SAFETY (Continued) Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The plasma nozzle and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
SAFETY (Continued) • approved covers if unable to be moved from the welding area. • Do not Plasma Cut closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly prepared according to the required Safety Standards to vapors and substances are totally removed, these can cause an explosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
CAUTION 1. Working Environment. 2. Safety Tips. 1.1 The environment in which this welding equipment is installed must be free of grinding dust, corrosive ials etc, and at no more than maximum of 80% humidity. 1.2 When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light, rain water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -14°F to +104°F.. 1.3 Keep this equipment 1ft distant from the wall. 1.4 Ensure the working environment is well ventilated. 2.
AIR PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The gas can be air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen. etc. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter. We part of the circuit, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to the work.

BUILT TO GET THE JOB DONE especially suitable if your hands are unsteady, or if you wish to use a straight edge guide or pattern guide. It also helps extend tip life. 1) Wear your safety gear. Generally you want the same type of protective gear as when welding.
BUILT TO GET THE JOB DONE ● Amperage Standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material the more amperage required. On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf. The kerf is the width of the cut material that is removed during cutting. ● Speed Amperage and speed are critical to producing a good quality cut.
BUILT TO GET THE JOB DONE ● Air pressure and volume Air pressure, flow rate and air quality are critical to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span. The required air pressure and volume can vary from model to model and the manufacturer will provide the specs.
BUILT TO GET THE JOB DONE ● Piercing Hold the torch at an angle to the work piece, pull the trigger to start the arc and slowly rotate it to an upright position. When sparks are exiting from the bottom of the work piece, the arc has pierced through the material. When the pierce is complete, proceed with cutting. This superheated air must be treated with extreme caution.
