7. Pull the torch trigger to start the arc. Keep the torch in position until the arc transfers to the
vertical workpiece and cuts completely through. The arc has cut completely through when
sparks go out the other side of the vertical workpiece.
8. Drag the flat side of the tip of the cartridge along the flat workpiece. Keep a standoff of
3 mm – 6 mm (1/8 inch to 1/4 inch) from the vertical workpiece. Keep a smooth, stable pace.
9. If it is necessary to adjust the flat side of the tip of the cartridge to complete the cut, lock the
torch before you touch the cartridge.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS AND ELECTRIC SHOCK – USE INSULATED GLOVES
Always put on insulated gloves when changing the cartridges. The cartridges
get very hot during cutting and can cause severe burns.
Touching the cartridges can also cause electric shock if the plasma power
supply is ON and the torch-lock switch is not in the yellow lock (X) position.
