•
The operating pressure must be between 3 and 3.5 bar (0.3 and 0.35Mpa)
•
The supply must also have a flow rate of approximately 7.2 cfm.
Failure to operate within the limits could result in excessive operating
temperatures or damage to the machine.

Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the machine It is
recommended that air pressure to the plasma cutter does not exceed 90 psi
at the machine. Higher pressures are a possible safety hazard.
