Consumable life

How often you need to change the consumables on your torch will depend on a number of factors:

The thickness of the metal being cut.

The average length of cut.

The air quality (presence of oil, moisture, or other contaminants).

Whether you are piercing the metal or starting cuts from the edge.

Proper torch-to-work distance when gouging or cutting with unshielded consumables.

Proper pierce height.

Whether you are cutting in “continuous pilot arc” mode or normal mode. Cutting with a continuous pilot arc causes
more consumable wear.

You will find more information about proper cutting techniques in

Operation on page 47.
