In this document, the phrase “welding and cutting” also refers to oth- er oxy-fuel operations like brazing and heating. 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.

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.

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.

Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding or cut- ting operation. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with ap- proved covers. Do not weld or cut where flying sparks can strike flammable material. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Be alert that welding and cutting sparks and hot materials from welding and cutting can easily go through small cracks and open- ings to adjacent areas.
Do not modify or repair cylinders or valves. Store leaking acetylene cylinders outdoors in a safe area. Identify leaking cylinders and re- turn them to the supplier. Dispose of used disposable cylinders according to the manufactur- er’s recommendations. Do not throw cylinders in fire. Follow instructions provided by the gas supplier and on com- pressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and in Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

spect de ces procédures peut causer des risques d’incendie, d’explosion, d’asphyxie, de dommages matériels ou de blessures. Cet équipement doit être utilisé dans le respect de toutes les réglementations fédérales, provinciales et munici- pales, ainsi que celles du Ministère des Transports et de l’as- sociation CGA (Compressed Gas Association).

LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent être dangereux. Le soudage et le coupage produisent des vapeurs et des gaz. Respirer ces fumées et ces gaz peut être dangereux pour votre santé. Garder la tête à l’extérieur des vapeurs et des fumées et ne pas les respirer.

LES RAYONS DE L’ARC peuvent provoquer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la peau. Les rayons d’arc issus des procédés de soudage et de coupage produisent des rayons visibles et invisibles intenses (ultraviolets et infrarouges) qui peuvent entraîner des brûlures aux yeux et à la peau. Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.

Un intercepteur de rentrée de flamme peut être installé sur la poignée de la torche au lieu d’un clapet anti−retour. Les pare−flashback Miller ont un clapet anti−retour d’écoulement inverse et empêchent la pro- pagation d’une flamme en amont. Si un intercepteur de rentrée de flamme est installé, un clapet anti−retour n’est pas requis.

Utiliser uniquement les gaz recommandés par le fabricant de l’équipement d’oxycoupage utilisé. Ne jamais allumer une torche avec des allumettes ou un briquet. Toujours utiliser un dispositif à friction. Ne pas utiliser de l’acétylène au−dessus de 15 psi (103 kPa). Il est acceptable d’utiliser des régulateurs d’acétylène qui indiquent une pression statique allant jusqu’à...

Ne soudez pas ou ne coupez pas si l’air ambiant est chargé de particules, gaz, ou vapeurs inflammables (vapeur d’essence, par exemple). Porter une protection corporelle en cuir ou des vêtements ig- nifuges (FRC). La protection du corps comporte des vêtements sans huile, comme p.
Éliminer les bouteilles à usage unique usagées selon les recom- mandations du fabricant. Ne pas jeter les bouteilles dans le feu. Lire et suivre les instructions sur les bouteilles de gaz comprimé, l’équipement connexe et le dépliant P-1 de la CGA (Compressed Gas Association) mentionné...
SECTION 3 − 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.
Use only compressed gas cylinders that are approved by the Depart- ment of Transportation (DOT) with this equipment. The torch will operate on cylinders that are available from Miller or from your local welding sup- ply dealer. 5-1. Industrial-Type Cylinder Information Industrial acetylene cylinders are pressurized to approximately 250 psig (1,724 kPa).
Do not splice or use damaged hose. Use only the hoses that are supplied by Miller. These hoses trans- port low-pressure gases from the regulator to the torch tips. The hose is color coded (red) for fuel gas.
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. With the system pressurized and the torch valve closed, check every connection and joint from the cylinder valve to the torch tip with an ap- proved leak detection solution (Figure 2).

Miller must be notified in writ- ing within thirty (30) days of such defect or failure, at which time Miller will pro- vide instructions on the warranty claim procedures to be followed. Miller shall honor warranty claims on warranted equipment listed below in the event of a defect within the warranty coverage time periods listed below.
Page 23
The exclusive remedies for warranty claims are, at Miller’s option, either: (1) repair; or (2) replacement; or, if approved in writing by Miller, (3) the pre-ap- proved cost of repair or replacement at an authorized Miller service station; or (4) payment of or credit for the purchase price (less reasonable depreciation based upon use).
