Edge start on a workpiece
When cutting material thicker than 6 mm (1/4 inch), start the torch at the edge of the workpiece to prolong consumable
life.
1. With the ground clamp attached to the workpiece, hold the torch perpendicular (90°) to the workpiece and on the
edge.
2. Press the torch trigger to start the arc. You may need to pause at the edge until the arc has cut completely through
the workpiece.
3. Drag the torch lightly across the workpiece to proceed with the cut. Maintain a steady, even pace.
