1.

  Set up the main track that the machine is to run on, parallel to the work-piece. Slide the  

 

  machine onto the track, front end first. 

 

2.

  Plug the machine into the power line of correct voltage, and push the RESET button. 

3.

  Push the red STOP button and use the toggle switches to move the machine and cross  

 

  rail to the starting position. Press the Reset button to make this the starting point. 

4.

  Set the speed knob for correct speed. Speed can be checked by moving the machine  

 

  manually using the toggle switches. 

5.

  If the required shape has not been programmed, refer to Shape Programming, and enter  

 

  the program. If the shape has been programmed, turn on the preheat gases, set the torch    

  height and ignite the torch. 

 

6.

  When the work piece is heated enough, press the black RUN button. The solenoid will  

 

  turn on the cutting oxygen, the machine will start moving along the programmed shape,  

 

  and at the end of the shape it will stop and turn off the solenoid. Manually turn of the    

 

  preheat gases. The machine is now ready for the next cut.
