Torch Assembly (If Required) - Forney Plasma Torch Manual De Instrucciones

POWER SOURCE HANDLING & POSITIONING
• Locate your Forney 250P+ Plasma System near a 120VAC power receptacle.
• Should an extension cord be required, Forney suggests a 120V, 1-Phase extension cord with
a 10 AWG gauge size up to a maximum of 50 feet in length.
• Choose location verifying that there is a good air flow and no dust, smoke or gas is present.
• Place the unit on a flat and stable surface.
• Make sure that obstacles do not prevent the cooling air flow out of front and rear openings
of the machine.
• Arrange an open space of at least 15 feet (5m) around the machine.
• In the case the machine has to be moved, always disconnect the plug from the outlet and
gather the cables so as not to damage them.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUNDING
• To ensure personal safety, proper operation, and to reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI), the Forney 250P+ must be properly grounded.
• The power supply must be grounded through the power cord according to national and local
electrical standards.
• Single-phase service must be of the 3-wire type with a green or green/yellow wire for the
protective earth ground. Do not use 2-wire service.
AIR/GAS SUPPLY
• Your Forney 250P+ Plasma System includes a built-in piston air compressor; therefore, you
have no need for a shop air source or compressed gas cylinders to operate your system
successfully.
