GENERAL OPERATION
(continued)
PLASMA CUTTER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the operation mode switch to CUT (see page 4 for a diagram).
2. Connect the Plasma torch as shown on page 4 section 2 (same as MMA just a different torch)
3. Set your AMPS as desired (for the thickness of your work piece) AND AIR PRESSURE (65 PSI)
4. Turn on the MAIN power, no other settings are required, you are ready cut.
Note: There are many ways to plasma cut. Always use extreme caution and the proper protection. Always blow the
melted metals away from you. You can either get close to the work piece with the torch tip to start the arc or
drag the side of the torch tip for dragging and cutting. The internet has many websites that will explain
Plasma cutting as this is an instructional manual, be sure to search the internet for methods and example
projects.
CAUTIONS
1. Working Environment
1.1 The location in which this welding equipment is installed should be of little dust, corrosive chemical gas,
flammable gas or materials etc, and of maximum 80% humidity
1.2 Avoid the operation of welding in the open air unless the working area is sheltered from the sunshine, rain
water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -10°C to +40°C;
1.3 Keep this cutting equipment 2’ or more from the wall or obstacle .
1.4 Only work in a well ventilated area.
Safety Tips
2.1 Ventilation: This cutting equipment is small-sized, compact in structure, and has excellent performance in amper-
age output. The fans are only to extract heat generated by its internal electronics. Make sure your cutting area is
well ventilated and use proper protection (breathing protection if required).
Cautions:
Make sure the louvers (vents) on the equipment as always clear of obstructions. Good ventila-
tion is critical for the proper performance and service life of this cutting equipment.
2.2 O.C. Overload
If a sudden halt occurs while cutting or welding and the O.C. (over current) light comes one, simply stop
welding. Do not turn off the unit or restart it either. Leave the unit ON and allow the internal fans to bring
down the temperature inside the equipment. Continue when the O.C. light goes out.
2.3 Over-voltage
Regarding the power supply voltage range of the equipment, refer to the Main parameter tables (page 6
and 7). This cutting equipment has automatic voltage compensation in the power supply, which al-
lows it to operate within the given ranges listed there. In case that the voltage exceeds the stipulated
value, it is possibly damaging to the components of this equipment.
2.4 An earth terminal ground should be used if required and available. Connect the earth ground cable to
avoid the static and electric shock.
2.5 DO NOT ever contact the output terminals (torch and ground) when welding or cutting. An
electric
shock will occur.
Keep SAFETY as number one, you are working with voltage, high amperage, sparks and gas.
