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!

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.
