D. Main Arc Test
Press the Torch Switch to establish a pilot arc.
Bring the torch to within 1/8"-3/8" (3.2 - 9.5 mm) of the
workpiece to establish the main cutting arc, and note the
following:
• Main cutting arc initiates
• Pilot arc turns OFF
This completes the Main Arc Test. If the above are all
correct then the equipment should be operating properly.
If problems still persist then contact Technical Services.
If the above does not function as noted then note the
symptom and proceed to Section 4.08, Main Arc Prob-
