Operating the Torch:

The manufacturer's recommendations for testing, lighting and utilizing the equipment should always be followed. Only a spark lighter or other suggested lighting device should be used. Shaded or tinted eye protection and other suitable clothes must be worn.

The most broadly accepted manner to light the torch is to open the fuel-gas valve slightly, and light the gas with a spark lighter. Adjust the fuel gas till a stable flame is maintained at the end of the tip. Open the oxygen preheat valve gradually and increase the flow till the desired flame is attain. The intensity of the flame should be adjusted by slightly enhancing or decreasing the volumes of both gases.
