Check the consumables. Clean nozzle with the brush.
Regulate the welding current depending on the type of cut,
the accessories fitted and the material and thickness to be
cut.
Press the torch switch and form the pilot arc. If the cutting
does not begin within 3 s. the arc will go out.
Start the cut from the edge of the part. To cut you can rest the
torch on the part but do not exert pressure. The cutting speed
depends on the part thickness. (See section 3.3)
If the part is less than 5 mm thick the cutting can start from
the interior of the part as shown in the figure.
During the cutting operation hold the torch as indicated in the
figure. The arc must be formed perpendicular to the part. If
the arc slopes or does not cut, the torch speed may be high.
Parts with gaps or holes can be cut with the machine without
having to re-start the arc (Cutting framework)
