5 – Hand Cutting
Operate the safety trigger
The hand torches are equipped with a safety trigger to prevent accidental firings. When you are ready to use the torch,
flip the trigger’s safety cover forward (toward the torch head) and press the red torch trigger.
Hand torch cutting guidelines
 Drag the torch tip lightly along the workpiece to maintain a steady cut.
 While cutting, make sure that sparks exit from the bottom of the workpiece. The sparks should lag slightly behind the
torch as you cut (15 – 30° angle from vertical).
 If sparks spray up from the workpiece, move the torch more slowly, or set the output current higher.
 With either hand torch, hold the torch nozzle perpendicular to the workpiece so that the nozzle is at a 90° angle to the
cutting surface. Observe the cutting arc as the torch cuts.
