If you are in Australia and the
following checks do not identify the
fault condition, the equipment should
be returned to a WIA Service agent.
Phone 1300 300 884 for details of
your nearest service agent.
No Welding Current
Check:
1 Check that mains supply is available at
the Plasma Cutter power source. At least
one of the display panel lights should
be on. If not, test outlet using a known
working appliance.
2 Check that the torch and work leads are
connected securely to the output sockets
at the front of the machine.
3 Check for continuity of the work lead,
work clamp. Loose connections can
prevent proper flow of the cutting
current and also make starting difficult.
4 Over temperature light on. The Plasma
cutter power source incorporates an in
built protection device which will operate
if the unit is overloaded. In this event, the
machine will not deliver welding current,
and the Over Temperature light will be
on. Leave the machine energised with
the fan running to achieve the maximum
cooling rate.
5 Check the retaining cup is screwed on
tight. When the retaining cup is on tight
the light will be on when trigger pressed
(refer 7 Controls item 3).
6 Check if air pressure light is on (refer
7 controls item 4). If not then there is a
problem with the air supply.
Poor Cut Performance
1 The Cutmatic 45 has power factor
correction which will compensate for
fluctuating main supply. however there
is a limit to how much compensation can
be made. Check the mains voltage
supply. Long extension cords can cause
low voltage.
2 When operating on generators the power
factor correction PFC will smooth out the
peak current. however there is a limit to
how much the PFC can do, check
generator size is adequate.
If you are in New Zealand and the
following checks do not identify
the fault condition, the equipment
should be returned to the original
place of purchase with proof of
purchase, or contact Weldwell on
