START CUTTING INSIDE THE METAL SHEET:
With the earth clamp attached to the metal piece, maintain the torch at an angle of
1
roughly 30° to the piece.
Press the torch trigger to start the arc while maintaining an angle of 30° to the
2
part. Slowly rotate the torch towards a perpendicular position (90°).
Immobilise the torch while keeping the trigger pressed. If the sparks come from
3
below the metal piece, the arc has cut the material.

Once the cutting has started, drag the pad slightly on the metal sheet to continue cutting. Try to maintain a regular rhythm.
DE-GOUGING:
With the earth clamp fastened to the part, keep for torch at a 45° angle to the
1
piece, while maintaining the special gouging shield roughly 2mm away from the
part before starting the torch.
Press the torch trigger before starting the arc while maintaining it at an angle of
2
45° to the piece while cutting through the groove
Push the plasma arc in the direction you wish to cut. The distance between the
3
torch shield and the melted metal should be as little as possible in order to avoid
premature wear of the consumables or damage to the torch.
