SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Incorrect use of the pressure reducer can cause serious damage.

• Users must be trained technicians or else, under full supervision.

• ALWAYS check to ensure the reducer is the correct model for the

type of gas being used.

• The pressure reducer must be treated as a precision instrument.

• Protect it from accidental knocks, dust, oil and other sources of dirt.

• DO NOT use the pressure reducer if it is not in perfect working order.

• When you draw gas, the cylinder must be placed upright and

protected from falling.

• Ensure the inlet connection gasket (2) is always in place and in good

condition (CO2 ONLY).

FUNCTION

The function of the pressure regulator is to reduce and stabilise the pressure of

a gas; the reducer changes the pressure at which the gas is kept in the

cylinder into the pressure needed for use.

The pressure reducer has been designed to be used exclusively with the type

of gas, and at the pressure, which is shown by the markings (see ‘Markings’ -

page 6) and the metal I.D. tag.

IMPORTANT: To use the pressure reducer with types of gasses and pressures

other than Argon/CO2 could be dangerous.

CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
