OPERATION
5. Put the torch in one hand and striker in the other. Depress the oxygen lever and touch the
cutting rod to the striker.
6. Once the rod is ignited, remove the striker, then move the burning rod to the workpiece and
begin cutting.
NOTE!
Hold the cutting rod at a 45° to 80° drag angle from the workpiece surface. The angle
depends on the thickness and type of material being cut.
7. Make slight contact between the burning rod tip and the workpiece as the cut progresses.
This placement requires two motions:
a. Inward towards the workpiece as the rod is consumed
b. In the direction of the cut
Use a protective lens shade #5 since there is no electrical arc.
6.02 Cutting with Power
Cutting with power requires an electrical arc from a welding power supply and increases the heat
created exothermically. Almost all constant-current welding power supplies can be used in powered
exothermic cutting. Cutting with power is faster than cutting without power.
