OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7 Position Torch near workpiece at start of cut. Keep Cutting Tip at a 90º angle to workpiece, and
at 1/16" distance from workpiece.
8 Do not squeeze trigger until torch is in position to start cutting.
Starting at the edge of the workpiece, squeeze and hold the Trigger to strike the pilot arc. When
the arc ignites, start slowly moving the Torch along your cut line.
9. Slowly move the Torch along the cutting line with the Cutting Tip trailing.
Note: Keep the Torch Cutting Tip pointed straight (90º) into the workpiece 1/16" from the surface.
Consistent workpiece distance and cutting speed are critical. Sparks should pass through the
workpiece at a slight angle.
10 If sparks start shooting up from the workpiece instead of passing through, the Torch is being
moved too quickly so the cut is not being made completely. Move the Torch along the workpiece more
slowly to cut completely.
11 If sparks pass straight down through bottom of workpiece instead of at a slight angle, the Torch is
being moved too slowly. This could cause the arc to extinguish. Move the Torch a little faster.
Note: If the plasma cutter suddenly shuts off, check:
a. torch distance from workpiece.
b. poor workpiece grounding.
c. dirty/painted workpiece.
d. circuit Breaker & power Switch tripping.
e. thermal Overload tripping.
12 Pause briefly at end of cutting.
