Start a cut from the edge of the workpiece

The photographs in this section show a regular Duramax hand torch; however, the cutting,
piercing, and gouging techniques shown are the same for the Duramax Hyamp long
handheld torches.
1. With the ground clamp attached to the workpiece, hold the torch nozzle perpendicular (90°) to the edge of the
workpiece.
2. Press the torch’s trigger to start the arc. Pause at the edge until the arc has cut completely through the workpiece.
3. Drag the torch tip lightly across the workpiece to proceed with the cut. Maintain a steady, even pace.
