Piercing sound:
WAZER Pro always starts every segment of a cut with a pierce. When the high-speed slurry coming
out of the nozzle hits the work piece you will hear a very loud noise coming from the cutting area.
However, as the water/slurry stream progresses through the material you will hear the pitch
change. Once the work piece is pierced through, the volume of noise will significantly drop. This
sudden change in loudness is the tell tale sign of successful pierce and indicates WAZER Pro is
ready to proceed with cutting motion. However, if no obvious change in either sound level or pitch
takes place for a prolonged time, it likely means something is not right. Pause the cut and refer to
trouble shooting section to diagnosis the problem.
Abrasive usage:
Whenever the WAZER Pro is cutting or piercing it is consuming abrasive. During a cut you can
verify that abrasive is flowing by observing the pile up of used abrasive around the nozzle. If you
see any problem combined with partial or no cutting, pause the cut and refer to the support
section for problem diagnosis.
Pressure fluctuation:
Water supply at homes and commercial settings may suffer from temporary pressure
inconsistency. As a result, this will affect the output pressure of the Pump. Make sure water input
pressure stays above 35 psi (2.4 Bar), minor reductions of a few PSI are not an issue. If pressure
fluctuation is too frequent, contact local water supply authority for more information.
Partial cutting / tail cutting:
Partial Cutting means that the Jet is not cutting all the way through the Material. This is evident
when the Jet exits horizontally (opposite the Nozzle’s traverse direction) instead of downward into
the Tank. If this happens, press Start/ Stop immediately. Refer to the website support section for
more information.
Allowing your machine to partially cut puts a lot of stress on the machine. This will
cause permanent damage to your machine.
Various error messages may pop up during cutting
•
Add Water To Cut Bed Level: This error indicates that the Water Level in the Tank is too low.
Refer to the website support section for more information.
• Check Drain Filter And Dump Hose: This error indicates that WAZER is not draining properly,
likely due to a clogged Drain Filter or an obstructed Water Drain Hose. Follow the instruction
on the screen, or refer to the website support section for more information. If this error
message appears often, contact customer support.
• Fill Abrasive Hopper & Empty used abrasive: This message indicates that the Abrasive
Hopper is nearly empty. Refill the Abrasive Hopper and continue cutting.
• Cut Failed Lower Tank Water To Cut Bed Level: Something has gone wrong in the drain
system and the tank has filled to the high water level safety switch.
• Service Required Check Backflow and Water Sensor: High pressure water backflows into
the abrasive hose and backflow sensor pauses the machine operation.
• Regenerate Cut File With the Latest Version of Wam: Proper function of the WAZER it is
important that both the firmware and the version of WAM used are the latest so they are
compatible. This error occurs when the firmware version is significantly newer than the WAM
version used to generate the file.
• Unexpected End of the Cut File. Check Setup & File: This error will typically occur when
something goes wrong with the transfer of the cut file to the controller, contact customer
support.
