Gouge a workpiece
1. Hold the torch so that the nozzle is within 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) from the workpiece before firing
the torch.
2. Hold the torch at a 45° angle to the
workpiece with a small gap between
the torch tip and the workpiece.
Press the trigger to obtain a pilot arc.
Transfer the arc to the work piece.
3. Maintain an approximate 45° angle
to the workpiece as you feed into the
gouge.
In other words, push the plasma
arc in the direction of the gouge
you want to create. Keep a small
distance between the torch tip and
the molten metal to avoid reducing
consumable life or damaging the
torch.
Changing the torch’s angle changes
the dimensions of the gouge.
WARNING
SPARKS 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.
