  - Troubleshooting for gas pressure problems
  - Keep a clean gas line
    It is extremely important to keep a clean, dry gas line to prevent oil, water, dirt, and other contaminants from causing damage to internal components. A clean gas line also helps you to get optimal cut quality and consumable life.
  - Do a gas test
    Use a gas test to see if sufficient gas pressure is exiting the torch. The gas test lets you see the plasma power supply’s actual gas pressure so that you can compare it to the inlet set pressure.
