CAUTION
• Double check the plasma cutter is
connected right in good working conditions as described
in page 7. Make sure you follow the safety Warnings in
pages 4 and 5.
• Turn ON the cutter switch (A) to see if the operation is
normal. If so, the fan will start and the power indicating
light will be ON (B).
• The right air pressure for the cutter is 55 PSI - 70 PSI. If
the inlet pressure is lower, the arc when cutting will be
intermittent and the cut quality will be reduced. In the
event, there is no air in the line, the low air level
indicating light (C) will be ON and the cutter will not
generate the plasma arc to make the cut.
• Adjust the air flow control knob (D) to set the pressure
that is right for the cutting job.
• Release the trigger lock (E). The plasma cutter is ready
to operate.
Pilot Flame
1. Upon pressing and releasing the torch trigger, air will start coming out without generating any arc.
2. Keep pressed the torch trigger without approaching it to the work piece and a pilot flame will be started. This flame is no
capable of making an effective cut, however, it prevents the material to disperse when tuning ON the flame close to the
piece.
3. Upon putting the torch near the work piece with the pilot flame ON, automatically a plasma arc is generated and you
can start cutting.

General Considerations

• The cut shall always start in the work piece edge. Move
the torch in one direction only unless piercing is required.
CAUTION
nozzle and the work piece. Use the cutting guide (F). The
nozzle contact onto the work piece may cause the nozzle
gets stuck and interfere with the cutting movement,
getting a faulty cut.
• Keep the torch tip perpendicular to the work piece.
Observe and confirm the puddle moves along the cutting
line.
• Do not press the trigger intermittently. It damages the
torch components and the work piece.
CAUTION

moist in the cutter or the torch may cause problems in
the operation.
