GOUGE A WORK PIECE
Note: There are no gouging consumables included in the box. For plasma air gouging
you will need to buy the gouging consumables set separately.
1.
Hold the torch at a 45°to the work piece with a small gap 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) between the torch
tip and the work piece. Press the trigger to obtain a pilot arc. Transfer the arc to the work piece.
2.
Keep an approximate 45° angle to the work piece as you feed into the gouge. 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.
