SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
7� Do not squeeze Trigger until Torch
is in position to start cutting.
Starting at the edge of the workpiece, squeeze
and hold the Trigger to strike the pilot arc�
When the arc ignites, start slowly moving
the Torch along your cut line�
8� Slowly move the Torch along the cutting
line with the Cutting Tip trailing�
Note: Keep the Torch Cutting Tip pointed
straight (90º) into the workpiece 1/16" from the
surface� Consistent workpiece distance and
cutting speed are critical� Sparks should pass
through the workpiece at a slight angle.
SLOW DOWN
if sparks do not pass
through workpiece
9� If sparks start shooting up from the workpiece
instead of passing through, the Torch is being
moved too quickly so the cut is not being
made completely� Move the Torch along the
workpiece more slowly to cut completely�
SPEED UP
if sparks pass straight
down through bottom
of workpiece
10� If sparks pass straight down through bottom of
workpiece instead of at a slight angle, the Torch
is being moved too slowly� This could cause the
arc to extinguish� Move the Torch a little faster�
Note: If the Plasma Cutter suddenly shuts off, check:
a� Torch distance from workpiece,
b� poor workpiece grounding,
c� dirty/painted workpiece,
d� Circuit Breaker & Power Switch tripping, or
e� Thermal Overload tripping.
(See number 5 on page 8.)
11� Pause briefly at end of cut�
12� Release the Trigger� The air will continue to come
out of the Torch for a few seconds once the Trigger
is released to cool off the Torch components�
13� When finished cutting:
a� Lift the Torch from the workpiece and set
down on a cool part of the metal work table,
b� Wait 10 minutes for the Plasma Cutter
to cool down with the Power Switch ON
so the fan continues to operate,
c� Press the Power Switch to the OFF position,
d� Turn the air supply off and disconnect air lines,
e� Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet�
