STEP 4
When you see  the  corner of the
steel pieces  start  to liquefy,
press the  cutting  lever  fully
and move rapidly and smoothly to
the  left  keeping the torch tip
only 1/4" away.  If you move too
slowly,  the  cut  may fill back
in with  liquid  steel.  If  you
move  too fast or if you are too
shaky,  the  leading edge of the
cut will  cool  off and cease to
ignite more  steel.  This is how
cutting  works,  steel  combines
with oxygen creating enough heat
to melt more steel.
