Regular Maintenance
• Clean the dust from the equipment with compressed air.
If there is too much dust clean immediately. Under normal
conditions, clean once yearly. If the equipment is exposed
to too much dust, cleansing shall be carried out every
three months.
• Together with cleansing make a checkup to assure there
are no loose components or parts in the equipment.
• Keep the plasma cutter cables in good repair.
• Connections shall be checked before each use.
Electrode Replacement
1
. The cutter electrode has a useful life ideal to cut up to
66 ft if used in the maximum capacity.
2
. When the plasma arc flame is showing a greenish tone,
means the electrode is about to end its useful life and it is
advisable to replace it.
3
. As a better reference, the electrode shows an insert in
the center of the tip that wears out with use generating an
orifice when its depth is larger than 0,031”
When using electrodes whose insert has a
larger depth, will cause overheating in the torch and will
damage it completely.
NOTE
Storage
• If the equipment is going to be stored for a long period
of time, it shall be kept in a dry and well ventilated place to
prevent the entrance moist and generate oxide or toxic
gases. Storage temperature varies from -13 °F a 131 °F
and relative humidity shall not be over 90%.
