Piercing
Hold the torch at an angle to the work piece,
pull the trigger to start the arc and slowly
rotate it to an upright position.
When sparks are exiting from the bottom of
the work piece, the arc has pierced through
the material.
When the pierce is complete, proceed with
cutting.

The Suregrip SC40 torch supplied with the Viper Cut 30 machine has a new design of safety trigger.
Just pull back on the trigger whilst increasing your grip and you will feel the trigger move to the on position.

: At the point the safety trigger is actuated, current
flow is sent through the torch. This is followed by
a pressurized gas flow which causes a piston
action to take place in the torch head. The tip and
electrode are separated causing a "strike" and the
pilot arc is initiated.

work piece the plasma cutting jet is ignited.

Your plasma torch is supplied with a tube of Silicon Grease, this
grease is used to lubricate the piston shaft of the torch head.
