OPERATION
1. Plug the machine to the electrical outlet, first making sure the machine on/off
switch is in the off position.
2. Connect the air compressor supply line to the input side of the air regulator/filter (if
applicable).
3. Turn the on/off switch of your cutter to the ON position. The cooling fan(s) should
come on and the ON indicator LED (if applicable) should come on.
4. At this point you should already have your cables connected to your machine, if
they are not then turn off your machine and do this now and start over.
5. Connect the ground clamp to your work piece to be cut. Make sure there is no rust
or paint creating an open circuit. You should clean the contact point on the work
piece to ensure a good electrical connection.
6. Make sure your protective clothing and eye protection is on before going any
further. Work in a well ventilated area to avoid smoke.
7. Bring the torch tip into direct contact with your work piece edge or over a predrilled
pilot hole if cutting very thick material. See Cutting Guideline table below for more
details about cutting. Depress the button on your torch to start the arc and begin
cutting.
8. After performing the desired cut you may need to clean off slag from the under part
of the cut. Do this with a grinder or chisel.
