c. Notice While Cutting
i. Unnecessary igniting of the pilot arc in the air will reduce the life-span of the
torch’s electrode and nozzle.
ii. It is best to start cutting at the edge of the work piece, unless you are piercing
the work piece.
iii. Keep a space between the nozzle and the work piece. Pressing the nozzle
on the work piece could cause the nozzle to stick, reducing the smoothness
of the cutting action, creating an undesirable result.
iv. Keep the torch’s nozzle vertical against the work piece, and watch to be sure
the arc is moving along the cutting line.
v. For thin materials, reduce the amperage setting to get the best cutting quality,
reduce excessive warping, and to extend the life of the electrode and nozzle.
vi. Do not rapidly switch the torch trigger ON and OFF; this will damage the pilot
arc system and work piece.
vii. The plasma cutter’s working air pressure range is 50-90 PSI. Notice: the
internal pressure switch will shut off when the air pressure falls below 50 PSI.
The switch only works when the pressure rises to 50 PSI or above.
viii. Every 4-8 hours, check the air filter on your air supply and remove excess
moisture. Too much moisture in the cutter or torch may lead to operational
trouble.
⚠WARNING
Always unplug the power supply before checking for and removing moisture.
