Using Drag Shield Cup With Straight Edge
The crown shield cup functions best when
cutting 3/16 inch (4.7 mm) solid metal with
relatively smooth surface.
Drag Cutting With a Hand Torch
Drag cutting works best on metal 1/4" (6 mm)
thick or less.
NOTE
For best parts performance and life, always
use the correct parts for the type of opera-
tion.
1. Install the drag cutting tip and set the out-
put current.
2. 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 comfort-
able and allows good control and move-
ment.
4. Keep the torch in contact with the work-
piece during the cutting cycle.
5. Hold the torch away from your body.
6. Slide the trigger release toward the back
of the torch handle while simultaneously
squeezing the trigger. The pilot arc will
start.

tion of the torch.
