FOOF: Fuel - Oxygen - Oxygen - Fuel. This is the safety procedure for starting and finishing:

ON: Turn the Fuel knob on first, a small amount. Then turn on Oxygen, a smaller amount. Light the fuel. Add fuel and oxygen to get a very acute-angle blue flame, and hardly any yellow flame. The longer the tip, the hotter the point.

OFF: Turn down the Oxygen to create a yellow fuel-only flame. Turn off the Fuel. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Safety: If the lit fuel suddenly cuts out, you'll hear a pop, where only oxygen is emitted from the gas-axe. Cut the gases immediately: O-F. If your regulators are poor, and the flame reverses up, you may blow yourself up. Remember, never turn the fuel off before the oxygen! ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Pre-brazing: Clean the areas to be joined until the original metal shines, using files and wire brush. Lightly apply flux to reduce oxidation, and let dry. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}
