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 operation.
1. Install the drag cutting tip and set the
output 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
comfortable and allows good control and
movement.
3. K e e p t h e t o r c h i n c o n t a c t w i t h t h e
workpiece during the cutting cycle.
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.

6. Bring the torch within transfer distance to
the work. The main arc will transfer to the
work, and the pilot arc will shut OFF.
NOTE!
The gas preflow and postflow are a
characteristic of the power supply
and not a function of the torch.

7. Cut as usual. Simply release the trigger
assembly to stop cutting.
8. 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 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.
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
allows good control and movement.
NOTE!
The tip should never come in contact
with the workpiece 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.
