-

A two stage regulator and twenty-five feet of hose with 3/8" fittings is provided to connect the
gas bottle to the laser. If the installation requires a longer length, use Teflon/polyethylene hose
only.
IMPORTANT - The installation of your machine can not be completed without the correct laser
gas. Be sure to obtain at least two bottles prior to scheduling installation. The typical gas bot-
tle will hold 220 ft
3
of usable gas. For the 2000W laser, a single bottle of gas should last one
to two months on a single shift basis. However, during installation, more gas is used than in
normal operation.
