Default plasma cutter 101

I just got a new (to me) plasma cutter running. I'm having an awful
time with getting too far away (manual says hold 1/8" away) or
something and losing the arc and then a restart.

I know, practice, practice. Any suggestions?

So far, I'm not impressed. The torch is far easier. Plasma cutter does
work way better on AL though. I'll concentrate on AL and thin sheet
steel.
