2. Cutting hard-facing, galvanized, stainless and other
plated steels or metals produces highly toxic fumes.
Always read the MSDS for the product, metal or work
prior to cutting. Exhaust, mechanical ventilation and
a respirator may be required for minimal exposure to
these fumes.
3. Cylinders and containers that may have held harmful
gases should be properly vented prior to cutting.
Failure to ventilate these containers will produce toxic
gases that are harmful to the operator and all personnel
located within the workspace.
4. DO NOT cut near chlorinated hydrocarbons from
degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
5. Read and understand the product instructions and
MSDS sheet for any consumables or products used in
conjunction with this product. There are risks outside
of the operation of this product that can cause unsafe
working conditions.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. DO NOT connect to power while assembling or
performing maintenance on this unit.
2. DO NOT attempt to use if the unit fails to switch
ON or OFF.
3. DO NOT exceed the Rated Duty Cycle (see page 5),
4. ALWAYS ensure the Power is in the OFF position
prior to plugging the unit into a power source.
5. ALL INSTALLATION AND REPAIR OF THIS
EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
INTRODUCTION TO PLASMA CUTTING
Plasma – Channel of superheated, electrically ionized gas.
Plasma Arc Cutting – Compressed air is pushed
through a focused nozzle directed toward an electrically
conductive workpiece. An electrical arc is formed within
the gas, between an integrated electrode (within the
nozzle of the Torch) and the workpiece. Electricity from
the Torch travels through the plasma to heat and melt
the workpiece. The plasma blows the melted metal away
from the workpiece, creating separation.
NOTE: Plasma cutting is used to create controlled
separation of material, at a specified/focused depth
and width.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
:
Read all warnings and safety instructions
prior to installing this product.
1. Unpack all items from the box and reference the parts
list to ensure all parts are present before continuing
assembly.
2. Place the Plasma Cutter onto a clean, protected
surface that can support the weight of the Plasma
Cutter. Ensure the Plasma Cutter is placed at a
distance that will not overextend the cord or place
tension on the plug.
3. The Plasma Cutter can be plugged into a properly
grounded 110V AC or 220V AC outlet. When
connecting to a 110V AC power source, the 110V
adapter must be used.
POWER REQUIREMENT 110V:
DO NOT attempt to operate this unit if the power source
voltage is less than 110V AC or greater than 130V AC.
POWER REQUIREMENT 220V:
DO NOT attempt to operate this unit if the power source
voltage is less than 215V AC or greater than 240V AC.
NOTE: It is recommended that an extension cord not be
used with this Plasma Cutter; the voltage drop can affect
cutting performance.
4. The Plasma Torch is preassembled. Connect the
Plasma Torch to the Plasma Cutter.
5. Connect the Ground Cable/Clamp to the
Plasma Cutter.
6. Connect to a compressed air source (air
requirements: 60-70 PSI). It is highly recommended
to use a moisture removing filter between
compressor and the Plasma Cutter.
NOTE: Check the cylinder valves and connection points
for any oil, grease, dirt or debris.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: These instructions describe very basic processes
as they apply to the operation of this Plasma Cutter.
There are many different types of Plasma Cutters and
cutting procedures that cannot be described in detail
by this instruction manual. Proficiency in plasma cutting
requires practice, education and testing. DO NOT rely
solely on this product manual for instructions on proper
plasma cutting technique. By using this product, the
operator understands that OEMTOOLS
™
cannot be held
responsible for property damage caused by operator
negligence, ignorance or general mistakes..
NOTE: After reading through this manual, it is
recommended that the operator, despite experience level,
practice cutting scrap metal with this Plasma Cutter.
General operation and performance will vary by model.
1. Thoroughly read the Assembly Instruction Section and
complete product installation.
2. Connect the Ground Clamp to a clean, bare metal
surface on the workpiece. If necessary, use the wire
brush to scrape/file any paint or residue from the
surface of the workpiece to achieve a proper ground.
WARNING
:
Thoroughly read warnings regarding
electric shock and fire hazards prior to this step.
3. Switch the Power to ON.
4. Set the air pressure within the recommended range
(60-70 PSI). Higher air pressure is needed to cut
thicker/harder metals, lower air pressure is needed to
cut thinner metals.
5. Set the output amperage to the desired setting. Higher
amperage is needed to cut thicker/harder metals, lower
amperage is needed to cut thinner metals.
WARNING
:
DO NOT attempt to operate the Plasma
