Notes:
NR = Not Recommended
*Arc Voltage may not be achievable at input line voltages below 350 VAC.
The published cut speeds are the result of ESAB's laboratory testing. The actual optimum and maximum cutting speeds may
vary based on material composition, surface quality (rust, surface scale or primers, etc.) and various user setup parameters.
