Model: Plasma Torch
• Air-cooled torch for plasma arc cutting (PAC)
• Parts-In-Place (PIP) safety features require all parts to be in place prior to operation,
• Safety trigger guard
• 35% Duty Cycle
• Cutting Capacity, see below
In the event that pilot arc is not transferred between the plasma torch (electrode) and the work piece
within three seconds of pilot arc start, the cycle automatically stops (pilot arc stops) and the post flow air
continues to run cooling the torch.

RECOMMENDED CAPACITY
SEVERANCE CAPACITY
• Optimal system performance
• Cut speeds of at least 10 inches per minute IPM
• Ideal operating range for excellent cut quality
• Rated with new consumables.
• Top end of system capabilities
• Intended for occasional severance
requirements; where a lower degree of
cut quality is acceptable
• Slower cut speeds
DISCONNECT PRIMARY POWER AT THE SOURCE AND WAIT FOR THE TORCH
TO COOL BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE TORCH OR TORCH LEADS.
PILOT ARC: STARTING THE ARC
Upon squeezing the trigger there is a 1.5 second delay to purge the torch air system. After 1.5 seconds
the pilot arc ignites, immediately transfer the arc to the work piece and begin the cut. If you fail to
transfer the arc within three seconds the pilot arc stop and it will be necessary to release and then
squeeze the trigger again to restart the sequence. Fig. A shows a pilot arc prior to transferring the arc
to the work piece.
NOTE:
Repeated pilot arc starts without cutting is not recommended and will shorten
the life of consumable torch parts. Always keep in mind that the Pilot arc is designed to transfer the arc
to the work piece and not for numerous starts without cutting.
