Gouging
The MAX200 gouges mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum when using the PAC200E gouging torch with
gouging consumables. Use the following guidelines to assist you with the gouging process:
1. When gouging, it is absolutely necessary to wear full protection – a welding helmet with at least a #12 glass,
welding gloves and a welding jacket. The arc is fully exposed and will cause serious burns if skin is not covered.
Hypertherm provides a heat shield (#020881) for further protection.
2. Install the gouging nozzle just as you would install a standard cutting nozzle. Refer to Changing Consumable
Parts, page 4-6.
3. Adjust the plasma pressure and the shield pressure according to the Cut Charts later in this section. Note that
the gouging pressures are lower than the cutting pressures.
