4.03 Sequence of Operation

The following is a typical sequence of operation
for this power supply.
1. Place the ON / OFF switch on the power
supply to ON (up) position (Red indicator
lamp is illuminated).
a. AC indicator turns on; fan turns
on.
NOTE!
During initial power up, there will be
a delay of about 2 seconds before
the AC Indicator light will illuminate
and the pre-flow gas and fan starts.
The gas will automatically flow from
torch for approximately 10 seconds
(only after the AC Indicator lamp is
illuminated) (The AC Indicator lamp
and fan turns on approximately 2
seconds after the ON/OFF switch
is enabled), this is a process that
makes sure all inputs (gas, input
power, torch connection, and torch
parts) are acknowledged for proper
operation.
2. Wear protective clothing, including welding
gloves and appropriate eye protection (see
table 1-1). Place tip on work piece and pull
trigger. Arc will initiate and start cutting ma-
terial.
• Standoff Cutting With Hand Torch
NOTE!
For best performance and parts life,
always use the correct parts for the
type of operation.
A. The torch can be comfortably held in
one hand or steadied with two hands.
Position the hand to press the Trigger on
the torch handle. With the hand torch,
the hand may be positioned close to the
torch head for maximum control or near
the back end for maximum heat protec-
tion. Choose the holding technique that
feels most comfortable and allows good
control and movement.

NOTE!
The tip should never come in con-
tact with the workpiece except dur-
ing drag cutting operations.
B. Depending on the cutting operation, do
one of the following:
a). For drag cutting, place the tip on the
plate holding the torch at a angle to
the plate so that only one edge of the
tip is in contact with the plate. This
prevents damage to the tip during the
piercing process.
b). For standoff cutting, hold the torch
tip on the work piece, pull the trigger.
After the arc is initiated lift the tip to
1/8" - 3/8" (3-4mm) off the work.
