MAX200 Instruction Manual 4-15
OPERATION
Piercing
1. Start by holding the torch so that the nozzle is approximately 1/16 inch away from the workpiece before
squeezing the trigger switch. This method maximizes the life of the nozzle. (See Fig. 4-10)
2. Hold the torch at an angle to the workpiece away from yourself, then slowly roll it to a vertical position. (This is
particularly important when cutting thicker material.) Make sure that the torch is pointed away from you and the
people around you to avoid any danger from sparks and hot metal.
3. Start the cut at an angle rather than in an upright position. This permits the hot metal to escape to one side
rather than splashing back against the nozzle, protecting the operator from the sparks and extending the torch
nozzle life.
4. When the pierce is complete, proceed with the cut.
1. Tilt the torch and squeeze
the trigger switch.
2. Rotate the torch to
an upright position.
