electronically at the power supply. As this current flow is sensed, the high frequency is
disabled and the pilot arc relay is opened. Gas ionization is maintained with energy from
the main DC arc.
4. The temperature of the plasma arc melts the metal, pierces through the work piece and the
high velocity gas flow removes the molten material from the bottom of the cut kerf. At this
time, torch motion is initiated and the cutting process begins.
5. Once you have completed your cut, post-flow (air) runs to cool the torch & consumables so
your system is ready for your next cut.
ADVANTAGES OF PLASMA
1. Better cut quality – Less dross, smaller heat effected zone, and better cut angle.
2. Greater productivity – Cutting and piercing times that are up to 8.5 times faster than oxy-
fuel.
3. Lower cost per part – While plasma operating costs tend to be higher than oxy-fuel,
operators make up for the extra cost by increasing the linear feet that can be cut in an hour,
thus reducing the cost per foot to cut especially over the length of the project.
4. Higher profitability – Lower costs per part = more profits.
Easier to use – Drag cutting, no gases to regulate, no flames to set and simple adjustments.
6. More flexible – Cuts any electrically conductive material while oxy-fuel can cut only mild
steel. Excellent for the following cutting types: Beveling, Gouging, Piercing, Template &
Circle Guide Cutting, Freehand Cutting, Stack Cutting, Marking Cuts, Drop Cutting.
7. Improved safety – No compressed gases, no flammable gases.
UNPACK YOUR FORNEY 325P PLASMA SYSTEM
• Verify all items purchased have been received in good condition.
• Inspect your power supply for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
COMPONENTS
• Verify the items in the box against the illustrations including this operating manual.
• For shipping purposes, the black handle and torch wrap on top of the plasma system are
shipped unassembled.
• To assemble the handle, place the black handle in the middle/top of the plasma system
matching the holes up with those on the system. Using the black bolts (2-each) provided in
the plastic parts bag, insert the bolts & washers into the handle to tighten it in place.
•
NOTE: Spare consumables are included in the parts bag for replacement of the parts in
you torch after using the torch. Keep in a safe place for future use.
