That will do it. Something else that can help ... or at least it helps me when I'm plasma cutting (don't have an issue when welding) is to put more light on the work piece ... I have a halogen light I use and it really helps. I think at some point I'm going to set up a plasma table outside in the sun light and see how that works ... will be breathing in less stuff that way.
