Safety

• Eye protection: Shade 9-12 (depending on intensity of arc)
• Wear protective clothing: leather gloves, leather apron, cotton clothing. (no polyester/synthetics!)
• Clear the area of all flammables
• Avoid "blowback", which happens from either moving too fast or cutting in the middle of a workpiece rather than the edge

Tips

• It is easier to pull the torch through the cut than to push it.
• To cut thin material, reduce the amerage until you get the best quality cut.
• Use the correct size tip orifice for the amperage being used.
• For straight cuts, use a straight edge or cutting buggy as a guide. For circles, use a template or circle cutting attachment.
• Check that the front end consumable parts of the plasma cutting torch are in good condition.
