! Installation must meet all National
and Local Codes − have only
qualified persons make this
installation.
! Special installation may be required
where gasoline or volatile liquids
are present − see NEC Article 511 or
CEC Section 20.
NOTICE − The Auto-Line circuitry in this
unit automatically adapts the power source
to the primary voltage being applied, either
120 or 240 VAC.
For 120 volts AC input power, a 15 or 20
ampere individual branch circuit protected
by time-delay fuses or circuit breaker is
required. For 240 volts AC input power, see
Section 5-4.

5-9. Generator Or Inverter Requirements
. Generator or inverter operation varies by manufacturer. The power light on the cutter will flash and the unit will not provide output if input voltage
drops below 92 volts AC (see Section 4-2).
Minimum auxiliary power
requirement at rated cutting
capacity [3/8 in. (9.5 mm) mild steel]
is 6 KW continuous/6.5 KW peak at
120 volts AC.
! Engine Control Switch must be set at “RUN”
position − not “RUN/IDLE”.
! Set generator Fine Adjustment Control
to 10 for maximum auxiliary power.
