person before doing any welding. Hot welding sparks may light the
matches or ignite leaking lighter fuel.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function.
Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
2.
Do not use the tool if any parts are damage broken or misplaced. Repair or
replace the parts.
a.
The torch has a built-in flame arrestor. Immediately shut off the both
fuel cylinders if the flame disappears into the torch and you hear a
high-pitch sound. Consult the Care & Maintenance section to
determine if the torch tip requires replacement.
3.
Use only the recommended fuel with this torch. Other fuels can damage
the hose and fittings, causing a gas leak.
4.
Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead can eject chips
or fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the eyes or
skin of the user or bystanders.
5.
Do not point the torch at yourself, bystanders, animals or flammable
materials. The MAPP / oxygen burns at a temperature that reaches 5,300°F
(2,295°C).
6.
Disconnect both fuel cylinders when the torch is not in use.
7.
Have a level surface to place the torch down. This will reduce the chance of
accidentally tipping the cylinders over. The torch must not point at anything
nearby that can ignite.
8.
Do not handle hot metal, the torch or rod stub with bare hands. Handling
may result in a burn injury.
a.
Use a tool to hold a brazing/welding rod. It may be hot even when the
end isn't glowing.
9.
Do not use the welding torch if personal movement is confined or if there
is a danger of falling.
