Exposure to cutting exhaust

fumes can increase the risk of developing certain

cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung

cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked

to exposure to cutting exhaust fumes are:

• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease

• Heart disease • Ulcers

• Damage to the reproductive organs

• Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach

fumes produced to reduce the risk

EF;6GH IJ6KFGLIM NFLMG6MFMO6E6GPJ

Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe

fumes. Use enough ventilation or exhaust,

or both to keep fumes and gases away from your

breathing area. Where ventilation is questionable,

have a qualified technician take an air sampling

to determine the need for corrective measures.

If necessary, use mechanical ventilation to

2. Tighten the Regulator outlet connection.

3. Tighten the Torch Handle Inlet connection.

4. Repeat Gauge Leak Test.

a. If the gauges do not change, the test is

completed and the system has no leaks.

b. If the connections are still leaking, have the

Regulator, Torch Handle, and hoses examined by

a qualified technician. If the hoses are leaking,

replace them, do not attempt to repair the hoses.
