OPERATION 

 

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE SECITON BEFORE OPERATING YOUR 
MACHINE.  ONLY  QUILIFIED  PERSONNEL  SHOULD  OPERATE  THIS  EQUIPMENT. 
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL. 

 

 

 

1)

 

Connect up the air compressor using air filter and regulator as 

Installation

 indicates. 

2)

 

Install LT3200 plasma cutting torch and ground cable & clamp as 

Installation 

indicates, turn the power ON. 

3)

 

Adjust the air pressure and make it is adequate to machine, open the valve of pressed air. 
The recommended air pressure is 0.6~0.75Mpa, gas flow is 3.0scfm @70psi.   
Note that if lower the pressure too much, the consumables damage 

4)

 

Adjust output current by “Current Adjust Knob”. The output current can be adjusted from 12A to current level 
set by the user. The maximum current is 32A. 

5)

 

Press and hold the trigger to make a cut. 
Position  torch  tip  slightly  above  work-piece, press torch  switch  and  lower  torch  tip  toward  work-piece until 
contact is made and cutting arc is established. After cutting arc is established, move the torch in the desired 
direction keeping the torch tip slightly angled, maintaining contact with the work-piece. 
Avoid  moving  too  fast  as  would  be  indicated  by  sparks  radiating  from  the  topside of  work-piece. Move  the 
torch just fast enough to maintain sparks concentration at the underside of the work-piece and making sure the 
material is completely cut through before moving on. Adjust drag speed as desired/required 

 
 

 

ELECTRIC SHOCK

 

can be fatal

 

 

 

Have an electrician install and service this equipment.   

 

Turn the input power off at the fuse box, disconnect or unplug supply lines and allow machine to sit 
for  five  minutes  minimum  to  allow  the  power  capacitors  to  discharge  before  working  inside  this 
equipment. 

 

Do  not  touch electrically  hot parts.  Turn  the  input  power  OFF  and unplug  the  machine  from  the 
receptacle before working on this equipment.     

 

 
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous 

 

Keep your head out of fumes.   

 

Use ventilation or exhaust to remove fumes from breathing zone.

 

 

 

 

CUTTING SPARKS can cause fires or explosions   

 

Keep flammable material away.   

 

Do not weld, cut or gouge on containers that have held combustibles. 
   

 
 

 

ARC RAYS can burn 

 

Wear eye, ear and body protection.
