Quick Setup
and Use Guide
1. Make sure the work area is adequately ventilated.
The Plasma cutter is supplied with Axial-flow fan to cool both upper and lower
heat sinks and boards.
NOTES: Exhaust and Intake vents must be clear of any obstructions in order to
allow the Plasma cutter to adequately get air flow for cooling. A minimum of
twelve inches is required for air flow to and from all vents.
2. Correct voltage must be used for all amp settings either on 11Ov or 220v the
voltage drop cannot go lower than 105 volts on 11Ovor 210 volts on 220v Do not
exceed load or operate at maximum duty cycle on a constant basis as this will
shorten the life of various internal components.
3. Voltage Range
The power voltage range of the plasma cutter is shown on the technical data
page. Automatic voltage compensation circuits will help prevent the unit from
exceeding the allowable range. However, if the input voltage is too high, it could
damage components.
4. Thermal overload sensors will switch on if the unit exceeds the duty cycle. Fans
will continue to run but no power is available. Once the unit is cooled down, the
power switch can be turned OFF and then back ON to continue cutting. Powering
the unit OFF and ON resets the thermal overload switch. The red O.C. overload
light appears when the Plasma cutter hits the duty cycle.
CUTTING NOTES
1. When cutting thinner material, up to 2 to 3 mm, you can drag tip the torch
and the cutting tip can touch the material as you cut. For thicker materials it is
recommended that a distance of 3 mm (1/ 16"to 1/8")distance be kept from the
cutting surface. This not only gives better consumable life but it increases cut
quality.
2. The Work piece clamp or grounding clamp must be placed on a clean section of
metal, as close as possible to the cutting area in order to have a good ground and
maximum efficiency. If the ground is bad, problems will arise with poor cutting
quality and loss of cutting arc.
