Plasma Torch
Warning! Turn off plasma cutter and
disconnect from input power supply prior to
servicing.
Warning! Plasma torch parts reach high
temperatures when cutting. To avoid the risk
of burns, please wait for the plasma torch to
cool completely prior to servicing or
replacing consumables.
Cleaning the torch consumables regularly helps
maintain the life of the parts.
Check the nozzles and electrodes for proper
installation prior to each use.
Check the air supply quality prior to each use,
and make sure the air is set to at least 70 psi
when cutting.
As consumable parts, the nozzle and electrode
wear out due to use. Check the nozzle and
electrode regularly and replace when necessary.
Warning! Turn off plasma cutter and
disconnect from input power supply prior to
servicing.
Remove cover and inspect the inside of power
source once a month. Use an air compressor to
remove any dust and debris. You can also
remove dust and debris without removing the
cover by blowing into the louvers located on the
front and/or back of the power source. Removing
dust and debris from inside the power source
ensures the unimpeded operation of your plasma
cutting equipment.
Check the power cable and power cable
connection regularly.

Maintenance & Service
For instance, when the hole in the cutting tip
measures about 1/16” in diameter, replace the
cutting tip; when the electrode develops a center
pit measuring approximately 1/16” deep, replace
the electrode. Keeping an eye on the life status of
cutting tips and electrodes, and replacing these
parts when necessary, ensures continual cutting
efficiency. Check all other torch consumables for
damage and replace if necessary.
Check the torch handle for cracks and replace if
necessary.
If you notice any damage to the machine or torch
cable assembly, contact HTP America, Inc. directly
at 1-800-USA-WELD.
ALL OTHER SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED
BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.
