Operating Tips
Starting a Cut from the Edge of the Workpiece
1. Hold the torch nozzle vertical at the edge of
the workpiece.
2. Start cutting from the edge of the workpiece.
Pause at the edge until the arc has
completely cut through the workpiece.
The pilot arc will extinguish in approximately
5 seconds it there is no transfer to the
workpiece.
3. Proceed with the cut.
The nozzle or shield may be dragged in
direct contact with the workpiece or held
at a slight standoff (1/16" or 1-2 mm) for
increased capacity on thicker metals.
