3.4 COMMON CUTTING PROBLEMS
Listed below are common cutting problems followed by
the probable cause of each. If problems are determined
to be caused by the PCM-1125, refer to the maintenance
section of this manual. If the problem is not corrected
after referring to the maintenance section, contact your
ESAB distributor.
A. Insufficient Penetration.
1. Current too low.
2. Cutting speed too fast.
3. Damaged cutting nozzle.
4. Improper air pressure.
5. Low air flow rate.
B. Main Arc Extinguishes.
1. Cutting speed too slow.
2. Worn electrode.
C. Dross Formation. (In some materials and thick-
nesses, it may be impossible to get dross-free cuts.)
1. Current too low.
2. Cutting speed too fast or too slow.
3. Improper air pressure.
4. Faulty nozzle or electrode.

tion.
G. Main Arc Does Not Strike.
