Using a Triple Flint Striker can be quite confusing for people who are just learning welding for the first time or never used a flint striker before. So here's some handy tips!
Question 1: What is the best technique to create the best sparks from the flint striker?
Answer:
For best results, use your index finger to apply slight downward pressure on the metal groove to push the flint into cylindrical file. It is a two axis force not a flat push. Of course too much downward pressure will jam the flint. Too much pressure will also slow down the movement for a spark to occur.
Follow the image below for step to step instructions.
Question 2: What are some safety recommendations for using with the Triple Flint Lighter?
Answer:
When using the Triple Flint Striker, please wear proper eye protection such as a welding helmet or safety goggles. Please keep loose articles of clothing away when sparking the flint lighter. To avoid excessive sparks flying, squeeze the flint lighter with less force.
