.
2. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve shirt,
cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a welding helmet or
cap for hair protection, to protect against hot sparks and hot
metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection
against radiated heat and sparks.
3. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trousers
cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned,
and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.
4. Protect other personnel from hot sparks with a suitable nonflammable partition or curtains.
5. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can travel considerable distances. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety
glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS - Heat from a flame
can act as an ignition source. Hot slag or sparks
can also cause fires or explosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work
area or completely cover the materials with a protective nonflammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,
cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in
floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering fire on
the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected
from hot sparks and metal.
3. Do not weld, cut, or perform any other hot work on materials,
containers, or piping until it has been completely cleaned so
that no substances on the material can produce flammable or
toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers. They
may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such
as a garden hose, a pail of water or sand, or portable fire
extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use.
5. After completing operations, inspect the work area to be sure
that there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a
later fire. Use fire watchers when necessary.
6. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B, “Fire
Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes”, which
is available from the National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
FUMES AND GASES - Fumes and gases, particularly in confined spaces, can cause discomfort or injury. Do not breathe fumes or
gases from welding or cutting, Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical ventilation means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge
on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper,
zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive mechanical
ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes and gases from
these materials.
2. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation while
operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not adequate.
Stop work at once and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical
discomfort persists.
3. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 listed below for specific
ventilation recommendations.
4. WARNING: This product, when used for welding or
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installation,
troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do not operate or
repair any equipment unless you are qualified to do so.
2. Keep all oxy-fuel equipment free of grease or oil. Grease, oil,
and other similar combustible materials, when ignited, can burn
violently in the presence of oxygen.
3. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep equipment
away from heat and wet conditions, oil or grease, corrosive
atmospheres and inclement weather.
4. Keep all safety devices in position and in good repair.
5. Use equipment for its intended purpose. Do not modify it in
any manner.
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper pressure reducing regulator designed to operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors to mount the regulator on the cylinder. Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow manufacturer’s operating instructions for mounting the regulator to the gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap
to suitable hand trucks, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never
secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may
become part of an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have the valve
protection cap in place on top of the cylinder if no regulators is
installed. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand
trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, or flame of a welding, cutting, or gouging operation. Never strike an arc on a
cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, “Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders:, which is available from the Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SP-GA 10/98
SHUTTING OFF
Close the fuel gas valve first, then the oxygen valve.
If operations are to be stopped for a half-hour or more,
all pressure should be released from the torch hoses,
and regulators by doing the following:
1. Close each cylinder or station valve.
2. Open torch valves.
3. After relieving the gases, back out the pressureadjusting screw of each regulator and close the
torch valves.
IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES
1. Do not attempt to operate heads size 100 or larger
from a low-pressure acetylene supply (less than 5
psig).
2. Head size number of each welding and heating
head indicates the rated acetylene capacity in
cubic feet/hour (cfh). For example, No. 55A requires about 55 cfh of acetylene at normal operating pressure. However, on heating heads designed
for other fuel gases, the size indicates the approximate equivalent heating capacity in terms of acetylene flow. For example, No. 100A and No. 100FG
provide the same average heating output (147,000
Btu/hr) but No. 100FG head really requires about
62 cfh of FG-2, 57 cfh of propane, or 147 cfh of
natural gas.
For consumption purposes, the following are the oxygen/fuel gas ratios normally required for welding and
heating:
1.1 to 1.5 cfh oxygen/1.0 cfh acetylene
3.2 to 3.6 cfh oxygen/1.0 cfh FG-2
3.5 to 4.5 cfh oxygen/1.0 cfh propane
1.7 to 2.0 cfh oxygen/1.0 cfh natural gas.
PRECAUTIONS - NO. 55 and LARGER HEADS
Large welding and heating heads (No. 55 and above)
require high flow of oxygen and fuel gas for proper
operation. Failure to follow the following precau-
tions can result in serious overheating, flashback,
and possible operator injury.
1. Read and understand the operating instructions
packed with your torch as well as these precautions
before lighting up the welding or heating head.
2. Always operate with oxygen and fuel gas pressures
given in the tables.
3. Do NOT use hose line reverse flow check valves
when using No. 100 or larger welding or heating
head.
4. Use 3/8-in. I.D. hoses when using No. 55 or larger
welding or heating head.
5. Do NOT use whip hose, hose splices, nor hose
nipples smaller than 1/4-in. I.D. (“B”-size).
6. If using hose lengths greater than 25-ft., or if there is
any doubt about the adequacy of gas flows, use an
oxygen test gauge adaptor (P/N 07X17) and either
the acetylene (P/N 262510) or fuel gas (P/N 639422)
test gauge adaptor while the torch is operating to
make sure that the recommended operating pressures are available at the torch inlet.
7. Manifold two or more fuel gas cylinders to assure
adequate supply of fuel gas. The tables show the
number of commonly used cylinders recommended
for manifolding when using larger heads. If using
other cylinders or gases, check with your fuel gas
supplier for recommended withdrawal rate information.
8. In the event of a flashback, immediately close both
oxygen and fuel gas valves on the torch (preferably
oxygen valve first). For greater protection, install
1/4-turn quick shut off valve (P/N 999306) on the
torch oxygen hose connection.

Withdrawal rate will increase with wind velocity and intermittent usage;
reduce with lower temperature.
9. If the inner cone of the flame appears too short
(less than 1/4-in.), you are lacking fuel gas and the
head will tend to overheat. Recheck the above
precaution with your set up.
10. Do not bring the head too close to the work. Maintain
a distance of at least 1/4-in. between tip and work.
RECOMMENDED HOSE SIZES
Oxygen, Acetylene (medium-pressure) and Natural
Gas (at pipeline pressure over 5 psig): With head
sizes 4-30, 1/4-in. or 3/8-in. I.D. With head sizes 55 and
larger, 3/8-in I.D.
Acetylene (low-pressure) and Natural Gas (at pipeline pressure below 5 psi): With head sizes 4-70, 3/
8-in. I.D. hose. Head sizes 100-250, 1/2-in. hose. Do
not use over 25 feet of hose.

TESTING FOR LEAKS
Every welding and cutting outfit should be thoroughly
tested for leaks after it is first hooked up, and at regular
intervals thereafter. After all connections have been
made, make sure both valves on the torch handle are
closed. Then turn in the regulator pressure-adjusting
screw until the oxygen delivery-pressure gauge registers 50 psi, the acetylene delivery-pressure gauge
registers 10 psi. Using Leak Test Solution suitable for
oxygen service, such as P/N 998771 (8 oz. container),
check for leaks at the cylinder valves, the cylinder-toregulator connections, the regulator-to-hose connections, and the hose-to-torch connections. If bubbling at
any point indicates leakage, tighten the connection. If
this does not stop the leakage, close the appropriate
cylinder valve, open the torch valve to remove all
pressure from the line, and finally release the regulator
pressure-adjusting screw by turning it counterclockwise. Then break the leaky connection, wipe metal
seating surfaces with a clean, dry cloth, and examine
them for nicks and scratches. Remake the connection(s)
and retest. Do not try to light the torch until you are
satisfied that all connections are gas-tight.
After lighting the torch, and adjusting the flames, use
leak test solution to check for leakage at all torch valves,
and at the connection between the torch handle and the
welding head or cutting attachment.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Flow: There must be proper flow of gases for safe
operation and full performance. This requires the following three conditions: (1) the regulators that determine the inlet pressure to the hoses must be set to the
correct pressure: (2) the hoses and their connectors
must have adequate capacity for the job (hoses that
are too long, too small or have connectors with small
passageways can cause problems); and (3) the throttle
valves on the torch must be adjusted with the procedure shown in these instructions.
Note: Items (1) and (2) can be checked by measuring
the gas pressures
are available for this purpose.
Backfire: Improper operation of the torch may cause
the flame to go out with a loud ‘pop’. Such a backfire
may be caused by contact of the tip with the work,
spatter from the tip, or by attempting to operate with too
small a flame. After a backfire, you can normally relight
the flame immediately. If backfires occur repeatedly,
shut off the torch. Then reopen the oxygen valve,
check for correct oxygen pressure, and test for leakage at the welding head connection nut and tip connection nut. If there is leakage at either point, correct it (by
tightening the tip, or cleaning the seating surfaces on
the injector and in the torch body) before resuming
work.
Flashback: Under certain circumstances, the flame
may not ‘pop’ out (backfire) but instead burn back inside
the torch with a shrill hissing or squeal. This is called a
‘flashback’. A flashback should never occur if (1) the
equipment is in good condition; (2) preheat ports on
cutting nozzles or welding tips are cleaned frequently;
(3) operating pressures are correct; and (4) throttle
valves are adjusted properly. Should a flashback occur,
IMMEDIATELY shut off the torch. Allow it to cool off for
at least a minute. Then check your nozzle or tip, gas
pressure, readjust regulators if necessary, and relight
the torch. If flashback recurs, send the torch handle and
welding head or cutting attachment to ESAB
Remanufacturing Center or to your distributor for repair.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
For all repairs other than those covered below,
send the apparatus to your welding equipment
distributor or to ESAB Remanufacturing Center,
Ebenezer Road, Florence, SC 29501. Improperly
repaired apparatus is hazardous.
Torch Valves: Leakage around either throttle valve
can usually be corrected by tightening the packing nut
slightly. If it cannot be corrected, replace throttle valve
assembly.
If either valve fails to shut off completely, remove the
throttle valve assembly from torch and wipe the ball
seat on the end of the stem with a clean cloth. Then
reinstall the valve and tighten it heavily several times. If
this does not eliminate leakage, try a new throttle valve
assembly. If then the valve does not shut off completely,
send the torch handle to a repair station for reseating of
the body.
Tip Cleaning: If a welding tip produces a distorted,
irregular flame, clean the tip with an OXWELD tip
cleaner, or the correct size twist drill (see table on page
4). Do not attempt to clean with any other type of tool.
When using cleaning drills, push the drill straight in and
out; do not twist.
Injector Cleaning: The relative small central oxygen
orifice in an injector may become partially clogged with
small particles conveyed in the oxygen stream or
carbon particles produced by backfires. To clean or
replace an injector, remove it from the mixer tube (after
removing the connection nut retaining ring and sliding
the nut forward) by grasping it with a pair of pliers
between the seating surfaces and pulling it straight out
with steady force. Take great care not to mar the
injector seats or O-rings with the pliers. Clean the
central (oxygen) orifice with the correct size twist drill
(see table on page 4). Use no other tools. Replace Orings if damaged or worn. Replace the injector if its rear
seats are marred. When reinstalling injector, be sure to
push it in until its retaining O-ring is firmly seated in the
mixer tube.
