Contents
1. Remove all parts from box.
2. Screw the pressure gauge into the 1/8" bsp hole on the regulator
3. Screw the brass fitting into the port marked "out" and fit your required fitting
into the port marked "in". NOTE you will need to used ptfe tape to seal the threads
4. Fit the regulator bracket onto rear of Plasma.
5. Remove locking ring from top of regulator and fit the regulator onto the fixing
bracket hole, re-fit the locking ring.
6. Connect the regulator port marked out to fitting on the rear of the plasma, use
the supplied pipe you can cut it to the required length, clamp the hose into posi-
tion with the hose clips supplied.
7. Fit earth return lead into the terminal marked ‘EARTH CLAMP’.
8. Fit the insulator into the torch nut and screw the torch onto the Plasma's torch
connection.
9. Connect compressed air to the regulator and set the air pressure to approxi-
mately 4.5 bar.
10. Connect the plasma to the electrical supply using a suitably rated plug.

SAFETY….cont
2. Keep children away while welding. They are not aware that looking at an arc ray
can cause serious eye damage.
3. Protect other nearby personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-
flammable partition
4.
Bystanders should also wear safety glasses or goggles
.
TOXIC PREVENTION
1. Adequate ventilation. Severe discomfort, illness or death can result from fumes,
vapors, heat, or oxygen enrichment or depletion that welding (or cutting) may
produce. Prevent them with adequate ventilation. NEVER ventilate with oxygen.
2. Lead.. Cadmium.. Zinc.. Mercury. and Beryllium. bearing and similar materials,
when welded (or Cut) may Produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes.
Adequate local exhaust ventilation must be used. Or each person in the area
as well as the operator should wear an air-supplied respirator. For beryllium,
both must be used.
3. Metals coated with or containing materials that emit toxic fumes should not be
heated unless coating is removed from the work surface. The area should be
well ventilated, or the operator should wear an air supplied respirator.
4. Work in a confined space only while it is being ventilated and if necessary, while
wearing an air supplied respirator.
5. Gas leaks in a confined space, should be avoided. Leaking gas in large quanti-
ties can change oxygen concentration dangerously. DO NOT bring gas cylin-
ders into a confined space.
6. Leaving confined space, shut OFF gas supply at source to prevent possible ac-
cumulation of gases in the space if down stream valves are left open. Check to
be sure that the space is safe before re entering it.
7. Vapors from chlorinated solvents can be decomposed by the heat of the
arc (or flame) to form PHOSGENE, a highly toxic gas, and other lung and eye-
irritating products. The ultra violet (radiant) energy of the arc can also decompose
Trichloroethylene and Perchlorethylene. vapors to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or
cut where solvent vapors can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere, or
where the radiant energy can penetrate to atmospheres containing even minute
amounts of Trichloroethylene or perchlorethylene
