Step 4: Is the torch perpendicular to the workpiece?
 Level the workpiece.
 Make the torch perpendicular to the workpiece, both from the front and side of the torch.

Step 5: Is the cut height set at the proper height?
 Adjust the cut height to the correct setting.
 If you are using arc voltage control, adjust the voltage.

As consumable parts wear, arc voltage settings need continual adjustment to maintain cut height.
 Cut height can impact angularity.
 Negative cut angle: torch too low; increase cut height.
