Setting Up the Torch |
 |
Setting up the torch is a critical step - It is much less forgiving than others. "Please read and understand the the user manual, especially the Safety and Warning sections. Do not forget to install the check valves." You use the #3 tip (3 rings) for pressure setting |
|
Both valves on the torch handle (red and blue) should be fully open.
|
  |
Increase the pressure on the regulator on the acetelyne to 1 PSI and light, Then increase to approximately 4 1/2PSI - slowly increase oxygen pressure until neutral flame is obtained. |
 |
This is a gauge calibration check - This also takes into account all hose and regulator combinations.
|
 |
Just off feather or neutral flame. |
 |
You want the cone to be 1/2" to 9/16" - In the field, the large end of the provided wrench measures 1/2" and is a handy ruler. |
 |
Turn oxygen in until you see this small cone and it measues 1/2" to 9/16". This is what we call the neutral flame - when the "feather" just dissapears. |
 |
Now select your tip (see page 6 of manual)
