8. Cut as usual. Simply release the trigger assem-
bly to stop cutting.
9. Follow normal recommended cutting practices as
provided in the power supply operator's manual.
NOTE
When the shield cup is properly installed, there is
a slight gap between the shield cup and the torch
handle. Gas vents through this gap as part of nor-
mal operation. Do not attempt to force the shield
cup to close this gap. Forcing the shield cup against
the torch head or torch handle can damage compo-
nents.
D. Piercing With Hand Torch
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 technique that feels most comfortable and al-
lows good control and movement.
NOTE
The tip should never come in contact with the work-
piece except during drag cutting operations.
2. Angle the torch slightly to direct blowback particles
away from the torch tip (and operator) rather than
directly back into it until the pierce is complete.
3. In a portion of the unwanted metal start the pierce
off the cutting line and then continue the cut onto
the line. Hold the torch perpendicular to the work-
piece after the pierce is complete.
4. Hold the torch away from your body.
5. Slide the trigger release toward the back of the
torch handle while simultaneously squeezing the
trigger. The pilot arc will start.

NOTES
The gas preflow and postflow are a characteristic
of the power supply and not a function of the torch.
When the shield cup is properly installed, there is a slight
gap between the shield cup and the torch handle. Gas
vents through this gap as part of normal operation. Do
not attempt to force the shield cup to close this gap.
Forcing the shield cup against the torch head or torch
handle can damage components.
7. Clean spatter and scale from the shield cup and
the tip as soon as possible. Spraying the shield
cup in anti - spatter compound will minimize the
amount of scale which adheres to it.
