INSTRUCTIONS for

These INSTRUCTIONS are for experienced operators. If you are not fully familiar with the principles of operation and safe practices for oxy-fuel

gas equipment, we urge you to read our booklet “Precautions and Safe Practices for Gas Welding, Cutting and Heating, Form 2035. Do NOT

permit untrained persons to install, operate, or maintain this equipment. Do NOT attempt to install or operate this equipment until you have

read and fully understand these instruction. If you do not fully understand these instructions, contact your supplier for further information.

The torches covered by these instructions are made to exact specications. It must be used only in combination of cutting nozzles and parts

manufactured by ESAB Welding & Cutting Products, and used in gas service for which it is designed. The use of other cutting nozzle and

parts that cause damage or failure to the equipment will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Do NOT use torch with acetylene. Using acetylene can over-

heat and burn torch which can cause injury to personnel in

the operation area.

The PM-100, PM-200, and PM-300 Machine Cutting Torches are

post mixed design permitting the oxygen and fuel gas to be mixed

externally at the exit end of the torch. No internal mixing of the

gases occurs in the torch. Highly ecient mixing occurs due to

the distribution of preheat gases and shielding gases around the

cutting oxygen stream. This produces an extraordinarily long

high-heat zone permitting high stando of torch to workpiece;

thus increasing the life of the torch and nozzle.

The PM-100, PM-200, and PM-300 were designed for automatic

cut-o operations, such as hot and cold slab cut-o, slitting, and

end cropping. Contour (shape) cutting can also be done provided

edge starts are used to initialize the cuts.

The PM-100 has a 1-3/8” (35 mm) diameter barrel suitable for

standard torch holders. The PM-200 and PM-300 have 2" (51 mm)

barrels which are suited to larger torch holders as found on most

heavy duty cutting machines.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED (See Fig. 1)

1. Hoses – On the PM-100 Torch , use 3/8-in. (9.5 mm) I.D. hose

for cutting oxygen, preheat oxygen, and fuel gas with proper

“B” – size ttings (9/16” – 18 right hand threads for oxygen;

9/16 – 18 left hand threads for fuel gas).

(On the PM-200, use ½-in. (12.7 mm) cutting oxygen hose with

“C” – size tting, on the PM-300, use ¾-in. (19 mm) cutting

oxygen hose with “D” - size tting.)

2. Regulation Panels – OXWELD Regulation Panels are OSHA

Approved and are for station regulation of the preheat gases

and cutting oxygen. They include all valves, safety devices,

and oxygen lter for reliable long service life. The panels

are mounted to a frame which can be easily mounted to

a wall or column. OXWELD Regulation panel P/N 2116395

recommended. Be sure to read and understand all instruc-

tions packed with each regulation panel before installing or

operating.

These Safety Precautions are for your protection. They sum-

marize precautionary information from the references listed

in Additional Safety Information section. Before performing any

installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and fol-

low the safety precautions listed below as well as all other

manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to ob-

serve Safety Precautions can result in injury or death.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS - Some

welding, cutting and gouging processes are

noisy and require ear protection. Hot metal can

cause skin burns and heat rays may injure

eyes. Training in the proper use of the pro-

cesses and equipment is essential to prevent

accidents. Also:

1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work area,

even if welding helmets, face shields, or goggles are also re-

quired.

2. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve shirt,

cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a welding helmet or

cap for hair protection, to protect against hot sparks and hot

metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection

against radiated heat and sparks.

3. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trousers

cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned,

and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.

4. Protect other personnel from hot sparks with a suitable non-

flammable partition or curtains.

5. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grind-

ing. Chipped slag may be hot and can travel considerable dis-

tances. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety

glasses.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS - Heat from a flame

can act as an ignition source. Hot slag or sparks

can also cause fires or explosions. Therefore:

1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work

area or completely cover the materials with a protective non-

flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,

cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coat-

ings, paper, etc.

2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in

floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering fire on

the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected

from hot sparks and metal.

3. Do not weld, cut, or perform any other hot work on materials,

containers, or piping until it has been completely cleaned so

that no substances on the material can produce flammable or

toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers. They

may explode.

4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such

as a garden hose, a pail of water or sand, or portable fire

extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use.

5. After completing operations, inspect the work area to be sure

that there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a

later fire. Use fire watchers when necessary.

6. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B, Fire

Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes, which

is available from the National Fire Protection Association,

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

FUMES AND GASES - Fumes and gases, par-

ticularly in confined spaces, can cause dis-

comfort or injury. Do not breathe fumes or

gases from welding or cutting, Therefore:

1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natu-

ral or mechanical ventilation means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge

on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper,

zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive mechanical

ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes and gases from

these materials.

2. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation while

operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not adequate.

Stop work at once and take necessary steps to improve venti-

lation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical

discomfort persists.

3. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 listed below for specific

ventilation recommendations.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE - Faulty or improperly

maintained equipment, such as torches, hoses and

regulators, can result in poor work, but even more

important, it can cause injury or death through fires.

Therefore:

1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installation,

troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do not operate or

repair any equipment unless you are qualified to do so.

2. Keep all oxy-fuel equipment free of grease or oil. Grease, oil,

and other similar combustible materials, when ignited, can burn

violently in the presence of oxygen.

3. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep equipment

away from heat and wet conditions, oil or grease, corrosive

atmospheres and inclement weather.

4. Keep all safety devices in position and in good repair.

5. Use equipment for its intended purpose. Do not modify it in

any manner.

GAS CYLINDER HANDLING - Gas cylinders, if

mishandled, can rupture or explode violently.

Sudden rupture of a cylinder, valve or relief de-

vice can injure or kill you. Therefore:

1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper pres-

sure reducing regulator designed to operate from the com-

pressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors to mount the regu-

lator on the cylinder. Maintain hoses and fittings in good con-

dition. Follow manufacturers operating instructions for mount-

ing the regulator to the gas cylinder.

2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap

to suitable hand trucks, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never

secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may

become part of an electrical circuit.

3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have the valve

protection cap in place on top of the cylinder if no regulators is

installed. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand

trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.

4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, or flame of a weld-

ing, cutting, or gouging operation. Never strike an arc on a

cylinder.

5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, Pre-

cautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylin-

ders:, which is available from the Compressed Gas Associa-

tion, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

TESTING FOR LEAKS

The system should be thoroughly tested for leaks after it is rst

hooked up, and at regular intervals thereafter. With the system

pressurized down to the shuto valves, apply Leak Test Solution

suitable for oxygen service, such as P/N 998771 (8 oz. container),

on all joints and connections. Bubbling of the solution indicates

leakage. If leakage is detected, tighten the connection. If this does

not stop leakage, then shut o the appropriate gas supply and

open the torch valve to remove pressure from the system. Break

the leaky connection, wipe metal seating surface with a clean

dry cloth, and examine them for nicks and scratches. Remake the

connection(s) and retest. Do not try to light the torch until you are

satised that all connections are gas tight.

After lighting the torch and adjusting the ames, use leak test

solution to check for leakage around hose connections at each

valve and torch tting and at the nozzle nut.

LlGHTlNG AND FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Open each valve and light the gas at about 3 inches from the

nozzle face with a friction lighter. Do NOT use a match. Use of a

match can seriously burn your hand.

Adjust pressure at the regulator if necessary. The torch is designed

to operate over a wide range of preheat pressures. The pressures

given in the Table may be used as a starting point. Depending on

the type steel being cut, small adjustments may be necessary for

best performance.

SHUTTING OFF

Close the cutting oxygen valve. Then close the preheat oxygen

and fuel gas valves.

If operations are to be stopped for a half-hour or more, pressure

should be released from all regulators as follows:

1. Close station valve of each gas supply.

2. Open all torch shuto valves.

3. When pressure on each regulator gauge drops down to zero,

back out regulator pressure-adjusting screw.

4. Close torch shuto valves.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Backre: Improper operation of the torch may cause the ames to

go out with a loud “pop”. Such a backre may be caused by contact

of nozzle with the work, by the use of incorrect gas pressures or

by leakage at the cutting nozzle seats due to dirt or nicks on the

seats or to a loose nozzle nut.

Burnback: Under certain exceptional circumstances, the ame

may not “pop” out (backre) but instead burn back at the torch

nozzle and head. A burnback should never occur if the nozzle

is tight and equipment is in good condition. Should a burnback

occur, IMMEDIATELY shut o the torch. Allow it to cool o for at

least a minute. Remove torch from holder and visually inspect for

damaged or galled threads, nicks on nozzle or seat. If damaged,

replace the torch. If no damage is evident, replace nozzle and

tighten and relight. If burnback recurs, send the torch along with

the nozzle in use only to ESAB Remanufacturing Center, Ebenezer

Road, Florence, SC 29501.

Note: For hot cutting applications - Regulation panels

do not include the capability for controlling the

cooling water/air – these must be supplied by

customer.

If a regulation panel is not used, refer to Fig. 1 for proper

placement of regulation equipment.

3. Valves – These torches are valveless. Control of the gases

should be done by adjusting the regulators on the regulation

panel. If a regulation panel is not used, suitable ball valves or

remotely operated solenoid valves, and regulators should be

installed for on-o torch control.

4. Pipeline Filters – Regulation panel P/N 2116395 includes an

oxygen lter. If a regulation panel is not used but lters are

desired, use P/N 2116734 for oxygen and P/N 2116339 for fuel

gas. Filters should be installed ahead of the inlet connection

of each regulator.

5. Adaptors/Piping - 3/4-in (19mm) piping is recommended from

each gas source to the regulators. Various commercially avail-

able adaptors will be required for the system. Be sure that all

piping and adaptors are free of grease and oil. Grease, oil, and

similar combustible materials once ignited burn violently in

the presence of oxygen. Teon tape or paste or an approved

pipe compound must be used on all pipe threads.

6. Cutting Nozzles - Select desired nozzle from Cutting Data

table.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

1. Air/Water Cooling – The torches are equipped with two

air/water ttings (5/8”-18 RH male). Air at 10 psi (0.4 bars) or

water is recommended for torch cooling when torch is used

for hot cutting operations.

2. Gauge Adaptors – The following gauge adaptors are recom-

mended for setting the gas ows (see Table). Gauge adaptors

connect to the inlet connections but should be removed when

cutting over hot material.

CONNECTING

1. Before connecting, make sure all metal seating surfaces of

hoses, torch, and regulators are not damaged and clean free

of grease and oil.

2. Connect hoses (2 oxygen; 1 fuel gas) to the proper tting on the

torch and to the manual or solenoid shuto valves downstream

of the regulator. Tighten the connecting nuts rmly using two

wrenches to prevent twisting of tubes inside the torch.

3. Assemble desired nozzle (see Table) to the torch and tighten

nozzle retaining nut rmly with two 1-1/8 (29mm) open-end

wrenches.

ADJUSTING GAS PRESSURES

1. Open the cutting oxygen line manual or solenoid shuto valve.

Adjust cutting oxygen regulator to the desired pressure (see

Table) compensating for any line loss to the torch through the

hose and valve. Then immediately close the cutting oxygen

shuto valve.

2. Repeat above with the preheat oxygen, and then with the fuel

gas.

OPERATING DATA

GENERAL NOTE:

1. All gas pressures measured at the torch inlet connections with gasses owing.

2. The pressures and cutting speeds listed in the table are based on typical conditions for cutting mild steel at ambient temperatures.

They should only be used as a starting point. Hot steel (1400ºF/760ºC) cutting speeds will be approximately 30% - 50% faster. Cut

quality can vary depending on the temperature and metallurgical content of the steel, casting speed, cut-o machine, steel quality,

surface condition, oxygen purity, etc., in addition to the pressures and cutting speed.

3. The cutting orices of divergent bore nozzles should be carefully cleaned in order not to damage the cutting bore.

Cleaning Cutting Nozzle:

Preheat Holes: If the cutting nozzle does not produce straight,

uniform ames, or if any of the preheat holes become clogged,

clean them by using one of the serrated tip cleaners in the

PM-100/200/300 Cleaning Kit, Part No. 751F00. Maintaining clean

preheat holes is essential for quality performance of the torch.

Divergent Cutting Bore Nozzles: If the divergent cutting orice

becomes clogged or fouled, gently insert and twist the appropriate

tapered cleaning tool found in the cleaning kit. Larger size cutting

orices should be cleaned by inserting the sharpened, tapered

end of a common wooden pencil and gently rotating until the

fouling is removed. The use of twist drills for cleaning holes is not

recommended and may ruin the nozzle. Nozzles should be cleaned

periodically in a solution of OXWELD Nozzle Cleaning Compound

(P/N 761F00), made up and used as directed on the container in

which it is packed.

Non-Divergent Bore Nozzles: Clean the cutting bore by insert-

ing the sharpened, tapered end of a common wooden pencil and

gently rotating until the fouling is removed.

MAINTENANCE

For all repairs, send the torch to ESAB Welding & Cutting Products

Remanufacturing Center, 411 South Ebenezer Road, Florence, SC

29501.

Testing Seats: When the torches are water cooled, the internal

seating surfaces in the nozzle socket should last the life of the torch.

Air cooling or no cooling especially in hot cutting operations, will

shorten the life of the torch and the seating surfaces. Reseating

should be done only by the factory or a qualied repair person.

To test the seat, thinly coat the seating surfaces of a new nozzle

with nondrying Prussian blueing. Insert the nozzle into the nozzle

socket without the nozzle nut and rotate the nozzle by hand one

half turn. Remove the nozzle and observe the seating surfaces in

the socket. Blueing should be evenly distributed on both seating

surfaces. Depressions or the absence of uniform blueing indicates

the nozzle socket requires reseating.

PM nozzles cannot and should not be reseated.

OPTIONAL: RETAINING NUT (SHORT) - 2118094 (PM-100/200)
