5-4. Sequence Of Operation EXAMPLE Of Cutting Operation The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. For shielded cutting, place drag shield on edge of metal. For non-shielded cutting (non-CE only), use 1/8 in (3.2 mm) standoff distance (dragging tip will reduce tip life). Adjust torch speed so sparks go thru metal and out bottom of cut.
