      • Nozzle should only be cleaned with tip cleaner
      • Never use nozzle to hold or push the work piece
      • Avoid knocking nozzle against hard surfaces
        Any 3 x 1= 3 marks

        • Neutral Flame has equal quantities of oxygen and acetylene
        • Carburising flame has more acetylene gas than oxygen
        • Oxiding flame has more oxygen than acetylene gas
