Also inspect fittings for damage. If any damage is found, replace immediately. � dO nOt repair hose with tape. � Always use reverse flow check valves on torch and flashback arrestors on the regulator. this greatly reduces the possibility of mixing gases in the regulator or hoses. reverse flow check valves are an important safety precaution. � Working pressure on the acetylene regulator should neveR be set above 15psi (1bar). � Keep all threads and unions clean and free from oil, dirt or grease. � never apply oil or grease to any thread. � these instructions cover the use of the kit on mild steel. if used on any other materials, extra precautions will have to be taken. � Make sure that there is a good flow of air to the user and the tip, at all times. use a welding fume extractor if conditions are poor or space is confined. � never leave the gun alight and unattended. � for safety advice regarding gas bottles (oxygen and acetylene) refer to the supplier of the bottles. � Make sure bottle keys are in place at all times so that in the event of an emergency the valves can be turned off quickly. � Keep hoses away from flame at all times. Make sure that hoses are laid flat where possible and not in a position where they can be run over by vehicles, which would result in permanent damage. � leakinG HOses can kill. leak test all connections and valves prior to each use of the equipment. � If hoses are not long enough, join them together with the manufacturer’s couplings only. � dO nOt join damaged hoses, they must be replaced immediately. � remember at all times Blue = oxygen ‘o’ Red = Acetylene ‘A’ � At no time may you interchange parts contained in this kit with those of other manufacturers. only sealey replacement items should be used. � Acetylene fittings have a left-handed thread and notches on hose unions to indicate this. � the regulators in this kit have no user-serviceable parts. All repairs/calibrations must only be undertaken by a BcgA approved service agent. 2. cOntents fig.1 © Jack sealey limited Original Language Version sgA1.V3 Issue: 1 - 27/09/13
