Operating the PT60 Torch with Stand Off Guide
The standoff guide is placed on the cutting surface. This maintains an
optimal 1/8" standoff distance between the plasma cutting tip and the work, this
is especially suitable if your hands are unsteady, or if you wish to use a straight
edge guide or pattern guide. It also helps extend
consumables’ life.
1.
Wear your safety gear. Generally, you want the same type of protective gear when
Welding and cutting, plasma has high arc voltage if the job or bench is wet and you place
your hand or arm on it you can become part of the circuit and
receive a shock. Be sure you are wearing insulated shoes and
gloves, full length pants and covered shoes, wear eyes
protection(a #5 shade is the minimum eyes protection) with
other shade required depending on amperage a face shield is
also recommended.
2.
Connect the earth clamp securely to the work piece or the work bench.
3.
place and hold the torch vertical at the edge of the plate.
4.
Pull the trigger to energize the pilot arc. The cutting arc will start when the nozzle is
moved closer to the edge of the work piece. When the cutting arc has cut through the
edge of the plate, start moving evenly in the direction you wish to cut.
5.
Correct amperage and travel speed are important and relevant to material thickness and
are correct when sparks are exiting from the work piece. If sparks are spraying up from
the work piece, there is insufficient amps selected or the travel speed is too fast.
6.
To finish cutting, release the torch switch. The air flow will continue for 20 seconds to cool
the torch head.
