What to do if the arc does not transfer to the workpiece with Hypertherm Welding System?
If the arc doesn't transfer, clean the area where the work clamp contacts the workpiece to ensure a good metal-to-metal connection. Also, inspect the work clamp for damage and repair if needed. The pierce-height distance may be too large, so move the torch closer to the workpiece and try firing the torch again.
Why does the arc blow out on my Hypertherm Welding System?
If the arc blows out but re-ignites when the torch trigger is pressed again, inspect the consumable parts and replace them if they are worn or damaged. Also, replace the gas filter’s element if it is contaminated, and ensure the gas pressure is at the proper level.
What to do if Hypertherm Welding System doesn't turn on?
If the power switch is ON but the LED isn't lit, verify the power cord is plugged into the receptacle and that power is ON at the main power panel or disconnect switch box. Also, ensure the line voltage isn't too low (more than 15% below rated voltage) and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Why does the arc sputter and hiss on my Hypertherm Welding System?
If the arc sputters and hisses, it may be because the gas filter’s element is contaminated, so replace the element. Also, inspect the gas line for moisture; if necessary, install or repair the gas filtration to the power supply.
