equipment should not be used without
proper training in safety precautions and
procedures by a qualified instructor.
Compliance with all federal, state and
local regulations is required.
Prior to using this equipment, read all
information in the Safety Guidelines.
Failure to do so may result in fire,
explosion, damage to equipment,
severe personal injury or substantial
property damage.
GAS CYLINDERS
Obtain gas cylinders with standard CGA
fittings from a local welding gas
supplier. An Oxygen cylinder with a
CGA-540 valve and Acetylene cylinder
with a CGA-510 valve is required.
1. Secure gas cylinders in the upright
position to a stationary support, wall,
workbench, post, etc.
2. Remove the cylinder safety cap and

3. Momentarily open and close the
cylinder valve ('valve cracking') to
dislodge any contaminants in the
valve seat area. DO NOT discharge
flow of gas at any person or
flammable material.

4. Carefully inspect the regulators for
damaged threads, dirt, dust, grease,
oil or other flammable substances.
Remove any contaminants with a
clean cloth. All acetylene connections
use left-handed threads while the
oxygen connections are right
handed. Attach the regulators to the
cylinder valves and tighten securely
