• Verify that the power cord is plugged into the receptacle.
• Verify that the power is ON at the main power panel or at the line-
disconnect switch box.
• Verify that the line voltage is not too low (more than 15% below the
rated voltage).
• Verify that the circuit break has not been tripped.
The arc does not transfer to the
workpiece.
• Clean the area where the work clamp contacts the workpiece to ensure

• The pierce-height distance may be too large. Move the torch closer to
the workpiece and fire the torch again.
