Troubleshooting tips for gouging
When gouging, always make sure:
 Gouging consumables are installed, and the output current matches those consumables.
 The power supply is set to Gouge/Marking mode.
Many common metal removal issues can be resolved by installing new consumables in the torch. Do
not use worn or damaged consumables. See page 154.
