LoTherme-801 is designed to produce fairly smooth cuts and pierce metals in all positions. The special coating withstands high current without overheating. A forceful arc renders it possible to cut all metals and alloys without the necessity of supplementary gas, compressed air or oxygen or special torches.

Mark the area to be cut or pierced with chalk. Hold the electrode at an angle of 45° to the job and use a sawing motion to cut. Manoeuvre LoTherme-801 continuously in sawing motion, pressing it against the surface of the metal. The high arc-force produced by the electrode and the manual pressure ensures and rapid cutting.

For piercing, position the electrode perpendicular to the part. Strike the arc and apply push in and pull out motion till the part is pierced.
