Installation and Operator Instructions 

 
Read this entire section before installation or operation of 
the machine. 
 

Location and Environment 

This machine will operate in harsh environments. 
However, it is important that simple preventative 
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable 
operation. 

  Do not place or operate this machine on a surface with 

an incline greater than 15° from horizontal. 

  Do not use this machine for pipe thawing. 

  This machine must be located where there is free 

circulation of clean air without restrictions for air 
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover the 
machine with paper, cloth or rags when switched on. 

  Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine 

should be kept to a minimum. 

  This machine has a protection rating of IP23S. Keep it 

dry when possible and do not place it on wet ground 
or in puddles. 

  Locate the machine away from radio controlled 

machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect the 
operation of nearby radio controlled machinery, which 
may result in injury or equipment damage. Read the 
section on electromagnetic compatibility in this 
manual. 

  Do not operate in areas with an ambient temperature 

greater than 40°C. 

 

Duty Cycle 

The duty cycle of a welding machine is the percentage of 
time in a 10 minute cycle at which the welder can operate 
the machine at rated welding current. 
 
Example: 60% duty cycle: 

 

Cutting for 6 minutes. 

Break for 4 minutes. 

 

Excessive extension of the duty cycle will cause the 
thermal protection circuit to activate.

Input Supply Connection 

 

 WARNING

 

Only a qualified electrician can connect the equipment to 
the supply network. Installation had to be made in 
accordance with the appropriate National Electrical Code 
and local regulations. 
 
Check the input voltage, phase and frequency supplied to 
this machine before turning it on. Verify the connection of 
ground wires from the machine to the input source. 

PRESTOJET 30K & 45 

must be connected to a correctly 

installed plug-in socket with an earth pin. Input voltage is: 

 

PRESTOJET 30K 

230Vac 50Hz, 

 

PRESTOJET 45 

 120Vac, 230Vac 50Hz. 

For more information about input supply refer to the 
technical specification section of this manual and to the 
rating plate of the machine. 
 
Make sure that the amount of mains power available from 
the input supply is adequate for normal operation of the 
machine. The necessary delayed fuse or circuit breaker 
and cable sizes are indicated in the technical specification 
section of this manual. 
 

 WARNING

 

The equipment can be supplied from a power generator of 
output power at least 30% larger than input power of the 
cutting machine. 
 

 WARNING

 

When powering the machine from a generator be sure to 
turn off machine first, before generator is shut down, in 
order to prevent damage to equipment!
