tO preVent SeriOuS inJury anD DeatH FrOM eXpLOSiOn:
use only clean, dry, regulated, oil-free, compressed air or nitrogen gas with this plasma cutter.
Do not use oxygen, acetylene, carbon dioxide, combustible gases,
or any other bottled gas as a power source for this plasma cutter.
1�
Use a compressor that is capable of
supplying 4�5 CFM @ 80 PSI�
2�
Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,
dryer, in‑line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for
best service�
an in-line shutoff ball valve is an
important safety device because it controls
the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured.
the shutoff valve should be a ball valve
because it can be closed quickly.
note: in humid locations, multiple dryers may need
to be incorporated to keep the air dry. MOiSture
in air SuppLy May cauSe SHOrteneD
cOMpOnent LiFe anD pOOr cut QuaLity.
note: Do not use an oiler system with this
plasma cutter. the oil will mix with the air
being propelled, causing poor results.
3�
Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet�
Connect the air hose to the Air Inlet on the back
of the Plasma Cutter� Other components, such
as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make
operation more efficient, but are not required�
note: Air flow, and therefore Plasma Cutter
performance, can be hindered by undersized air
supply components�
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working�
Setting compressor's air pressure
1�
Set the Plasma Cutter’s
power
Switch to the OFF position�
2�
Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off�
3�
Set the air compressor’s output air
pressure regulator between
90 - 120
pSi� Adjust the pressure gradually, while
observing the air pressure gauge�
4�
Inspect the air connections for leaks�
Repair any leaks found�
Setting plasma cutter's air pressure
1�
Plug in the Plasm Cutter, set the
power Switch
to the
On position and set the air Switch to
Set air� There will be constant air flow�
2�
Pull up on the
air pressure regulator
and set between
60 - 80 pSi, as observed
on the
air pressure Gauge.
3�
teSt air FLOW:
WarninG! Make sure torch and
cutting tip are completely cool.
a� Hold Air Flowmeter firmly against end
of Cutting Tip, pointing Torch and Air
Flowmeter straight up�
See Figure B.
b� The ball should float in the marked area on the
meter� If not, adjust air pressure, as needed,
while observing the Air Pressure Gauge�
4�
iMpOrtant! After testing, set air Switch
to cut to allow normal operation�
