Selects torch tip, gas pressures, speed of cut, and allows for width of cut, according to thickness and type of metal as computed from charts. Installs torch tip and turns handle to start and adjust pressure of fuel gas. Lights torch and adjusts flow of oxygen to obtain desired mixture, as indicated by color and size of flame. Directs flame on workpiece to heat it to oxidizing temperature, as indicated by color of metal. Squeezes lever or trigger to release additional jet of oxygen which burns path through metal. Guides flame along cutting line, observing cutting to judge angle, distance of torch, and speed of movement. Removes and inspects finished workpiece. Chips or grinds burrs from edges, using power chisel or portable grinder. May lay out cutting lines, using rule, square, compass, or by tracing from template.
