INSTALLATION
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of
receptacle. This plasma cutter must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
Do not remove grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Use only the supplied adapter
between the plasma cutter's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the
POWER switch is OFF when connecting your plasma cutter’s power cord directly to a properly
grounded 230 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase, 60 amp input power supply.
1. POWER REQUIREMENT 230V - AC single phase 230V (200-240V) 50/60 Hz fused with a 60
amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the
ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 215 volts AC or greater than 240 volts AC. This unit
is supplied with a NEMA Class 6-50P plug and will require a NEMA Class 6-50R receptacle.
2. EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend extension cords because of the voltage drop they
produce. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the plasma cutter. If you need to use
an extension cord, check with a qualified electrician and your local electrical codes for your
specific area.
3. INSTALLATION OF THE CUTTING TORCH - Your torch should be fully assembled and ready to
install. The diagram below shows the components of the torch head and how those components
are installed.
a. Connect the Pilot Arc cable (Red) on the plasma torch to the Arc Start Cable Connection.
See below.
b. Connect the Torch Control Cable (Black) 3 prong connector to the Torch Trigger Control
Connection. See below.
c. Connect the Torch Weld Cable (Yellow Nut) to the Negative (-) output connection.
See below.
d. Connect the Grounding Cable to the Positive (+) output connection. See below.
