Altering Gas Types
Although the gas types should not normally be changed, the procedure is
given here anyway. Note that the preflow gas cannot be changed. To
alter the gas types used for a particular cut, use the arrows to scroll to the
appropriate gas or press the Menu key then the Plasma Gas or Shielding
Gas key. The appropriate gas selection should be highlighted as shown
and the present gas choice should be blinking. Press F3 to scroll through
the gas choices. When the desired gas type is blinking, press ENT to
accept the gas type. The plasma gas can be changed to air, oxygen, or
H17 and the shield gas can be changed to air, oxygen, or nitrogen.
