Performance Data Plate

On the bottom of the Plasma System there is a plate that includes all of the operating specifications of
your Forney 700P Plasma System. Including the serial number of the product.
Duty Cycling & Overheating
The duty cycle is the amount of time, in minutes, that a plasma arc can remain on within a 10-minute
period when operated at an ambient temperature of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
If the power supply overheats because its duty cycle is exceeded, the yellow temperature LED will
illuminate, the arc will shut off and the cooling fan will continue to run. To resume cutting, wait for the
yellow temperature LED to extinguish. NOTE: Exceeding duty cycle can damage the system and void
warranty.
Torch Ratings & Specifications
Model: Plasma Torch
• Air-cooled torch for plasma arc cutting (PAC)
• Parts-In-Place (PIP) safety features require all parts to be in place prior to operation,
• Safety trigger guard
• 35% Duty Cycle
• Cutting Capacity, see below
TORCH CONSUMABLE PARTS SELECTION
To change the torch consumable parts, use the following procedure:
• 0.80mm nozzle to cut pieces less than 1/4" thick (output current 10-30 A) *use Set
1-Maximum Versatility Kit
• 0.90mm nozzle to cut pieces greater than 1/4" thick (output current 30-40 A) *use Set
1-Maximum Versatility Kit
• For contact cutting of pieces thicker than 1/4" with an output current of 30-40 A, use
0.90mm nozzle, shield cup and spacer from Set 2-Maximum Performance Kit

Cutting Capacity

In the event that pilot arc is not transferred between the plasma torch (electrode) and the work piece
within three seconds of pilot arc start, the cycle automatically stops (pilot arc stops) and the post flow air
continues to run cooling the torch.
