MAX200 Instruction Manual 4-5
OPERATION
6. Position the torch at the edge of the workpiece at the point where the cut will begin. (If you plan to pierce or
gouge, see Operating Tips for proper techniques.)
7. Squeeze the torch trigger switch. There will be a two-second flow of gases before the pilot arc ignites.
8. Once the pilot arc ignites, move the torch into the cut path. When the torch is close enough to transfer the pilot
arc (the arc will intensify), hesitate until the cutting arc is at full power.
Note: Ensure that the plasma gas pressure is properly adjusted – it may be off 2-3 psi from the original
setting. Readjust it if necessary.
9. Move the torch along the cut path until the cut is complete.
10. When all cutting is complete, push the red OFF button until the green ON button goes out.
11. Shut off all gas supplies.
