according to the selected cutting mode and torch lead length for optimum cutting.
For cutting expanded metal, grates, metal containing holes, or any
job that requires a continuous pilot arc. Using this mode to cut
standard metal plate reduces consumable life.
For cutting or piercing metal. This is the standard setting for normal
drag-cutting.
For gouging metal. (Note: Using this mode while cutting results in
poor cut quality.)
