This plasma cutter has been engineered to
give many years of trouble free service pro-
viding that a few very simple steps are taken
to properly maintain it.
1. Keep the unit clean and free of dust.
Periodically use dry, compressed air to
clean dust deposits from face plate and
vents
2. Check the water trap regularly. Drain
condensation before every use.
3. Keep the torch components free of slag
at all times. A clogged nozzle or elec-
trode will not allow proper airflow and
may damage the torch.
4. Keep consumables in good working con-
dition. Replace consumables as needed.
5. Form a regular habit of checking electri-
cal cable and torch cable. If any damage
is apparent, the cable should be replaced
immediately.
DRAINING CONDENSATION
Keeping a clean, dry air flow to your plasma
cutter is essential for reliable, trouble free
service. By regularly draining condensation
from the water trap you will promote a longer
life for consumable parts.
Note: If your plasma cutter will not be used
for extended periods of time, disconnect it
from the air supply.
1. Slowly turn the knurled drain valve on the
bottom of the water trap housing counter-
clockwise (as viewed from bottom of unit)
until it is fully open.
2. Allow all condensation to drain.
3. Retighten drain valve.
REPLACING THE NOZZLE
During the cutting process, the parts on the
end of the torch are slowly consumed. To
prevent premature consumption of some
torch parts and to prevent damage to the
torch itself, it is necessary to replace the
consumable parts in a timely manner.
If your cuts begin to appear jagged, or the
cutting arc becomes difficult to maintain, it
may be necessary to change the nozzle. A
quick visual inspection will reveal whether a
nozzle is worn. The hole in the tip of a good
nozzle is round. Once the hole takes on an
elongated, or elliptical shape it is necessary
to replace the nozzle. (See Figure 8)
1. After allowing torch to cool, remove the
nozzle cap from the torch by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Remove the worn nozzle.
3. Place new nozzle onto electrode.
4. Replace nozzle cap by firmly turning it
clockwise onto torch assembly (refer to
Figure 9).
