Extinction of the flame at the burner hand piece
When the gas pressure is adjusted correctly, the burner flame
does not touch the nozzle, there is a distance of several tenths
of millimetres between nozzle and flame. The nozzle tip
remains cold and in perfect condition.
When extinguishing the burner flame ensure that the flame
does not touch the nozzle. This may burn out and damage the
nozzle.
Stop the flame e.g. with a compressed air pulse. The higher the
gas pressure of the flame, the easier this works.
Immerse the flame up to the burner tip short-time into a glass of
water.
After the flame is extinguished, in case of method A and B, shut
the burner hand piece valve!
Close the valve of the hand piece with a quick turn. The flame
does backfire however, will only minimally deteriorate the tip of
the nozzle.
