A major fault occurred. These fault codes stop the system from
operating. Do the following.
• Do a cold restart. In some conditions, a
restart can remove the fault condition.
• If restarting the plasma power supply does
not remove the fault condition, a qualified
service technician must repair the system.
Speak to your distributor or authorized
repair facility.
CAUTION
Point the torch away from you before doing a gas test. Always keep hands, clothes, and objects clear of
the torch tip. Never point the torch toward yourself or others.
