Consumable life
Many factors influence how often you need to change the consumables on your machine torch:
 Poor gas supply quality
 It is extremely important to maintain a clean, dry gas line. The presence of oil, water,
vapors, and other contaminants in the gas supply can degrade cut quality and
consumable life. See page 35 and page 39.
 Cutting and gouging technique
 Whenever possible, start cuts from the edge of the workpiece. This helps to extend the
life of the shield and the nozzle.
 Maintain a proper pierce height. Refer to the cut charts starting on page 121.
 Maintain a proper torch-to-work distance (standoff) when gouging. See page 80.
 Shielded versus non-shielded consumables
 Non-shielded consumables use a deflector instead of a shield. Non-shielded
consumables generally have a shorter life than shielded consumables.
 Thickness of metal being cut
 In general, the thicker the metal being cut, the more quickly the consumables become
worn. For best results, do not exceed the thickness specifications for this system. See
page 22.
