2. Connect the torch connector (E) to the butterfly screw of the lateral bar (H).
3. Tighten both butterfly nuts.
4. Adjust the angle and tighten the connection.

Connecting the torch tip

NOTICE
Risk of material damage due to incorrect installation
If the tip is tightened too much, it will heat up during operation and become difficult to remove. Resulting damage to the tip will lead to backfire.

• Do not overtighten the tip.
• Avoid damage to the tip.

1. Select a suitable tip.
2. Insert the tip.
3. Tighten the nut with the two attached wrenches.

Determining the correct number of chain links
The chain can be adapted to suit most diameters by increasing or decreasing the number of links. The required number of links is calculated as follows:
Let Y be the number of links and D be the diameter of the pipe in centimeters rounded up to the next full centimeter.
The formula then is Y = D + 12.

Example:
The diameter of a pipe is 258 mm. 258 mm = 25.8 cm.
Rounded up, it is 26 cm.
Y = 26 +12 = 38 links.

Changing the wheels

1. Unscrew the screws on the wheels using a Phillips screwdriver size 1.
2. Remove the wheels.
3. Put on new wheels.
4. Fix the wheels with the screws using a Phillips screwdriver size 1.

Positioning the device on the pipe

WARNING
Risk of crushing
Improper assembly and disassembly of components can result in crushing of limbs.

• Do not reach into the hazardous areas.
• Check and wear your personal protective equipment.

1. Calculate the required number of links.
2. Position the device on the pipe.
3. Turn the butterfly nut (B) to lower the bracket with the sprocket.
4. Place the chain over the sprocket.
   Let the chain hang vertical to the pipe.
   
5. Close the links.
   Verify that the rounded side of the chain faces toward the pipe!
6. Turn the butterfly nut (B) clockwise to fix the device on the pipe.
   Leave a clearance of 1 to 2 mm so that the device can run smoothly.
7. Hold the device and release the clutch lever (C).
8. Move the device within a range of 120° and align chain.

Operating the device

WARNING

Risk of injury or damage due to backfire
Backfires may cause serious accidents or fire.

• When a backfire occurs, you should find the cause.
• Inspect and maintain the device correctly before using it again.
• The following are causes of backfire:
  • Improper gas pressure adjustment
  • Overheated tip
  • Dross clogging in tip
  • Damage to the tapered section of tip or torch
  • If oil or grease is used on the connections of the oxygen hose

NOTICE

Material damage due to flashback
Flashbacks can cause fire and damage to the device. If there is a hissing sound in the torch, proceed as follows:

• Immediately disconnect the following supplies at the gas inlet into the device or on the gas cylinders’ side:
• Oxygen supply
• Fuel gas supply

Selection of suitable torch tip

1. Select a tip that fits the thickness of the material to be cut.
2. Insert tip into torch.
3. Fix tip by tightening the nut with the two wrenches.
   If the material to be cut is heavily rusted or you need a bevel cut with an angle exceeding 20 degrees, select the tip one grade higher than specified in the cutting data.

Putting into operation

Adjust the gas pressure on the following valves:

1. Open the fuel gas valve 1/4 turn.
2. Open the pre-heating oxygen valve 1/2 turn.
3. Light the torch with an igniter.
4. Gradually open the pre-heating oxygen valve until the standard flame shows a white cone. The incandescent area should be uniform and have a length about 5 to 6 mm.
5. Open the cutting oxygen valve fully.
6. Re-adjust the flame so it shows an orderly flow.
   NOTICE
   Bad cutting quality due to improper gas setting
   A disorderly oxygen flow will have a serious negative impact on the cutting surface.
   • Close the pre-heating oxygen and fuel gas valve.
   • Keep the cutting oxygen flowing and clean tip with a needle.
     
   • A neutral flame ensures a good quality cut surface.
   • An oxygen flame shortens the flow of the cutting oxygen and can be used for bevel cutting. It can cause slug deposition or melting of the upper cutting surface.
   • Due to the high pressure of the cutting oxygen, a carbonizing flame has similar effects as the oxidizing flame.
7. Adjust the torch at a suitable distance from the surface: Acetylene gas: 8 to 10 mm Propane gas: 5 to 8 mm.

Cutting
There are three ways to start cutting:

1. Drill a hole and start on the edge of the hole, or
2. Pierce through the material, or
3. Start from the edge of the material.
   Then
4. Align the torch tip with the cutting start point.
5. Open the valves as described in chapter 7.2.
6. Ignite the torch with a lighter.
7. Adjust the flame.

8. Pre-heat the cutting point until it is white hot.
9. Open the valve for the cutting oxygen about 1/8 turn.
10. Position the torch tip about 15 to 20 mm above the surface to be cut in order to prevent contamination of the tip.
11. Inspect the cutting state and use the knob (M) to control the cutting speed.
12. Hold the butterfly nut (B) with one hand during operation. When the device moves down, support it, and when it moves up, lift it, as shown in the following illustration.
    
13. In order to change direction, turn the knob (M).
    Turning the knob clockwise moves the device forward; turning the knob counterclockwise moves the device backward.

Bevel cutting
The torch connector is equipped with two holes. For bevel cuts, position the torch in the lower one. Proceed as follows:

1. Position the torch in the lower hole of the torch connector.
2. Position the torch holder and torch in the required angle.
3. Fix the torch with the butterfly nut (B).
4. Choose a tip one grade larger than specified in the cutting data for the material thickness.
5. Use an oxidizing flame and reduce the speed a little bit.
