STEP 4
When you see the corner of the
steel pieces start to liquefy,
press the cutting lever fully
and move rapidly and smoothly to
the left keeping the torch tip
only 1/4" away. If you move too
slowly, the cut may fill back
in with liquid steel. If you
move too fast or if you are too
shaky, the leading edge of the
cut will cool off and cease to
ignite more steel. This is how
cutting works, steel combines
with oxygen creating enough heat
to melt more steel.
