    The electrode, and cover are ok?
    The connector for high voltage (pilot arc) is clean?

    Pilot arc looks fine, but stops very quick. Check air pressure and filters. There may be aproblem with hv set.

    It would be good you rechecked the electrical conections between table and machine and then checked the Open Circuito Voltage for sure.
    Also check the parameters for pierce high.
