5.2.LIGHTNING AND REGULATING OF THE WELDING, HEATING AND
CUTTING ATTACHMENTS
5.2.1. WELDING, BRAZING AND HEATING
NOTE: This torch operates on the injector principle. The instructions below should
therefore be followed carefully.
1.
Check the sealing washer (7) on the inlet connection of the attachment for dam-
age.
2.
Fit an appropriate welding or heating attachment with a nozzle into the shank.
3. Close the oxygen valve (4) and the fuel-gas valve (3).
4. Set recommended working pressures by means of the adjusting screw on the
regulators.
5. Purge the hose briefly with gas by opening the oxygen valve (4). Long hoses
and/or small cutting nozzles require somewhat longer purges. Close the oxygen
valve (4).
6. Open the fuel-gas valve (3) and purge as above. Maintain sufficient fuel-gas flow
for proper purging. Close the fuel-gas valve (3).
7.
Open valve for oxygen (4) a little and than for the fuel-gas valve (3) a little bit
more.
8.
Light the gas mixture in front of the welding or heating nozzle.
9. The heating flame can be adjusted by means of the oxygen valve (4) and the
fuel-gas valve (3).
10.
The device is now ready for use.
5.2.2. CUTTING
NOTE: Cutting attachments operates with both system of the mixing. Check the
previous chapter. The instructions bellow should therefore be followed carefully.
1. Check the sealing washer (7) on the inlet connection of the attachment for
damage.
2. Fit a cutting attachment into the shank.
3. Fit an appropriate cutting nozzle
4.
Close the oxygen valve (4) and the fuel-gas valve (3). Release the lever or close
the cutting oxygen valve (14).
5. Fully open valve for heating oxygen on the cutting attachment (13).
6.
Set recommended working pressures by means of the adjusting screw on the
regulators.
7.
Purge the hose briefly with gas by opening the oxygen valve (4). Long hoses
and/or small cutting nozzles require somewhat longer purges. Close the oxy-
gen valve (4) and the heating oxygen valve (13).
8.
Open the fuel-gas valve (3) and purge as above. Maintain sufficient fuel-gas
flow for proper purging. Close the fuel-gas valve (3).
9. Open the oxygen valve (4) fully, heating oxygen valve (13) a little and fuel-gas
