trigger is pulled, indicating cutting current is
activated.
PROTECTION INDICATOR LIGHT
When the unit is in thermal overload, is over
voltage or lacking voltage, the indicator will be
on and cutting output will stop. Leave the unit on.
When the unit is cooled down and/or voltage
stabilizes, the Protection Indicator Light will turn
off and the unit will automatically start output
again.
LOW AIR INDICATOR LIGHT
This light will be on when the air pressure or air
flow is low.
CURRENT ADJUSTMENT
Variable adjust the output cutting current. The
higher output matches the thicker metal. The
maximum cutting thickness is up to 11/16″ for
this unit. Please note that the maximum cutting
thickness varies depending on the material type
you are cutting. See the table on the previous
page for reference. When operating on 120V
power, the output amperage is limited to 20A
only. Adjust the output current adjustment to 20A.
GROUND CABLE AND CLAMP
The ground cable clamp connects to your work
piece completing the electrical circuit. Without a
clean, rust and paint free connection, the arc will
not transfer from Pilot Arc to Cutting Arc.
PLASMA TORCH AND CABLE
The torch delivers compressed air and output
power that is needed to create the plasma arc.
AIR HOSE CONNECTION
The gas hose connection is on the back panel of
the plasma cutter. This connection requires a 1/4”
inch NPT connection (Not supplied). The other
end of the air hose connects to an air
compressor or compressed air supply. This
model now comes equipped with an internal air
water separator.
POWER SWITCH
The Power Switch allows input power to the
machine components. After the machine is
connected to the input power supply, turn on this
switch. The power indicator on the front panel
will turn on.
POWER CORD AND PLUG
Plug this unit into a 230V, 50A circuit breaker
power supply when operating on 230V. If
running on 120V power using the supplied
120V power cord adapter, plug this unit into a
120V, 20A circuit breaker power supply.
INSTALLATION
• High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle. This 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, 50 Amp input power
supply. Or, when using the supplied
adapter, connect the 120V Adapter to a
properly grounded 120V, 20 Amp input
power supply.
1. POWER REQUIREMENT 230V - AC
single phase 230V (200-240V) 50/60
HZ fused with a 50A 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.
2. POWER REQUIREMENT 120V - AC
single phase 120V (110-130V) 50/60
HZ fused with a 20A time delayed fuse
or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT
OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL
power source voltage is less than 110
volts AC or greater than 130 volts AC.
a. When connecting this unit to
120V power, connect the 120V
adapter cord to the power cord
pigtail that is attached to the
machine.
