Cutting Operation
1. Connect the air supply hose to the manometer located on the back panel, and set the
air pressure to 60 PSI. The air supply should have an in-line moisture filter.
2. Check the Plasma Torch. Replace or clean the nozzle and electrode if worn or dirty.
3. Clamp the Plasma Cutter Ground Cable Clamp to the bare metal workpiece.
4. With the On/Off switch set to “O”, plug the power cord into the 220 VAC (35 amp
capacity) electrical outlet.
5. Place your protective clothing, gloves, and welding helmet.
6. While holding the Torch handle away from the workpiece, set the On/Off switch to 20A
or 35A depending on the hardness of the metal being cut.
It is recommended to do a test cut on a piece of scrap metal of the same type as the
work piece to determine the correct amperage and air pressure for a clean cut.
A B
In some cutting operations, it may be necessary to start the cut from a point away from
the edge. See illustration “B” above. The backfire from this operation could shorten the
life of the torch components, so it is recommended to do this cut as fast as possible.
Slightly incline the Torch so that the backfire particles are blown away by the nozzle
(and by the operator), instead of bouncing back into the Torch. Clean away slag and
incrustations from the Torch Head. Spraying or immersing the Torch Head in an anti-
slag substance, minimizes the quantity of incrustation that would stick to it.
9. When the cutting process is complete, release the Start button on the Torch handle,
place the Torch handle in a safe place, and wait 5 minutes before turning the On/Off
switch to “O” to allow proper cooling. The pilot arc is automatic, not manually
controlled. Handle the torch components with care and protect them from damage.
10. Unplug the line cord from the electrical outlet.
