For cutting a circle, attach cutting torch nozzle to the pivot block (Fig 3) and follow the same method used to cut
straight line and bevel. It is important to pierce a small hole inside the circumference of the circle to be cut and
then move the torch to the nearest point on the circumference. Then use the pivot block to move the flame along
the circumference of the circle.
To cut a profile the same sequence used for circle cutting is followed except that a template similar to the profile to
be cut is mounted on the table and a tracer attached to the cutting head will follow the template profile. The torch
flame will cut the profile on the job
