Torches handles
2. Make sure that the gas shutoff cocks on the torch and the supply installation are closed.
3. Connect the hoses to the torch and to the supply point. Make sure the coupling elements and
the hoses are in good conditions in order to be connected. Check there are no leaks.
4. MINOR, SENIOR AND UNIVERSAL: The cutter is coupled to the handle without a tool. It can be
fastened perfectly well just by tightening the nut by hand, by means of a cone with two O-rings.
Take care not to damage them, as this could give rise to gas flashbacks and backflow.
5. Fit the nozzle tip to be used and tighten with wrench so they fit correctly into the cutter head.
6. Open the supply system cocks and choose the pressures on the pressure regulators depending
on the nozzle tip chosen. Open the oxygen adjustment cock on the handle and make sure the
oxygen adjustment cock on the cutter is closed.
7. To turn the cutter nozzle tips on, open the fuel gas cock and apply a spark to the nozzle tip with
a stone lighter. Never use the flame directly. Now, open the cutter oxygen adjustment cock.
8. Once the nozzle tip has been lit, adjust the flame by using the cutter oxygen and fuel gas cocks.
9. To begin cutting, first heat the part to be cut and then use the auxiliary lever which lets the
cutting oxygen come through. Keep the nozzle 4 or 5 mm. away from the part to be cut.
3.2.- INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WELDER TORCH.
1. Before beginning work, make sure that the gas supply installation and the adjustment and safety
elements are in perfect conditions for use.
2. Make sure that the gas shutoff cocks on the torch and on the supply installation are closed.
3. Connect the hoses to the torch and to the supply point. Make sure the coupling elements and the
hoses are in perfect conditions in order to be connected. Check there are no leaks.
4. Choose the correct nozzle tip and fit it onto the nozzle with the correct injector.
5. Fit the assembly onto the handle by tightening the coupling nut by hand. Take care not to damage
the O-rings, as this could give rise to gas flashbacks.
6. To light up the nozzle tips, open the supply installation cocks. Open the fuel gas cock on the torch
and apply a spark with a stone lighter. Do not use the flame directly. Finally open the oxygen
cock.
7. Adjust the flame until a neutral dart is obtained.
8. To turn off the torch first close the fuel gas adjustment cock and then the oxygen one.
NEVER TRY TO CONNECT ANY NOZZLE TIP OR DEVICE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN
MANUFACTURED AND EXPRESSLY RECOMMENDED BY GALA SOL. IF OTHER
!
NOZZLE TIPS ARE USED ACCIDENTS COULD OCCUR.
4.- SAFETY MEASURES
4.1.- SAFETY OF PEOPLE:
-
Use protective goggles while working.
-
Protective gloves and clothing, resistant to heat and incandescent particles must be used to prevent
burns. The clothing must be free from oil and grease.
-
Any fumes and gases given off during the cutting or welding work may be harmful. Make sure the
working place is sufficiently ventilated, and if not, use auxiliary ventilation or aspiration means. Do
not use oxygen currents or compressed air.
-
Remember that oxygen in the presence of oil and grease produces violent explosions.
