Cutting Operation
Whenthetorchleavestheworkpieceduringcutting
operations with the Function Control Knob in the
RUN position, there is a brief delay in restarting
the pilot arc. With the knob in the RAPID AUTO
RESTART position,whenthetorchleavesthework-
piecethepilotarcrestartsinstantly,andthecutting
arc restarts instantly when the pilot arc contacts the
workpiece. (Use the 'Rapid Auto Restart' position
whencuttingexpandedmetalorgratings,oringoug-
ing or trimming operations when an uninterrupted
restart is desired). And with the knob in the LATCH
position the main cutting arc will be maintained after
the torch switch is released.
Typical Cutting Speeds
Cuttingspeedsvaryaccordingtotorchoutputam-
perage,thetypeofmaterialbeingcut,andoperator
skill. Refer to Section 4T.08 and following for greater
details.
Output current setting or cutting speeds may be
reduced to allow slower cutting when following a
line,orusingatemplateorcuttingguidewhilestill
producing cuts of excellent quality.
