6. Cut as usual. Simply release the trigger assem -
bly to stop cutting.
7. Follow normal recommended cutting practices as
provided in the power supply operator's manual.
NOTE!
When the shield cup is properly in-
stalled, there is a slight gap between the
shield cup and the torch handle. Gas
vents through this gap as part of normal
operation. Do not attempt to force the
shield cup to close this gap. Forcing
the shield cup against the torch head or
torch handle can damage components.
8. For a consistent standoff height from the work-
piece, install the standoff guide by sliding it
onto the torch shield cup. Install the guide with
the legs at the sides of the shield cup body to
maintain good visibility of the cutting arc. During
operation, position the legs of the standoff guide
against the workpiece.

Cutting Guide
Using Drag Shield Cup With Straight Edge
The crown shield cup functions best when cutting
3/16 inch (4.7 mm) solid metal with relatively smooth
surface.
Drag Cutting With a Hand Torch
Drag cutting works best on metal 1/4" (6 mm) thick
or less.
NOTE!
For best parts performance and life,
always use the correct parts for the type
of operation.
1. Install the drag cutting tip and set the output cur-
rent.
2. The torch can be comfortably held in one hand
or steadied with two hands. Position the hand to
press the Trigger on the torch handle. With the
hand torch, the hand may be positioned close to
the torch head for maximum control or near the
back end for maximum heat protection. Choose
the holding technique that feels most comfortable
and allows good control and movement.
4. Keep the torch in contact with the workpiece
during the cutting cycle.
