What safety precautions must be taken when cutting pipe with a torch?

1. Tip must be clean and proper size.
2. Acetylene and oxygen levels must be set with flame lit (working pressures)
3. Metal needs to be as clean as possible.
4. Neutral flame is a must: carburizing/oxidizing won’t produce a good cut.
5. A good cut should not require grinding.
