2.1 GENErAL
Proper installation is important for satisfactory and trouble-free operation of
the PowerCut cutting package. It is suggested that each step in this section be
studied carefully and followed closely.
2.2 EQUIPMENT rEQUIrED
A source of clean, dry air that supplies 350 cfh (165.2 l/m) at 80 psig (5.5 bar) is
required for the cutting operation. The air supply should not exceed 150 psig
(10.3 bar) (the maximum inlet pressure rating of the air filter-regulator supplied
with the package).
2.3 LOCATION
Adequate ventilation is necessary to provide proper cooling of the PowerCut.
The amount of dirt, dust, and excessive heat to which the equipment is exposed,
should be minimized. There should be at least one foot of clearance between
the PowerCut power source and wall or any other obstruction to allow freedom
of air movement through the power source.
2.4 INSPECTION
A. Remove the shipping container and all packing material and inspect for
evidence of concealed damage which may not have been apparent upon
receipt of the PowerCut. Notify the carrier of any defects or damage at
once.
B. Check container for any loose parts prior to disposing of shipping materi-
als.
C. Check air louvers and any other openings to ensure that any obstruction
is removed.
Installing or placing any type of filtering
device will restrict the volume of intake
air, thereby subjecting the power source
internal components to overheating.
The warranty is void if any type of filter
device is used.
