    Why is there excessive dross forming during cutting with my Fronius TransCut 300?
    • C
      Christopher HillAug 16, 2025
      Excessive dross formation during cutting can occur if the cutting speed is either too fast or too slow, so adjust the cutting speed accordingly. It could also be due to the cutting current being too low, so you may need to increase it. Ensure you've selected the correct operating mode. Also, check that the cutting torch is applied correctly, using a slight forward inclination.

    What to do if my Fronius TransCut 300 Cutter has poor cutting performance?
    • C
      Chad YoungAug 19, 2025
      Poor cutting performance with your Fronius Cutter can be due to several factors. Ensure that the cutting current isn't too low and that the distance from the workpiece isn't too great; increase the current or reduce the distance. A poor earth connection can also cause this, so check the contact between the earth terminal and the workpiece. If you're using a mains lead extension, try a shorter one.

      Matthew RuizAug 22, 2025
      If the arc breaks during cutting with your Fronius Cutter, it could be due to a poor earth connection; check the contact between the earth terminal and the workpiece. Excessively worn wearing parts can also cause this, so replace them if needed. Using a very long mains lead extension or insufficient generator output may also lead to this issue; try a shorter extension lead or a more powerful generator.

      marissa71Aug 25, 2025
      Incomplete arc penetration with the Fronius Cutter can occur if the cutting speed is too fast or the distance from the workpiece is too great; reduce the cutting speed or decrease the distance. Worn wearing parts or a poor earth connection may also be the cause, so replace the parts or check the earth terminal connection.

    What does it mean when the torch indicator is lit on my Fronius Cutter?
    • C
      Cristian MuellerAug 28, 2025
      If the torch indicator is lit on your Fronius Cutter, it might be due to the protective cap or wearing parts being fitted incorrectly on the cutting torch. Ensure they are fitted correctly. It could also indicate that the wearing parts are faulty or worn, so replace them if necessary.

    Why is steam escaping from the torch of my Fronius TransCut 300?
    • T
      Tamara BradyAug 31, 2025
      If steam is escaping between the body of the torch and the protective cap of your Fronius Cutter, ensure the protective cap is tightened correctly on the cutting torch. Also, the cutting nozzle cone might be dirty or damaged; clean it or install a new cutting nozzle.
