OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 8-10 feet or more in any direc-
tion. Have an adequate fire extinguisher avail-
able if needed.
ASSEMBLY
Grounding the tool:
Attach a ground wire of at least 14 Ga. thick-
nesses (not supplied) to the screw on the lower
left of the back of the tool case. Connect the
other end of the wire to an appropriate ground,
such as a steel workbench, steel biding member
or grounding electrode.
ATTACHING THE AIR SUPPLY:
WARNING: Only use dry air as the gas in
this tool. Use of any other gas, such as oxygen,
acetylene, etc. may cause explosion.
1. Attach the water
filter as shown in the
picture.
2. A male quick release
adapter is mounted on
the rear of the tool.
Attach your pressurized
air supply using your
female quick release adapter. Adjust your air
supply deliver 60-80 PSI at 3.5 CFM.
3. During operation, you can regulate air pres-
sure through the Plasma Cutter by adjusting the
knob located on top of the tool.
4. If the tool becomes over pressurized, there is
a pressure relief valve on the top of the unit.
OPERATION
NOTE: Before beginning, please read and
understand all the safety precautions staring
on page 1 and especially the section “Specific
Safety Rules”.
1. Mount the metal to be cut to the metal
weeding-cutting table. It should be mounted so
that the cutting debris falls to the cement floor.
2. Place the Air Plasma Cutter unit no closer than
six feet from the workpiece to be cut.
3. Connect an air hose and coupling (not sup-
plied) from the air supply tank to the Air Input
Coupling at the rear of the unit. See photo on
page 8 right. The air supply must be regulated
to between 60 and 80 PSI as read on the Air
Pressure Gauge. The air supply must be dry. It
is recommended to install a moisture filter (not
included) on the compressor. Do not use an air
oiler.
4. Connect the Torch Cable plug into the twist-
lock connector on the lower left unit front.
Twist to lock.
5. Plug in the Grounding Cable into the Ground
Connector on the lower right of the unit front.
Twist to lock.
6. Securely place the clamping end of the
Grounding Cable Clamp to a part of the work-
piece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or
dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the workpiece
without damaging the cable during cutting.
7. Verify that the Power Switch is in the Off (O)
position, then plug the 220V~ line cord plug
into an appropriate 220V~outlet.
8. Turn the Power Supply Controller to the de-
sired current (15 to 40 amps).
9. Adjust air pressure by turning the Pressure
Regulator Knob on top of the unit (see photo
on page 8). Read pressure on Pressure Gauge.
10. When everything is in place for cutting,
press the Power Switch UP to the ON position.
The Power Light” will illuminate, but the torch
is not yet energized.
11. Orient yourself to one side of the area to be
cut, and move the Welding Helmet Face Shield
(not included, see page 4 item 7) over your eyes.
12. BE CAREFUL! PILOT PLASMA ARC CAN SE-
VERELY INJURE. Once the trigger is squeezed,
the arc will ignite. This unit provides a pilot arc,
so the torch does not need to contact the work-
piece before the cutting arc ignites.
