CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your
Local Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

USER RESPONSIBILITY
Because design, fabrication, erection and cutting
variables affect the results obtained in applying this
type of information, the serviceability of a product or
structure is the responsibility of the user. Variation
such as plate chemistry, plate surface condition
(oil, scale), plate thickness, preheat, quench, gas
type, gas flow rate and equipment may produce
results different than those expected. Some
adjustments to procedures may be necessary to
compensate for unique individual conditions. Test all
procedures duplicating actual field conditions.
DESIGN FEATURES AND
ADVANTAGES
The machine design makes plasma cutting uncom-
plicated. This list of design features and advantages
will help you understand the machine's total
capabilities so that you can get maximum use from
your machine.
- Light weight and portable design for industrial use.
- Reliable touch start mechanism for plasma arc
initiation.
- Rapid arc restrike for fast cutting of expanded metal.
- Purge section on output dial.
- Air regulator and pressure gage included.
- Parts-in-Place mechanism to detect proper
installation of consumables and torch.
- Preflow/Postflow timing. Preflow is eliminated if
arc is reinitiated in Postflow.
- Thermostatic Protection.
- Solid state over-current protection.
- Unique electrode and nozzle design for optimum
cooling and long life.
CUTTING CAPABILITY
The mac h i n e is rated at the biggest current, at 60%
duty cycle on a 10 minute basis. If the duty cycle is
exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output of
the machine until it cools to the normal operating
temperature.
CONSUMABLE LIFE
The expected life for the machine's electrode
under normal operating conditions is
approximately 1000 starts/cuts. An erosion of .060"
is typical for end of electrode life, however, the
electrode life may last longer. A green and erratic
arc will indicate definite electrode failure and the
electrode should be replaced immediately.
It is recommended that consumables be replaced in
complete sets. (Example: Electrode and Nozzle).
This will maximize the performance of the machine.
