OPERATION
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.
8. For a consistent standoff height from the
workpiece, install the standoff guide by
sliding it onto the torch shield cup. Install
the guide with the legs at the sides of the
shield cup body to maintain good visibility
of the cutting arc. During operation,
position the legs of the standoff guide
against the workpiece.
