Plate Cutting Mode: Used for general cutting operations;

in the grid cutting mode, when the torch leaves the workpiece the pilot arc restarts instantly, and the
cutting arc restarts instantly when the pilot arc contacts the workpiece. (Use the 'grid cutting' mode when
cutting expanded metal or gratings, or trimming operations when an uninterrupted restart is desired).
