edge start a possibility on thicker materials

Hello, I'm new here, I have a plasma cutter 1.5m x 3   meters, retrofit- qt plasmac ,Hypertherm 1650
I would like to ask what the procedure is for setting the edge start for thicker materials when cutting with plasma
excuse the english I'm using a translator

Edge start does not need any special features. 
You can also do a  pierce only cycle that lets you pierce with old consumables, clean the dross and cut the sheet.

There is a new moving pierce feature that you may find helpful.

thank you for the quick reply
I would like to ask if there is a possibility to ignite the arc on the edge of the sheet metal?
and the machine would continue to work

I'll try it and let you know how it works
qt plasmac is an excellent software, I've been using it for the second year and I'm still familiar with new functions, I use a camera - scanything, I also have a remote control, that's also great
   I would like to contribute to the operation with some small financial amount, I just don't know where? or to whom?

F9 doesn't work
the only way I was able to do it is to press start immediately, then pause and use the arrows to jog to the edge of the plate and start again
