USER RESPONSIBILITY
Because design, fabrication, erection and cutting vari-
ables affect the results obtained in applying this type
of information, the serviceability of a product or struc-
ture is the responsibility of the user. Variation such as
plate chemistry, plate surface condition (oil, scale),
plate thickness, preheat, quench, gas type, gas flow
rate and equipment may produce results different than
those expected. Some adjustments to procedures
may be necessary to compensate for unique individ-
ual conditions. Test all procedures duplicating actual
field conditions.
DESIGN FEATURES AND
ADVANTAGES
The TOMAHAWK™ 1000 design makes plasma cut-
ting uncomplicated. This list of design features and
advantages will help you understand the machine's
total capabilities so that you can get maximum use
from your machine.
- Light weight and portable design for industrial use.
- Continuous control, 20 - 60 amps.
- Reliable touch start mechanism for plasma arc initi-
ation.
- Rapid arc restrike for fast cutting of expanded metal.
- Input over voltage protection.
- Bright 3.0 second timed pilot arc.
- Purge section on output dial.
- Air regulator and pressure gage included.
- Internal water separator included.
- Parts-in-Place mechanism to detect proper installa-
tion of consumables and torch.
