| 1. Clean, dry, oil-free air is important. |
| 2. Stay at recommended air pressure (more air is not necessarily better!) |
| 3. Touch torch tip gently to work piece. |
| 4. When initiating a cut, start on the end of material to be cut and ensure arc has completely penetrated metal before proceeding further. |
| 5. When completing cut, pause at the end to assure severance. |
| 6. Torch should be perpendicular to work piece. |
| 7. Work cable should be attached as close to work piece cut as possible. |
| 8. If you can see the arc coming through the bottom of the cut metal, it will eliminate guessing if your travel speed is correct. |
