1. ON/OFF Switch – In the ON position the machine is ready for normal operation. All system
control circuits are activated. OFF position deactivates control circuits.
2. Green LED– It blinks for a few seconds to show that capacitors are being charged and that
the unit is getting ready for operation. It turns ON when input voltage is applied within
normal range (95 - 270V).
3. Yellow LED– Turns ON when the thermal or over-current protection is activated.
4. Red LED–Turns ON when the under pressure protection is working (pressure is under 50 PSI).
It blinks when there is a short circuit inside the torch or when torch parts are not properly
installed.
5. Yellow LED - Turns ON when torch is triggered. It blinks quickly during the safety pre-flow
prior to pilot arc ignition. It blinks slowly if cutting arc is not initiated after 5 seconds.

10. Torch connection

Work Clamp Attachment

Connect the ground cable clamp to the work-piece to be cut or to the metallic workbench. Take
following precautions:
• Verify that there is a good electrical contact particularly if insulated or oxidized coated sheets
are cut.
• Make ground connections as close as possible to the cutting area to reduce exposure electric
and magnetic fields (EMF).
• The use of the metallic structures which are not part of the work-piece, such as the return
cable of the cutting current, may endanger the safety system and give poor cutting results.
• Do not make a ground connection on the piece which has to be removed.
• The work clamp must be attached to the work-piece while cutting.

Connect Input Power Cord

Plug in the Forney 700P power cord to a proper 230V or 120V (with adapter) receptacle.

Power On the System

Set the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the machine to the On position.

Cutting Operation

BEFORE OPERATING THE SYSTEM
CAUTION! Disconnect power source before disassembly of the torch. Check and follow instructions
including safety precautions presented in this operating manual.

Parts of the Torch

Check the torch for proper parts assembly order and installation (refer to Section called Torch
Consumable Parts Selection). NOTE: The power supply will not operate unless the torch shield cup is
fully seated against the PIP (Parts in Place) pins in the torch head.
