Safer field move

Run any new plasma program in dry-run mode first — tool paths visible but no arc. Verify all cut paths, lead-ins, and lead-outs visually before firing. One dry run prevents ruining a full sheet of material.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Using a plasma table program that hasn't been proofed, wasting a full sheet. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
