- A
  Andrea PollardSep 23, 2025
  If the torch cutting is diminished on your ESAB Welding System, consider these potential causes: * The current setting may be incorrect. Check and adjust to the proper setting. * The torch consumables may be worn. Check and replace as needed. * There may be a poor work cable connection to the work piece. Check the connection of the Work Lead to the work piece. * The torch might be moving too fast. Reduce the cutting speed. * There might be excessive oil or water in the torch. Refer to "Check air quality" in section 3 Torch. * There may be failed components in the unit. Return to an authorized service center for repair.

Why are the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators flashing on my ESAB Cutmaster 120?

  If the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators are flashing on your ESAB Cutter, it could be due to several reasons: * The start signal is active when the ON/OFF SWITCH is turned to the ON position. Start can be active if the hand torch switch or hand pendant switch is held closed, or if the CNC START signal is active low (release the START signal source). * There's a problem in the torch and leads switch circuit (replace the torch and leads). If the issue persists, it may indicate failed components in the unit.

  If the TEMPERATURE indicator is ON and the FAULT indicator is flashing on your ESAB Cutter, it could be due to: obstructed air flow through or around the unit or the unit's duty cycle has been exceeded (allow unit to cool). If the problem persists, it may be due to failed components in the unit.

  Amy MooreSep 23, 2025
  If nothing happens when the torch switch or remote switch is closed (or the CNC START signal is active) with no gas flow and the DC LED OFF on your ESAB Welding System, it could be due to: * A problem in the torch and leads switch circuit (Remote pendant switch circuit). Take the Torch and Leads (Remote Pendant) to an Authorized Repair Facility. * The CNC Controller device not providing a Start signal. Contact the Controller manufacturer. * Failed components in the unit. Return to authorized service center for repair or replacement.
