approximately 5 seconds after power
switch is placed in the Off position.
5 Pressure Gauge
6 Pressure Adjustment Knob
.
At ambient temperatures below −55 C
(235 F), readjustment of gas/air
pressure regulator may be necessary
(see Section 4-12).
Use only clean, dry air with 90 to 150 psi

5-2. Cutting Speed
The cutting speed curve shows the
recommended maximum cutting
speed capabilities of the power
source and torch for mild steel of
various thickness.
The best cut quality is achieved by
cutting near the chart line. Cutting
below the line (too slow) will result
in excess dross. Cutting above the
line (too fast) will cause blowback
and lack of penetration.
