Symbol Usage DANGER! − Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 4 READ INSTRUCTIONS. Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully be- fore installing, operating, or servicing equipment. Read the safety information at the beginning of the manual and in each section. Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer. Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner’s Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and local codes.
  • Page 5 BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use. Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator. LIGHT RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Light rays from the welding and cutting process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin.
  • Page 6 A flashback arrestor can be installed on the torch handle instead of a check valve. Miller flashback arrestors have a reverse flow check valve and prevent the propagation of a flame up- stream.
  • Page 7 Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Do not use fuel gases to clean clothes or work area. Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your person before doing any welding or cutting.
  • Page 8 1-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.) This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

  • Page 9: Section 2 − Introduction

    SECTION 2 − INTRODUCTION Inspect all equipment before use. Do not use damaged, defect- ive, or improperly adjusted welding and cutting equipment. Make sure levers and valves work properly, threads on equip- ment are clean (no grease or oil) and not deformed, gauges are intact and easy to read, regulator is clean and free of oil or dirt, and fittings are properly sized for the cylinder.

  • Page 10: Section 5 − Equipment Set Up

    Oxygen: High purity oxygen accelerates the rate of combustion, in- creases heat output, and lowers the combustible point at which various materials will burn. Fuel: The fuel for combustion may be the regulator itself if enough heat is produced to reach the kindling temperature of the regulator’s compo- nents.

    used for oxy-fuel applications. One type is for use on cylinders and the other type is used for connection to a gas piping system, or station regu- ° ° lator. The service temperature range for these regulators is 0 F to 140 °...

  • Page 12: Installing Flashback Arrestors

    Ideally, these units should be mounted on the welding handles. If Miller add-on flashback arrestors are used, additional check valves are not necessary. 5-6. Combination Torch Components A combination torch consists of a welding handle and cutting attach- ment.

  • Page 13: Installing Straight (Hand) Cutting Torch

    5-9. Installing Straight (Hand) Cutting Torch Inspect equipment before use. Do not use if grease or oil is present on equipment or if equipment is damaged. Have equip- ment cleaned/repaired by a qualified person. Cutting torches are used to cut ferrous metals using oxygen and a fuel gas.

  • Page 14: Section 6 − Welding Tip Adjustment/Lighting Instructions

    Do not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the cylinder valve. Never open a cylinder valve suddenly as this can damage a regulator or cause an oxygen regulator fire. Verify that both regulator adjusting handles are turned counter- clockwise to the off position.

  • Page 15: Lighting And Adjusting Acetylene/Oxygen Welding Tips

    6-2. Lighting And Adjusting Acetylene/Oxygen Welding Tips Follow the set-up instructions explained in Section 5 before lighting the torch. Purge the hoses (see Section 6-1). Open the torch fuel valve1/8 turn and ignite the acetylene using an approved friction spark lighter. Do not use matches or a cigarette lighter to ignite the gas.

  • Page 16: Section 7 − Multi-Flame Heating Tip Adjustment/Lighting

    SECTION 7 − MULTI-FLAME HEATING TIP ADJUSTMENT AND LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Heating tips are set up and adjusted the same as welding tips. Follow the safety and operating instructions explained in Section 6. Be sure to force the gases through the heating tips to eliminate the possibility of gas starvation, which can result in overheat- ing the tip and the possibility of backfire, sustained backfire, or flashback.

  • Page 17: Adjusting The Acetylene Cutting Tip Flame (Cutting Assembly)

    8-2. Adjusting The Acetylene Cutting Tip Flame (Cutting Assembly) This procedure is for use with acetylene cutting tips. Make sure the sys- tem has been set-up and purged according to Section 8-1. Open the fuel valves on the torch handle 1/8 turn and light the fuel gas using a friction lighter.

  • Page 18: Section 9 − Straight (Hand) Cut Torch Adjust And Lighting

    Open the torch preheat oxygen valve 1/2 turn and allow the gas to flow out of the torch until both gauges indicate zero (0) pressure. Close the torch oxygen preheat valve. Close the oxygen valve on the torch handle and turn the oxygen regulator adjusting handle counterclockwise to the off position.

  • Page 19: Adjusting Fuel Gas Cutting Tip Flame (Other Than Acetylene)

    Slowly open the preheat oxygen valve; a long white flame will ap- pear. This is known as the acetylene feather. Continue to add oxy- gen and reduce the feather until it just disappears into the small, bright, inner cones at the end of the tip. This will produce what is known as a neutral flame.
