What to do if my Hypertherm Cutter is not cutting well?
If your Hypertherm Cutter is not cutting well, ensure the work clamp is properly connected or repair it if broken. If the work clamp is fine, inspect the torch for cracks and replace it if necessary. Also, check the pilot arc relay CR1 for contacts that are welded shut, and replace the relay if it's defective.
What to do if there is no high frequency and no pilot arc on my Hypertherm Cutter?
If the green POWER ON indicator is illuminated, the torch switch is pressed, the DC ON indicator illuminates, but there is no high frequency and no pilot arc in your Hypertherm Cutter, start by checking the spark gap electrodes. Clean them with emery cloth, align, and regap to .020" per gap if needed. Make sure the electrode surfaces between the gaps are flat; if rounded, replace and regap them. Also, inspect the high voltage transformer T5 for leaking oil or overheating, and replace it if either condition exists. Finally, inspect the electrical connections at connectors PL26/REC26 (T5), TB3-60 and 61, and pins 3 and 4 at connectors PL6/REC2 (PCB7), repairing or replacing any defective connectors or wires.
Why does my Hypertherm Cutter shut off after being turned on?
If your Hypertherm Cutter shuts itself off after being turned on, it might be due to overheating; allow the unit to cool down. Also, check the gauge on the back panel to ensure there is sufficient air or gas pressure, and increase it if needed. Finally, check the auxiliary switches on the safety contactor and tighten them if they are loose.
