9.Before operating the acetylene generator, check the explosion-proof and anti-release safety devices such as the explosion-proof disc (diaphragm), explosion-proof needle and the release guard. After replacing the calcium carbide, the acetylene gas containing air in the container must be released before welding and cutting can be allowed.
Waterproof protective device1. Before using the water seal safety device, check the water level once with the water level control valve (check again after quenching) and check for air leakage.

3. The oxygen hose is black and the acetylene hose is red. Do not confuse when connecting to the welding torch.
4. If the acetylene hose falls, breaks or catches fire during operation, first extinguish the flame of the welding torch or torch, and then turn off the gas supply. When the oxygen hose is lit, the oxygen cylinder valve must be quickly closed toYou stop the oxygen supply. The bending method for extinguishing an oxygen hose fire is not allowed. When an acetylene hose ignites, the front bending method can be used to extinguish a fire.
5. Do not put rubber hoses on high-temperature pipes and wires or press on the hoses with heavy or hot objects, and do not run hoses and electric welding wires together. Avoid cutting when using. If the hose passes through a roadway, a sheath or sheath should be added.
Oxygen tank1. Each gas cylinder must be used for a period of regular inspection (three years), the color code is obvious, and the cylinder cap is intact. Oxygen cylinders should be stored separately from other cylinders containing flammable gas, lubricants, and other flammable items, and should not be transported in the same vehicle. Bottle caps are required for transport and storage when using gas cylinders. Do not lift oxygen cylinders while driving or using a crane.
2. The oxygen cylinder accessories are faulty or defective and the valve screw must be stopped when it slips. Oxygen cylinders should be placed vertically on a fixed support to avoid accidents caused by falling.
3. Do not use oxygen cylinders without pressure reducers.
4. The oxygen in the oxygen cylinder must not be completely used up, the residual pressure in the cylinder must be at least 0.05 MPa, and the valve must be tightened, and the “empty cylinder” mark must be written on it.
5. When opening the oxygen valve, use special tools and move slowly. Do not face the decompression gauge, but make sure that the gauge pointer is flexible and normal.
6. When the oxygen cylinder is in the same place as welding, the bottom of the cylinder must be covered with insulators to prevent it from entering the secondary circuit of the welding machine.
7. Oxygen cylinders should avoid heat and impact and should be placed as vertical as possible when in use, and a one-way valve should be installed on the main confluence outlet pipe used in parallel.
Acetylene bottle1. During operation, transportation and storage, the acetylene cylinder must be fixed vertically, it is strictly forbidden to lay it down or drop it, avoid strong vibrations and collisions, use a special trolley during transportation, and do not use a crane. pick it up; at ambient temperatures above 40°C, cooling measures must be taken.

Working with a flashlight1. Copper wire or bamboo stick must be used for the transparent welding tip, and iron wire is prohibited.
2. Before use, check the injection and suction power of the welding torch or torch. The method is as follows: first connect the oxygen tube, open the acetylene valve and the oxygen valve (the acetylene tube must be disconnected from the welding torch and torch at this time), and lightly touch the acetylene inlet on the welding torch with your fingers. If there is suction, then good suction capacity. When connecting the acetylene gas line, first make sure that the flow of acetylene gas is normal, and then connect it. If there is no suction, or even oxygen flows from the acetylene joint, it must be repaired, otherwise it is strictly forbidden to use it.
3. Depending on the thickness of the workpiece, select the appropriate welding torch, cutter, welding nozzle, and cutting nozzle. Avoid using the welding torch for cutting thick metal, and use a small cutting nozzle for cutting thick metal.
4. After the welding and injection test of the torch is normal, the connection should be firmly connected with the oxygen rubber tube, and the acetylene inlet connection and the acetylene rubber tube should not be connected too tight, so as to prevent air leakage and easy insertion is appropriate. It is not allowed to use a leather tube that has been fired during aging and hardening.
5. There must be enough clean water in the work area to cool the welding tip. When the welding torch (or torch) makes a “pop” due to excessive heat, the acetylene gas supply valve should be closed immediately and the welding torch (or torch) should be placed in water to cool. Please note that it is better not to close the oxygen valve.
6.When resting for a short time, the welding torch valve (or pboat) must be tightly closed, and the welding torch must not be placed on the ground. When resting for a long time or leaving the workplace, it is necessary to extinguish the flare, close the ball valve of the gas cylinder, relieve the pressure of the pressure reducer, release the residual gas in the pipe, shut off the water supply, and then pack the hose and tools.
7. Operating rules for ignition of a welding torch or torch
(1) Before igniting, quickly open the valve of the welding torch (or torch) and purge it with oxygen to check the nozzle outlet, but do not aim at the face to check the wind. Do not use when there is no wind;
(2) When welding in a container, ignition and extinguishing must be carried out outside the container;
(3) For a jet-suction welding torch (or torch), the acetylene valve on the welding torch (or torch) should be slightly ajar when ignited, and then directed towards the wick or match to ignite. , turn on the oxygen flywheel immediately to adjust the flame. If it is found that the welding and cutting torch is defective, after igniting and supplying oxygen, the oxygen must be immediately turned off to prevent the explosion of fire or the explosion phenomenon during ignition;
(4) When using the acetylene cutting machine, acetylene gas should be released first, and then oxygen should be released to start the fire;
(5) When using a hydrogen cutting machine, hydrogen must be released first, and then oxygen must be released to start a fire.
8. When the flame goes out, the burner must first close the acetylene valve and then close the oxygen valve. The torch must first shut off the cutting oxygen, and then shut off the acetylene and oxygen preheat valves. When a backfire occurs, if there is a fire on the rubber hose or the backfire prevention device, the oxygen valve and acetylene valve on the burner must be quickly closed, and then the primary oxygen valve and acetylene valve must be closed, and then fire extinguishing measures. should be accepted.
9. When oxygen and hydrogen are used together, acetylene gas is released first, then hydrogen gas, and finally oxygen gas, and then ignites. When it goes out, turn off the oxygen first, then the hydrogen, and finally the acetylene.
10. When working with the welding torch and torch, the rubber hose must not be worn on the back. Do not use a welding torch (or torch) flame to ignite.
11. During use, if gas leakage is found in the gas passage or valve, stop operation immediately. Continue to use after the air leak has been repaired.
12. When the air source pipeline passes through the pedestrian crossing, it must be closed and keep a safe distance from the electrical circuit.
13. The place of gas welding (cutting) should be well ventilated, and when welding (cutting) in a container,mechanical ventilation.
