10. Never dip the rod in water for cooling.
11. Do not use the oxygen cylinder included with your kit for medical uses.
12. Shut off the gas if the torch's fuel tube (B) is hot to the touch and inspect it
the burner tip for blockage or wear (see Care and Maintenance).
a. Residual warmth from use does not indicate a problem.
13. Reflected heat may transfer to the torch handle. This can cause a burn
injury or damage to materials that touch the handle. Wear appropriate
gloves when using the handle and take breaks during the work to allow the
handle to cool.
14. Protect the torch's hoses.
a. Do not expose to caustic liquids or chemicals that can compromise
the hose material.
b. Do not allow the hose to twist or treat it roughly. Sharp objects or abrasive
surfaces can damage the hose and create a fire or explosive hazard.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops and hot
metal parts that can start fires.
1. Perform welding, brazing and soldering on a fire resistant surface such as
firebrick. The heat generated by the torch may overwhelm the thermal
capacity of brick, concrete or metal. This may cause a fire or result in an
explosion from thermal shock.
2. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable
materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away from the welding unit. Hot debris
ejected during welding can land at a considerable distance away. Solid
floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred working surface.
a. Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or shields, if
it cannot be removed. The covering must be tight and should not
leave openings for sparks or ejected slag to enter.
b. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material. Remove
the combustible material before welding.
3. Seal cracks and openings to adjacent areas that a spark or slag can enter.
Seal any openings found with a fire-resistant cover. Shut doors and windows
