IMPORTANT:
A separate air dryer between the air compressor and lter assembly must be installed, usually at the compressor or right before the regulator. This is a customer supplied item. Failure to
install a separate air dryer/lter will greatly decrease consumable life. It can also lead to contamination in the torch head which will cause failure. Moisture in a plasma system is detri-
mental to all parts, including the solenoid and torch head. The included lter/water trap is designed mainly to catch dirt and moisture created during the coupling and uncoupling pro-
cess, or minute amounts of moisture that may escape the separate dryer/lter. Multiple styles of dryers/lters are available in a wide range of prices from a few dollars to several hundred
dollars. A simple, economic desiccant type dryer used in automotive paining is enough to get started. Damage caused by operating the unit without the additional dryer/lter is not
covered under warranty! Never use this plasma cutter with an oiler system, or with a worn air compressor which uses excessive oil. For best results, if installing this unit on an older
system, install a new hose and plumbing components after the air dryer before connecting to the unit.
Drain the air compressor on a daily basis after use.
Do not supply more than 90 psi to the plasma cutter from the compressor. If the air pressure on the front gauge drops too far to maintain a good cut or falls out of spec while cutting,
increase the size of the supply hose/line to the plasma cutter in lieu of increasing supply pressure.
