CUTTING OPERATION
PRELIMINARIES
CAUTION!: Disonnect power source before disassembly of the torch.
AVERTISSEMENT: couper l’alimentation avant de désassembler la torche.
• Check and follow instructions as foreseen in the paragraphs “Safety and Installation” of the present in-
structions manual.
PARTS OF THE TORCH
• Check the torch for proper parts assembly order and installation (refer to Section called Torch Consuma-
ble Parts Selection). NOTE: The power supply will not operate unless the torch shield cup is fully seated
against the PIP (Parts in Place) pins in the torch head.
INPUT POWER
• Check the power source for proper input voltage.
• Make sure the power source meets circuit protection and wiring requirements.
• Plug unit in and close main disconnect switch to supply primary power to the system.
GROUND CABLE
• Check for a solid ground cable connection to the workpiece.
AUTOMATIC PURGE SYSTEM
• Place the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The ON light will flicker momentarily as the system powers
up and then stays on. Activate the torch trigger to initiate gas purge (pre-flow) to remove any condensation
that may have accumulated in the torch and leads while the system was shut down. When the gas purge
is complete, pilot arc will be initiated.
• If during cutting there is still condensation exiting from the torch, stop cutting and turn unit off. Wait for
torch cooling to remove the shield cup. Dry the shield cup inside with dry air.
CHECKING AIR QUALITY
• To check air quality, deactivate the torch (post-flow) and place welding filter lens in front of the torch. Any
oil or moisture in the air will be visible on the lens. DO NOT initiate pilot arc while checking air quality.
