Keep your plasma cutter in top condition

The EZICUT / ADVANCECUT 40 does not require any special 
maintenance, however the user should take care of the machine 
as follows:

•  Regularly clean the ventilation slots.
•  Keep the casing clean.
•  Check all cables before use.
•  Check work leads/clamps and torches before use.
•  Replace worn earth clamps that do not provide a good 

connection.

•  Replace worn consumable parts in a timelymanner.
•  Use a soft cloth or brush to clean electrical components.
•  Do not use liquid cleaning products, water or especially 

solvents.

•  Do not use compressed air to clean electrical components as 

this can force dirt and dust further into components, causing 
electrical short circuits.

•  Check for damaged parts. Do not use the plasma cutter with 

damaged parts.

•  A damaged plasma cutter must be carefully checked by a 

qualified person to determine that it will operate properly. 
Check for breakage of parts, mountings and other conditions 
that may affect its operation. An authorised service centre 
should properly repair a damaged part. Have your machine 
repaired by an expert. 

This appliance is manufactured in accordance with relevant safety 
standards. Only experts must carry out repairing of electrical 
appliances, otherwise considerable danger for the user may 
result. Use only genuine replacement parts. Do not use modified 
or non-genuine parts.

Storing the Plasma Cutter

When not in use the plasma cutter should be stored in the dry 
and frost-free environment.

WARNING!

 

Before performing cleaning/maintenance, replacing 
cables / connections , make sure the welding machine is 
switched off and disconnected from the power supply.

Electrical Connection

The DURALLOY CUT 40PFC MV is designed to run on a standard 
15A 230V AC power supply. If an extension cord must be used, it 
should be no longer than 10m and be a heavy duty industrial 15A 
version with a minimum cable core of 2.5mm

.

Operating Environment

Adequate ventilation is required to provide proper cooling for the 
DURALLOY CUT 40PFC MV. Ensure that the machine is placed 
on a stable level surface where clean cool air can easily flow 
across the unit. The DURALLOY CUT 40PFC MV has electrical 
components and control circuit boards which will be damaged 
by excessive dust and dirt, so a clean operating environment is 
essential.

Compressed Air Requirements

A reliable and consistent supply of clean dry compressed air is 
essential for proper operation of the DURALLOY CUT 40PFC 
MV Although the machine contains its own filtration system, it is 
recommended the compressed air supply have external filtration 
in the line feeding the EZICUT 40 / ADVANCE CUT 40, both a 
standard water trap (sintered bronze filter) and, a coalescing 
filter (for oil in air). The EZICUT 40 / ADVANCE CUT 40 requires 
a minimum of 120 L/min (4.5cfm) Free Air Delivery (FAD) at 75psi 
pressure.

This normally means the compressor must be a belt drive model 
or if a direct drive, must have a motor power of 2.5HP or greater.

The air must be dry and free of oil and moisture (normally a 
symptom of older, worn out compressors). The air hose must also 
be of sufficient size (3/8”/10mm minimum) to supply the machine.
