Series SW/TW7000 Welding Hose Reels
IN-SERVICE CAUTION:
• The user is cautioned not to shut off the fuel gas at the
regulator or supply source first, as a flashback may result,
and thereby damage the hose.
• Users are cautioned specifically to shut off the gas at the
torch first, and then at the regulator or supply source, to
limit permeation of gas through the hose wall. This should
be done when the torch will not be used for periods in
excess of 30 minutes.
• After the flame has been extinguished and the gas turned off
at the supply source, it is recommended that any remaining
gas be bled to minimize degradation of the rubber during
long shutdowns.
• To prevent an accumulation or concentration of gas that
could be explosive or otherwise harmful to personnel, ade-
quate ventillation must be provided at all times, particularly
in confined areas where fuel gas is being used.
• Additional advice for minimizing the permeation problem has
been supplied by an NWSA member who states "The source
of gas (fuel gas and oxygen) should be closed before leav-
ing for the day or shift. After the cylinder or manifold valves
have been closed, the torch valves (both fuel gas and oxy-
gen) should be opened to remove all pressure from hoses.
