Setup Instructions

1. Secure Cylinders: Ensure oxygen and acetylene cylinders are secured upright to prevent tipping.
2. Clear Cylinder Valves: Briefly open and close the cylinder valves (cracking the valve) to clear any dust or debris from the outlets. Stand to the side of the valve when doing this.
3. Attach Regulators:
   • Attach the D250-80-540 Oxygen Regulator to the oxygen cylinder valve. The oxygen connection typically has right-hand threads. Tighten securely with a wrench.
   • Attach the D250-15-510 Acetylene Regulator to the acetylene cylinder valve. The acetylene connection typically has left-hand threads (indicated by a groove on the nut). Tighten securely with a wrench.
4. Batanidza Hoses:
   • Connect the green hose (oxygen) to the oxygen regulator outlet and the oxygen inlet on the WH270FC-V Torch Handle.
   • Connect the red hose (acetylene) to the acetylene regulator outlet and the acetylene inlet on the WH270FC-V Torch Handle.
   • Ensure all hose connections are tight. Oxygen connections use right-hand threads; acetylene connections use left-hand threads.
5. Attach Torch Components:
   • For cutting, attach the CA 270-V Cutting Attachment to the WH270FC-V Torch Handle.
   • For welding, attach the 0-UM-1 Welding Nozzle to the WH270FC-V Torch Handle.

Operating Instruction

A. Starting the Torch

1. Open Cylinder Valves: Slowly open the oxygen cylinder valve fully. Slowly open the acetylene cylinder valve no more than 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
2. Set Regulator Pressures:
   • Turn the oxygen regulator adjusting screw clockwise to set the desired working pressure (refer to tip manufacturer's recommendations).
   • Turn the acetylene regulator adjusting screw clockwise to set the desired working pressure (refer to tip manufacturer's recommendations).
3. Purge Hoses: Briefly open the oxygen valve on the torch handle to purge air, then close. Repeat for the acetylene valve.
4. Light the Torch:
   • Slightly open the acetylene valve on the torch handle.
   • Use the striker to ignite the gas.
   • Slowly open the oxygen valve on the torch handle and adjust both oxygen and acetylene valves to achieve the desired flame (neutral, carburizing, or oxidizing).

B. Shutting Down the Torch

1. Close Acetylene Valve: Vhara vharuvhu yeacetylene iri pamubato wetochi.
2. Close Oxygen Valve: Close the oxygen valve on the torch handle.
3. Close Cylinder Valves: Close the oxygen cylinder valve, then close the acetylene cylinder valve.
4. Bleed Hoses: Open the oxygen valve on the torch handle to release pressure from the oxygen regulator and hose until both regulator gauges read zero. Close the oxygen torch valve. Repeat for the acetylene side.
5. Back Out Regulator Screws: Turn both oxygen and acetylene regulator adjusting screws counter-clockwise until they are loose. This relieves spring tension and prolongs regulator life.

Maintenance

• Kugara Kuongorora: Periodically inspect hoses for cuts, cracks, or wear. Check all connections for tightness.
