HSG 139 from the HSE seems to cover the maintenance and safe use etc.

As an embittered ex fire fighter I think he may have thought you were referring to servicing in relation to the oxy acetylene/oxy propane cutting kit that was used/carried for rescue purposes by brigades before Jaws of Life, Cengar saws etc caught on.
