While cutting you can measure the head-to-work distance using the arc voltage. However, to start cutting you need to have the head at the correct height then strike the arc. The idea is to use the head as a probe, lower to find the work, raise to the correct height, strike the arc then continue to cut while adjusting height based on arc voltage. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
