7 Cut hoses to the minimum possible length. Short hoses reduce hose
damage and pressure drop, as well as reduce the flow resistance.
1.3.5 Safety precautions for fire
Take safety precautions to prevent fire prior to gas cutting.
Ignoring hot metal, sparks, and slag could cause a fire.
1 Keep a fire extinguisher, fire extinguish sand, bucket full of water,
etc. ready on the site where gas cutting is performed.
2 Keep flammables away from the cutting area to avoid exposure to
sparks.
3 Always cool down steel plates that have become hot after cutting,
as well as hot cut parts or scrap, before bringing them close to
flammables.
4 Never cut containers to which flammable materials are stuck.
1.3.6 Safety precautions for skin burns
Observe the safety precautions to prevent skin burns. Ignoring heat,
spatter, and sparks during operation could cause a fire or burned skin.
1 Do not perform cutting near flammables. (Move flammables well
away from the sparks).
2 Do not cut containers filled with flammables.
3 Do not keep lighters, matches and other flammables nearby.
4 Flames from the torch will burn the skin. Keep your body away from
the torch and tip and check the safety before operating the switches
and valves.
5 Wear the correct protectors to protect your eyes and body.
6 Correctly tighten the tip to prevent backfire (see paragraph 5.5)
7 Check with soapsuds for any leakage from gas from the connection
part of the distributor, hose and torch.
Never use oil or grease on the connection of the oxygen pipe to
avoid backfire which may lead to explosion.
8 Be sure to check the following when igniting:
a Always wear the required protectors (gauntlets, helmet, goggles,
etc.)
b Check for any obstacles, dangerous materials and flammables
near or in the direction of cutting. Determine the gas pressure.
c The gas pressure must be within the appropriate range. (For the
gas pressure, refer to the Cutting Data).
9 The torch, tip and heat shield are heated to a very high temperature.
Always wear gauntlets when handling them. Also the surface after
cutting is very hot so do not touch it even while wearing gauntlets.
