Cutting Charts
The cutting charts shown on the following pages are intended to give the operator
the best starting point to use when making a cut on a particular material type and
thickness. Small adjustments may have to be made to achieve the best cut. Also,
remember that the arc voltage must be increased as the electrode wears in order to
maintain the correct cutting height.
