  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.

  Garrett WardAug 26, 2025
  If the torch of your Lincoln Electric Cutter fires at the material but does not pierce fully through and no motion occurs, verify the plasma cutter work lead connection to the machine. Make sure the material is contacting the slat supports and nothing is electrically hindering that connection. Ensure the Pierce Height is at recommended values and not any higher both in the settings and visually at the machine.
