To pierce a workpiece
1. With the work clamp attached to the workpiece, hold the torch at an angle to the workpiece
with the nozzle within 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) of it before firing the torch.
2. Fire the torch while still at an angle to
the workpiece, then slowly rotate the
torch to a perpendicular (90°)
position.
3. Hold the torch in place. When sparks
exit from the bottom of the workpiece,
the arc has pierced the material.
4. When the pierce is complete,
drag the nozzle lightly along the
workpiece to proceed with the cut.
WARNING
KSPARKS AND HOT METAL CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN.
When firing the torch at an angle, sparks and hot metal will spray
out from the nozzle. Point the torch away from yourself and others.
