The way to do it is to go the the nearest M5 before the flame out position. You place a piece of thin scrap material over the section that is already cut. Start the cut and the piece of scrap will allow you to cut without the torch stopping due to no metal beneath. The reason for starting from the M5 is that if you have THC on the machine (you should have) then whatever probing routines that is used by the THC are also executed. So things happen as they should or are expected to happen.
