4. TIPS
a. The proper care of a tip will allow many feet
of burning before it wears out.
b. Tip cleaners should be used periodically to
insure that holes are not plugged and that
there are no burrs to deflect the gas.
c. The seat of the tip should be smooth to make
a tight seal. If the seat is damaged, it will have
a nick or nicks. This allows gas to escape and
produces a flame around the top of the tip.
d. Tips should never be thrown in a tool box.
They should be kept in their boxes or placed
in special holding racks.
