INSTALLATION 

 

Unpacking 

 

Check the packaging for any signs of damage.  

 

Carefully remove the machine and retain the packaging until the installation is complete. 

 

Location 

 

The machine should be located in a suitable position and environment. Care should be taken to avoid  
moisture, dust, steam, oil or corrosive gases. 

 

Place on a secure level surface and ensure that there is adequate clearance around the machine to ensure 
natural airflow. 

 

Input connection 

 

Before connecting the machine you should ensure that the correct supply is available. Details of the        
machine requirements can be found on the data plate of the machine or in the technical parameters 
shown in the manual. 

 

The equipment should be connected by a suitably qualified competent person. Always ensure the       
equipment has a proper grounding.  

 

Never connect the machine to the mains supply with the panels removed. 
 

Setting the air pressure  

 

 

The air regulator (8) and pressure gauge (4) are mounted on the front panel of the Cut 160. The inlet 
air connection is mounted on the rear panel of the machine, only connect a suitable dry compressed 
air supply (max 8 Bar).  

 

To set the air flow (5), switch on the air 
purge switch to allow air flow.  

 

Pull the pressure control knob (8)          
forwards.  

 

Adjust the gas pressure to the desired  
value by rotating the knob (rotate to “+” 
direction to increase gas pressure; rotate 
to “-” direction to reduce gas pressure).  

 

Push down the pressure control knob (8) 
to lock the knob.  

 

Any water which has been collected by the air regulator will be drained by the auto drain of the      
regulator.  

 

Please ensure that your compressor is capable of delivery of the volume of air that is required to run 
your plasma cutting machine to specification, we recommend the minimum air supply requirements 

      of 220 Ltr/min @ 5 Bar (73psi). 
 

Output connections 

 

Work return cable 

Insert the cable plug of the work return lead into the dinse socket on the front panel of the welding      
machine and tighten it clockwise.  

 

Please Note: 

Check these connections daily to ensure 
they have not become loose otherwise 
arcing may occur when used under load.
