TROUBleShOOTING
The cause of control malfunctions can be found by
referring to the sequence of operations and electrical
schematic diagram and checking the various compo-
nents. A volt-ohmmeter will be necessary for some of
these checks.
Voltages in plasma cutting equipment are high enough
to cause serious injury or possibly death. Be particu-
larly careful around equipment when the covers are
removed.
NOTE
Before checking voltages in the circuit, disconnect the power
from the high frequency generator to avoid damaging your
voltmeter.

eleCTRIC ShOCK CAN KIll! Be sure that all primary
power to the machine has been externally disconnected.
Open the line (wall) disconnect switch or circuit breaker
before attempting inspection or work inside of the power
source.
Check the problem against the symptoms in the following
troubleshooting guide. The remedy may be quite simple. If
the cause cannot be quickly located, shut off the input power,
open up the unit, and perform a simple visual inspection
of all the components and wiring. Check for secure termi-
