To avoid this problem, the following welding safety procedures should always be followed:
1. Crack the oxygen cylinder valve before you attach the regulator. To do this, stand to one side or to the rear of the cylinder outlet. Open the cylinder valve slight for an instant and then close it. This should clean accumulated dust and dirt from the valve.
2. Use only oxygen regulators to control oxygen supply. Switching regulators from non-oxygen use to oxygen use can introduce contaminants into the system. Be sure the valve is clean and free of grease and oil. Never use an oxygen regulator for other gases.
3. Before opening the cylinder valve, be sure the oxygen regulator pressure-adjusting screw is released. To do this, rotate the screw counter clockwise until it turns freely.
4. Stand to one wide whole opening the oxygen cylinder valve. Open the valve as slowly as possible until the high pressure gauge reaches cylinder pressure. Never open the cylinder valve suddenly, as sudden surges of high pressure can cause a blow out.
