Use the single - piece shield cup for general purpose cutting operations with the torch tip in contact with the work (up to 40 amps). This is the preferred method of cutting sheet metal up to 3/16" or 4.8 mm thick. Also use the single - piece Shield Cup for 'standoff' cutting
(with the torch tip 1/8" to 1/4" from the workpiece). This is the preferred method for cutting metal thicker than 3/16" / 4.8 mm and at current levels above 40 amps. This provides maximum visibility and accessibility.
