Why does my Lincoln Electric Cutter torch retract fully after Ohmic Sense?
- T
  Todd GarciaSep 4, 2025
  If the torch of your Lincoln Electric Cutter retracts fully to the top after sensing the material in an ohmic sense, and the Run Job button becomes available, clear the surface of the material of any corrosion that would hinder the ohmic sensing process. Verify the torch lead is not getting pulled tight on the way down to the surface of the material. Check for the torch pushing against the material deflecting it before stopping and retracting.

Why is my Lincoln Electric Torchmate 4800 torch colliding with the material?
- R
  Ronald TorresAug 31, 2025
  If the torch of your Lincoln Electric Cutter collides with the material after 1” of cut because it's cutting too high, verify the Pierce and Cut height are at recommended book values. Make sure the height control mode is set to Auto and not Manual and that the Sample Voltage function is turned ON. Check for part tip-ups near the piercing points that may interfere with the torch sensing the materials height.

  If the torch shield of your Lincoln Electric Cutter contacts the material during the initial cut movement, stopping the machine, check that the Cut height is set at the correct value. Ensure the AVHC Auto/Manual mode is set to Auto and that the Sample Voltage mode is set to ON. Also, check if the machine crossed into another previous cut or collided with another previous cut.
