4.07 Hand Torch Operation
A. Standoff Cutting With Hand Torch
NOTE
For best performance and parts life, always
use the correct parts for the type of operation.
1. The torch can be comfortably held in one hand
or steadied with two hands. Position the hand to
press the Trigger on the torch handle. With the
hand torch, the hand may be positioned close to
the torch head for maximum control or near the
back end for maximum heat protection. Choose
the holding technique that feels most comfortable
and allows good control and movement.
NOTE
The tip should never come in contact with the
workpiece except during drag cutting opera
-
tions.
2. Depending on the cutting operation, do one of the
following:
a. For edge starts, hold the torch perpendicular
to the workpiece with the front of the tip on the
edge of the workpiece at the point where the
cut is to start.
b. For standoff cutting, hold the torch 1/8 - 3/8 in
(3-9 mm) from the workpiece as shown below.
