POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The machine must be connected to a Line-Neutral system with a “PE” protected grounding wire. Check
that the relevant socket terminal is actually connected to the distribution system grounding.
This machine is shipped with a power cord complete with a 120V/15Amps (NEMA 5-15P) plug.
CONNECTION TO GROUND CABLE
Connect the ground cable clamp to the piece to be cut or to the metallic workbench. Take following pre-
cautions:
• Verify that there is a good electrical contact particularly if insulated or oxidated coated sheets are cut.
• Make ground connections as close as possible to the cutting area. The use of the metallic structures which
are not part of the workpiece, such as the return cable of the cutting current, may endanger the safety
system and give poor cutting results.
• Do not make a ground connection on the piece which has to be removed.
WARNING!: Use torches specified in this instructions manual.
CAUTION!: Disconnect power source before disassembly of the torch.
AVERTISSEMENT: couper l’alimentation avant de désassembler la torche.
WARNING!: Before starting the cutting operations verify that the parts are properly assembled
by inspecting the head of the torch as shown on paragraph “Torch Maintenance”
LOCATION AND HANDLING OF THE POWER SOURCE
• Choose location verifying that there is a good air flow and no dust, smoke or gas is present.
• Place the unit on a flat and stable surface.
• Make sure that obstacles do not prevent the cooling air flow out of front and rear openings of the machine.
• Arrange an open space of at least 5m around the machine.
• In the case the machine has to be moved, always disconnect the plug from the outlet and gather the
cables so as not to damage them.
TORCH CONNECTION
CAUTION!
A circuit capable of 15 Amps, 120V is required for proper operation. Protect the
circuit with appropriately sized time-delay fuses (20A) or circuit breakers.
EXTENSION CORD RECOMMENDATIONS
Avoid using an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, use an extension cord of an ap-
propriate wire size for the cord length and system voltage. Use a cord that meets national and local cods.
Input Voltage Phase Recommended cord gauge size Length
120VAC 1 12 AWG up to 33 ft (10m) - suggested
up to 50 ft (15m) - maximum
GENERATOR RECOMMENDATIONS
When using a generator with this machine, it should produce 120VAC.
