Basic How-To

For those getting started (please refer to your instruction manual for operation instructions), you'll need to know the following (these ARE NOT directions for proper usage.. if in doubt, take a class, read a book, or ask a master welder):

1. The new tanks you get will most likely get exchanged out for pre-filled tanks at your local welding supply store so don't get attached to those newly painted tanks that you just bought moments before!
2. Always keep your tanks upright (i.e. do not lay them down)
3. Oxygen tanks are usually green and any oxygen-related fitting is also green
4. Acetylene tanks are sometimes red but their fittings are usually red
5. The torch comes installed with a check flow valve or flashback arrestors. Check valves prevent backwards flow while flashback arrestors cuts off the gas flow in the event of a flashback.
6. Acetylene hose thread is LEFT handed while everything else is RIGHT handed. The left-handed thread will have markings or indentations on it.
7. Do not use teflon tape on the threads
8. Oxygen and acetylene pressure to the hose should be equal (for example, 3 psi oxygen, 3 psi acetylene)
9. Acetylene pressure should not exceed 15 psi (your regulator will show a "red zone" after 15 psi). Adjust this by letting out pressure with the torch and adjust accordingly.
10. Wear welding woggles and gloves. Protect your eyes and hands! Welding goggles or full face shields will not be as dark as those used in arc welding processes, so you'll be able to wear them even as you prepare to weld. Lens shades 0f 3-5 should be good for this setup.
11. Never use oil or grease on or around oxygen equipment
12. Always ONLY use a striker to light your torch
13. To light your torch, open the torch valve for acetylene and then strike it, then apply the proper oxygen flow for the right neutral flame.
