DUTY CYCLE

Duty Cycle

 is the equipment specifications which defines the number of minutes within a 10 minute period that a piece of 

equipment can safely operate.

This plasma cutter 40 has a 60% duty cycle at 40 Amps,

 which means that it may be used only 6 minutes at 40 Amps out of 

any 10 minute period, and must be rested the remaining 4 minutes.

CAUTION:

 Failure to observe the duty cycle limitations of this Plasma Cutter can easily damage this equipment, and will void 

warranty.
Preparing Your Work Area
1. You must have a sturdy work table that is open below the area you are cutting. Molten slag will be blown through the work 

metal, and must be able to fall away freely
2. Your work table must allow the work metal to be firmly clamped to prevent it accidentally falling or moving.
3. The floor and surrounding area of your work site must not be flammable. A clean cement floor is recommended. The 

cutting process will eject molten metal slag onto the floor, and it will scatter for 2.3-3m or more in any direction. Have an 

adequate fire extinguisher available if needed.
