The pilot arc starts immediately when
trigger is pressed.
Place drag shield on edge of metal,
or allow correct standoff distance −
approximately 1/8 in (3 mm).
Do not clean torch by hitting it against a
hard surface. Hitting hard surfaces can
damage torch parts and stop proper opera-
tion.

wear before cutting or whenever cutting
speed has been significantly reduced (see
torch Owner’s Manual). Do not operate
torch without a tip or electrode in place.
