CUTTING FROM THE EDGE OF THE PLATE
With the earth clamp connected to the plate, keep the torch
nozzle perpendicular (90-95°) to the edge of the plate.
Push the torch button to ignite the arc. Wait at the edge until
the arc has cut the plate completely.
Drag the torch over the plate to do the cut. Maintain a regu-
lar, linear pace.
CUTTING FROM WITHIN THE PLATE (PIERCING)
WARNING: Sparks and hot metal can cause injuries to the
eyes and the skin.
When the torch is ignited in an inclined position, the sparks and
hot metal are projected away from the nozzle. Do not point the
torch at yourself or other people nearby.

Cutting thin material
With the earth clamp connected to the plate, keep the torch at
about 30° to the plate, with the torch shield about 1,5 mm from
the plate, before pushing the torch button.
Push the torch button. Slowly rotate the torch to a perpendic-
ular position (90°).
Keep the torch in this position, while continuing to push the but-
ton. When the sparks come out from the underside the plate,
the arc has pierced the material.
On completion of piercing, drag the nozzle lightly over the plate
to make the cut.
