The pilot arc starts immediately when
trigger is pressed.
Place torch tip on edge of metal.
Do not clean torch by hitting it against a
hard surface. Hitting hard surfaces can
damage torch parts and stop proper opera-
tion. Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for
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.
Postflow continues for approx. 20 to
30 seconds after releasing trigger;
cutting arc can be instantly
restarted during postflow by
