Plasma system maintenance
Hypertherm cutting systems can operate in harsh conditions for many years. To maintain cutting system
performance, minimize operating costs, and lengthen cutting system life, it is important to follow all
maintenance procedures and schedules.
If you have questions about how to maintain your cutting system, contact your cutting machine supplier or
regional Hypertherm Technical Service team. You can find contact information for your regional office at
www.hypertherm.com on the "Contact us" page.
This section of the manual describes maintenance steps that you must do daily, before system
operation.
