Page 12: Operating Techniques
ADVANCECUT80 Note: Note: Keep moving while cutting. Cut at a steady speed The speeds given here are typical for best quality without pausing. Maintain the cutting speed so cuts. Your actual speeds may vary depending on that the arc lag is 10° to 20° behind the travel material composition, surface condition, operator direction.
Page 13 ADVANCECUT80 6. Quality Cuts - Dross (slag) is the excess material that spatters and builds up on the underside of the work-piece as you cut. Dross occurs when the operating procedure and technique is less than optimal. It will require practice and experience to obtain cuts without dross.
