3.0 general
Proper installation can contribute materially to the satisfactory and trouble-free operation of the
Powercut 650 cutting package. It is suggested that each step in this section be studied carefully and
followed as closely as possible.
3.1 equipment requireD
A source of clean, prefiltered dry air that supplies 250 cfh at 80 psig is required for the cutting operation.
The air supply should not exceed 150 psig (the maximum inlet pressure rating of the air filter-regulator
supplied with the package).
3.2 location
Adequate ventilation is necessary to provide proper cooling of the Powercut 650 and 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 650 power source and wall or any other ob-
struction to allow freedom of air movement through the power source.
Installing or placing any type of filtering device will restrict the volume of intake air, thereby subject-
ing the power source internal components to overheating. The warranty is void if any type of filter
device is used.
3.3 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 650. Notify the carrier
of any defects or damage at once.
B. Check container for any loose parts prior to disposing of shipping materials.
C. Check air louvers and any other openings to ensure that any obstruction is removed.
