If you do not fully understand these instructions, contact your supplier for further information. The torches covered by these instructions are made to exact specifications. 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 efficient 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 standoff 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-off operations, such as hot and cold slab cut-off, 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 fittings (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 fitting, on the PM-300, use ¾-in. (19 mm) cutting oxygen hose with “D” - size fitting.) 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 filter 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. F14-208-K 05 / 2009

TESTING FOR LEAKSThe system should be thoroughly tested for leaks after it is first hooked up, and at regular intervals thereafter. With the system pressurized down to the shutoff 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 off 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 satisfied that all connections are gas tight.

After lighting the torch and adjusting the flames, use leak test solution to check for leakage around hose connections at each valve and torch fitting and at the nozzle nut.

LlGHTlNG AND FLAME ADJUSTMENTOpen 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 OFFClose 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 shutoff valves.3. When pressure on each regulator gauge drops down to zero,

back out regulator pressure-adjusting screw.4. Close torch shutoff valves.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Backfire: Improper operation of the torch may cause the flames to go out with a loud “pop”. Such a backfire 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 flame may not “pop” out (backfire) 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 off the torch. Allow it to cool off 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-off torch control.

4. Pipeline Filters – Regulation panel P/N 2116395 includes an oxygen filter. If a regulation panel is not used but filters 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. Teflon 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 ACCESSORIES1. Air/Water Cooling – The torches are equipped with two

air/water fittings (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 flows (see Table). Gauge adaptors connect to the inlet connections but should be removed when cutting over hot material.

Cutting Oxygen Test Gauge Adaptor PM-100 - P/N 01X17 PM-200 - P/N 21X48 PM-300 - P/N 2228175

Fuel Gas Test Gauge Adaptor PM-100, 200, & 300 - P/N 639422

CONNECTING1. 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 fitting on the torch and to the manual or solenoid shutoff valves downstream of the regulator. Tighten the connecting nuts firmly 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 firmly with two 1-1/8 (29mm) open-end wrenches.

ADJUSTING GAS PRESSURES1. Open the cutting oxygen line manual or solenoid shutoff 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 shutoff 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 flowing.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-off machine, steel quality, surface condition, oxygen purity, etc., in addition to the pressures and cutting speed.

3. The cutting orifices 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 flames, 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 orifice becomes clogged or fouled, gently insert and twist the appropriate tapered cleaning tool found in the cleaning kit. Larger size cutting orifices 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 qualified 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.
