Drag cutting, even with lower current levels may signifi-

cantly reduce the life of torch consumables. Attempting

to Drag Cut with higher currents (above 40 amps) may

cause immediate catastrophic consumable damage.

Drag Cutting with the PT-32EH Torch

If drag cutting is desired, attach ESAB's standoff guide

(P/N 0558002393). For thin material, under 3/8" (9mm),

remove 50-70 amp or 90 amp nozzle from torch head,

insert ESAB's 40 amp nozzle (P/N 0558002908). Lower

current level to 40 amps or lower.
