READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING.  

This unit emits a powerful high voltage and extremely high temperature plasma arc of superheated air 
which can cause severe burns, dismemberment, electrical shock and death. Eastwood shall not be held 
liable for consequences due to deliberate or unintentional misuse of this product.

Plasma Cutting is the quickest, most effi cient way to cut through steel or aluminum. Your Eastwood 
Versa-Cut Model 12740 Plasma Cutting System with High-Frequency Inverter Technology is capable of 
cutting up to 3/8” thick aluminum and steel with precision and ease. The advanced inverter technology 
provides a powerful DC current at a super-high frequency, over 100KHz, with the added advantage of a 
light weight unit. A built-in piloting arc system guarantees an instant arc strike and voltage sensing circuitry 
allows 120 or 240 volt operation with no adjustments required.
