PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment approved by the

Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American National

Standards Institute (ANSI).

HEAD PROTECTION

DANGER! Never look directly at the welding arc without the

proper protection. The light can cause flash burn damage and

impair vision. Although treatment is possible, multiple

occurrences can result in permanent eye damage.

1. Protect your eyes from welding light by wearing a welder's helmet

fitted with a filter shade suitable for the type of welding you are

doing. The welding process produces intense white light, infrared

and ultraviolet light, these arc rays can burn both eyes and skin.

1.1. Consult the Welding Shade Guide in Appendix A for the

minimum shade to protect the eyes based on the amperage

and type of welding.

2. An opaque helmet will protect against the ultraviolet or infrared

light. A helmet will also protect against ejected hot material and

slag. The helmet should protect the face, forehead, ears and neck.

3. Wear a fire-resistant head covering like a skullcap or balaclava

hood to protect your head when the faceplate is down or when

using a welding hand-held face shield.

4. Wear ventilated safety goggles beneath the welding helmet or

behind the hand-held face shield. The cooling weld bead may

fragment or eject slag that can damage the eyes, when the helmet

or hand-held face shield is not in place.

4.1 Eye protection equipment should comply with CSA Z94.3-07

or ANS I Z87.1 standards based on the type of work

performed.

5. Wear fire resistant earplugs when welding overhead to prevent

spatter or slag from falling into ear.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

1. Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full foot

protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks, heat, flames and

V1.0 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit 8835910

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 5

splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics may burn and melt,

resulting in a more severe injury.

1.1 Wear welding capes and sleeves when performing overhead

welding.

2. Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily or

greasy as they may ignite from the heat or ejected slag and sparks.

3. Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or

infrared light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.

4. Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such as pant

cuffs, shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has flaps over

pockets or wear clothing to cover the openings such as pant legs over

the boots or an apron over the shirt.

RESPIRATORS

1. Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not sufficient to

remove welding fumes or when there is risk of oxygen deficiency.

1.1. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on materials

that produce dust or particulate matter.

2. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated or while

wearing an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes and gases can

displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be

sure the breathing air is safe (See Fumes and Gases).

3. The user can take the additional precaution of informing another

person in the work area of the potential danger, so that person can

watch for indications that the user is suffering from oxygen deprivation.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid

personal injury or damage to the tool.

1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medications.

2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with

the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.

3. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing and balance

enables better control in unexpected situations.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

4. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the

workpiece by hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.

5. Do not wear any personal grooming products that are flammable,

such as hair preparations, perfume or cologne with an alcohol base.

6. Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches,

from your person before doing any welding. Hot welding sparks

may light the matches or ignite leaking lighter fuel.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained

from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety

rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer

serious personal injury.

Welding produces sparks, molten slag, intense white light, plus infrared

and ultraviolet light. A cooling bead can eject chips or fragments of

slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the eyes and skin of the

welder or bystanders.

1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a

specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for

an unintended purpose.

2. Welding requires a helmet with full face protection per CSA

standard Z94.3.1.

3. Protect against reflected arc rays. The rays can reflect off a shiny

surfaces behind the user, into the helmet and off the filter lens into

the eyes. Remove or cover any reflective surface behind the user

such as a glossy painted surface, aluminum, stainless steel or glass.

4. Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead can

eject chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct

harm to the eyes or skin of the user or bystanders.

5. Erect protective screens or barriers to protect bystanders from the

flash and glare; warn others in the area not to watch the arc. Do not

strike a welding arc until all bystanders and you (the user) have

welding shields and/or helmets in place.

6. Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a scratched or

damaged lens filter to avoid damage to the eyes or face from arc

flash or ejected molten material.

V1.0 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit 8835910

7. Do not handle hot metal rods with bare hands. Handling may result in a

burn injury.

8. Do not use the welding unit if personal movement is confined or if

there is a danger of falling.

9. Do not point the torch at any body part of yourself or at anyone else.

10. Do not use a welding unit to thaw frozen pipes.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS

Welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops

and hot metal parts that can start fires.

1. 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.

1.1 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.

1.2. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material.

Remove the combustible material before welding.

2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire resistant

covering. Alternatives are to spray the floor with water to keep it wet

for the duration of the welding or cover with damp sand.

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 that do not provide ventilation or erect

protective screens in front of them when possible.

4. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines or containers containing

flammable contents.

5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held

flammable or toxic substance, until they are cleaned by a person

trained in removing toxic and flammable substances and vapours

per the American Welding Standard AWS F4.1.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

8 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

6. Open a container before performing any welding work on it. The

heat generated by the welding process will cause the air and gases

to expand. The internal pressure may cause a sealed or closed

container to rupture, possibly causing an injury or death.

7. Inspect oxy-fuel apparatus for oil, grease or damaged parts. DO

NOT use the oxyfuel apparatus if oil or grease is present or if

damage is evident. Have the oxy-fuel apparatus cleaned and/or

repaired by a qualified repair technician before using it.

8. Keep flames, heat and sparks away from cylinders and hoses.

9. Never test for gas leaks with a flame. Use an approved leak-

detector solution such as soapy water.

10. Do not weld pipes or metal that are covered in combustible

material or in contact with combustible structure such as a wall.

Only weld if the covering can be safely removed.

10.1 Follow all safety precautions and legal requirements before

welding a workpiece that contains Asbestos or attempting to

remove the Asbestos covering. This requires expert

knowledge and equipment.

10.2 Molten slag can run down the inside and outside of a pipe

and start a fire. Be aware where the pipe terminates and take

precautions.

11. Do not weld a panel that is a sandwich construction of combustible

and metal materials.

12. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry chemical

fire extinguisher for Types A, B and C is suggested.

12.1 Welding a combustible metal like zinc, magnesium or

titanium requires a Type D fire extinguisher.

13. Ventilation systems should be positioned so sparks or molten slag

isn’t carried to an adjacent area.

14. Have a Fire Watcher observing areas outside of the welder’s view,

such as the opposite side of a wall or behind the welder. A fire may

also start on the other side of a structure that could not be removed.

The Fire Watcher will extinguish a fire or raise the alarm to evacuate if

the fire cannot be contained by the extinguishing equipment.

V1.0 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit 8835910

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9

14.1 A fire watch extends at least 30 minutes after the welding is

complete to ensure there are no fires caused by smoldering

sparks or ejected material.

15. Never point the stream of pure oxygen at a greasy surface. The

oxygen can ignite the grease and cause a fire, risking the lives of

those in the area.

16. Never exceed 15 PSI output when using acetylene. Acetylene is

explosive at pressures of 29.4 PSI or above. Acetylene gas is

dissolved in liquid acetone within the cylinder to prevent this.

FUMES AND GASES

WARNING! Stop welding and move to a location with ventilation if

your eyes, nose or throat become irritated. This indicates the

ventilation is not adequate to remove the fumes. Do not resume

welding until the ventilation is improved and the discomfort

ceases. Seek medical attention if the symptoms do not diminish

or if the welder experiences nausea, dizziness or malaise.

Welding may produce hazardous fumes and gas during the welding

process. A well ventilated work area can normally remove the fumes

and gases, but sometimes the welding produces fumes and gases that

are hazardous to your health.

1. Only work in a confined space if the area is well ventilated or while

wearing a respirator or an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes

and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing

injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe. Always have a

trained watchperson nearby.

1.1 If ventilation in the work area is poor, use an approved air-

supplied respirator. All the people in the work area must also

have air-supplied respirators.

2. Avoid positions that allow welding fumes to reach your face. Always

attempt to weld ‘upwind’ of the workpiece with the airflow across the

face of the welder. Airflow from behind may create a low pressure area

in front of the welder and draw the fumes to the person.

3. Ventilate the work area to remove welding fumes and gases. The

fumes and gases should be drawn away from the user.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

3.1 Ventilation should be enough to disperse fumes, but not

enough to disturb the flame during welding.

3.2 Ventilation exhaust shall be directed to a non-work area to

avoid exposing other people to potential toxic or dangerous

fumes.

3.3 Air removed from the work area by the ventilation system must be

replenished with fresh air to avoid oxygen starvation or a build-up

of fumes or gases. Only use air to provide ventilation. Any other

combination of gases may be explosive or toxic to people in the

work area.

3.4 Ventilation methods that remove gas and fumes from the

welding point before they reach the welder’s face should be

given preference.

4. Avoid welding in a work area that has vapours from cleaning,

degreasing or any spraying operations. The heat and light from

welding can react with the vapour and form irritating or potentially toxic

gases. Wait for the vapours to disperse.

5. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for

instructions and precautions about metals, consumables, coatings,

cleaners and degreasers.

5.1 Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanized, lead or

cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the

weld area. The coatings and any metals containing these

elements can give off toxic fumes during the welding process.

5.2 Do not weld, cut or heat lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury, beryllium

or similar metals without seeking professional advice and

inspection of the welding area’s ventilation. These metals

produce extreme toxic fumes, which can cause discomfort,

illness and death.

5.3 Do not weld or cut near chlorinated solvents or in areas that

chlorinates solvents can enter. The heat or ultraviolet light of

the arc can separate chlorinated hydrocarbons into a toxic gas

(phosgene) that can poison or suffocate the user or

bystanders.

COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Improper handling or maintenance of compressed gas

cylinders and regulators can result in serious injury or death. Do

not use a cylinder or its contents for anything other than its

intended use.

1. Open the oxygen cylinder’s valve completely to seat the cylinder’s

seal and packing.

2. Do not attempt to mix gases or refill a gas cylinder. Exchange a

cylinder or have it refilled by a professional service.

3. Do not deface or alter the name, number or other markings on a

cylinder. Do not rely on a cylinder’s colour to identify the contents. Do

not connect a regulator to a cylinder that contains a gas that the

regulator was not designed to handle.

4. Do not expose a cylinder to excessive heat, sparks, slag, flame or

any other heat source.

4.1 A cylinder exposed to temperatures above 130 °F will require

water spray cooling.

5. Do not expose a cylinder to electricity of any kind.

6. Do not attempt to lubricate a regulator. Always change a cylinder

carefully to prevent leaks and damage to the cylinder’s walls, valve

or safety devices.

7. Gases in the cylinder are under pressure. Protect the cylinder from

bumps, falls, falling objects and harsh weather. A punctured

cylinder under pressure can become a lethal projectile. If a cylinder

is punctured, do not approach until all pressure is released.

7.1 Protect the valve and regulator. Damage to either can result in

regulator’s explosive ejection from the cylinder.

8. Always secure a gas cylinder in a vertical position to a welding cart or

other fixed support with a steel chain, so it cannot be knocked over.

8.1 Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to

physical damage.

8.2 Do not use as an improvised support or roller.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

9. Always place the cylinder cap securely on the cylinder unless it is

in use or being serviced.

10. Do not use a wrench or hammer to open a cylinder valve that

cannot be opened by hand. Notify your supplier for instructions.

11. Do not modify or exchange gas cylinder fittings.

12. Close the cylinder valve and immediately remove the faulty regulator

from service for repair, if any of the following conditions exist:

12.1 Gas leaks externally.

12.2 Delivery pressure continues to rise with the downstream

valve closed.

12.3 The gauge pointer does not move off the stop pin when

pressurized or fails to return to the stop pin after pressure is

released.

13. Do not attempt to make regulator repairs. Send faulty regulators to

the manufacturer's designated repair center.

14. Do not weld on the gas cylinder.

15. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when

opening the cylinder valve.

16. Compressed gas cylinders must not be located in a confined

space with the person welding to prevent the possibility of leaks

displacing the oxygen.

UNPACKING

ASSEMBLE THE CONNECTIONS

1. Check the each cylinder’s valve and threads. Remove debris by

hand or quickly open and close the valves to blow debris out.

Confirm each valve is closed.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

14 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

2. Screw the red acetylene fuel regulator (M) into the acetylene

cylinder (P) and make sure it is secure.

3. Screw the green oxygen regulator (J) into the oxygen cylinder (K)

and make sure it is secure.

4. Screw a flashback arrestor (L) into each regulator’s low pressure

outlet. Make sure the arrows on the arrestor match the gas flow

direction when installing.

4.1 Only install flashback arrestors designed for the type of gas in

the cylinder.

5. Screw the red acetylene fuel supply hose (O) to the flashback

arrestor on the acetylene cylinder (P).

6. Screw the green oxygen supply hose (N) to the oxygen

cylinder (K).

7. Install hose check valves (D) onto the inlets of the torch body (B) or

cutting blowpipe.

8. Screw one of the three swaged nozzles (A), the heating nozzle or

the cutting tip onto the welding body (H) based on the welding

task. Tighten the coupling nut to secure.

9. Connect each supply hose to the correct check valve. Re-confirm

the oxygen and acetylene fuel hoses are connected to the correct

inlets.

10. Confirm all valves are closed.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

Check for gas leakage after each time the welding unit is set up for

welding and at regular intervals.

1. Connect the regulator and gas hose assembly and then tighten all

connectors and clamps.

2. Slowly open regulator valve on the acetylene fuel cylinder until the

hose is pressurized.

3. Close the cylinder valve and pay attention to the needle indicator

on the regulator’s pressure gauges. If the needle drops away

towards zero, there is a gas leak.

V1.0 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit 8835910

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 15

A drop in the low pressure gauge indicates the leak is in the hose

or blowpipe. A drop on the high pressure side indicates the leak is

the cylinder connection. The regulator itself may be the problem

regardless of which gauge shows a pressure drop.

Sometimes a gas leak can be slow and difficult to identify. Leave

the gas pressure in the regulator and line for an extended time.

Close the cylinder valve and check after a minimum of 5 minutes.

4. Open the blowpipe valve and purge the hose of acetylene.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 with the oxygen cylinder and hose.

6. After confirming there is a loss of gas, check all connectors and

clamps for leakage by brushing or spraying with soapy water.

Bubbles will appear at the leakage point.

7. Tighten clamps or fittings to eliminate gas leakage. Replace the

clamps and fittings if this fails to solve the problem.

8. Repeat this test when changing the tips or heating nozzle between

tasks.

OPERATION

WARNING! Perform all welding in a well-ventilated area to help

prevent the concentration of flammable and/or toxic fumes.

Matching the swaged and cutting nozzle size to the task is important to

control the gas flow and heat applied to the workpiece.

An oversized nozzle requires more gas to generate the correct amount

of heat. This will also expose a larger area to the heat and may cause

unwanted distortion in the metal.

An undersized nozzle may overheat and become unusable due to

damage. Reducing the gas flow to reduce the heat may cause a

flashback if the flow is too low.

Consult the following charts to determine the correctly sized nozzle for

the task and the correct pressure setting for each gas cylinder.

LIGHTING THE BLOWPIPE

WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment before igniting

the blowpipe to avoid a burn injury or blindness (see Safety).

1. Purge the acetylene fuel hose and blowpipe by opening the fuel

regulator valve to eject contaminants. Leave open for 5 seconds for

every 25 feet of hose. Close the fuel valve on the blowpipe.

2. Next, purge the oxygen hose and blowpipe in the same way. Close

the oxygen valve on the blowpipe.

3. Open the torch fuel valve approximately 1/8 turn. You want the

minimum amount of gas

4. Hold the spark lighter nozzle so it does not obstruct the gas flow.

Activate the lighter to ignite the gas.

6. Open the oxygen valve on the torch handle and adjust until the

feather disappears leaving a small inner flame. This is a neutral

flame.

7. An additional step for the cutting torch is to press the lever (G) to

introduce additional oxygen. The inner flame should not change if

properly set. Adjust if necessary.

8835910 Victor Style Heavy Duty Cutting and Welding Kit V1.0

SHUTTING DOWN

1. Close the blowpipe’s oxygen valve, then close the acetylene valve.

1.1 Closing the acetylene valve before the oxygen valve can cause

a flashback or backfire.

2. Close both cylinder valves to stop the gas flow.

3. Reopen the blowpipe’s acetylene valve to allow it to purge. Close

the valve.

4. Reopen the blowpipe’s oxygen valve to allow it to purge. Close the

valve.

5. Close both regulator valves.

FLASHBACK

Flashback occurs when the flame travels into the torch, up the hose and

into the fuel or oxygen cylinder. A loud pop may occur and a shrill

hissing sound can be heard when the flame is burning inside the torch.

A flashback arrestor (L) will stop the flame from passing through to the

next section. A flashback will blow through a check valve without

stopping. A flashback arrestor must be installed after the regulator to

protect the gas cylinders.

When a flashback occurs, immediately shut off the oxygen supply at the

blowpipe and then the cylinder. Then shut off the acetylene fuel.

Allow the torch and tips to cool before attempting to reuse them.

Discontinue use if a second flashback occurs and have a qualified

technician examine and repair the torches or hoses.
