The air supply must be dry. It is recommended to install a moisture filter (not included) on the compressor. Do not use an air oiler. 4. Connect the Torch Cable (47) plug into the twist-lock connector on the unit front.Twist to lock. See photo on page 9, bottom. 5. Plug in the Grounding Cable (45) into the Ground Cable Quick Coupler. Twist to lock. 6. Securely place the clamping end of the Grounding Cable Clamp (45) to a part of the workpiece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the workpiece without damaging the cable during cutting. 7. Verify that the Power Switch (30) is in the Off (O) position, then plug the 220 VAC line cord plug into a 230 VAC, 40 amp outlet. 8. Turn the Current Adjustment Knob (48) to the desired current (15 to 40 amps). SKU 92652 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 Page 10 Maximum current is required to cut 1/2 inch steel. Maximum current is required to cut 1/2 inch steel. . Press up on the Air Switch (49) to turn on air without activating the Torch Handle. Adjust air pressure by turning the knob on the rear Air Regulator (43). Read pressure on Pressure Gauge (5). 10. When everything is in place for cutting, press the Power Switch to the On (I) position. The green Power Indicator lights, but the Torch (47) is not energized yet. 11. Orient yourself to one side of the area to be cut, and hold the Arc Shaded Face Shield (not included) over your eyes. 12. Squeeze (and hold) the Torch Handle Trigger (2A) to energize the Torch Electrode (4A). The air output is delayed a few seconds to enable a proper arc to begin. Warning:The Torch handle is now energized. Be careful not to touch anything else with the Torch Body (3A) except the workpiece to be cut. Warning: Never look at the ignited arc without ANSI approved, arc shaded, eye protection in a full face shield. Permanent eye damage or blindness can occur. Skin burns can occur. Never breath arc fumes. 13. Bring the Electrode (4A) of the Torch Body (3A) close enough to the starting point of the cut to create an arc.The yellow Cutter Indicator lights. 14. Lightly tap the Torch Electrode (4A) into the cutting surface to ignite the arc, then pull back slightly. If the arc is not started within two seconds, the unit goes into standby mode. Release the Trigger once and squeeze to reset to arc mode. 15. Slowly move the Torch Handle (1A) at a slight angle along the cutting line with the Torch tip trailing. The air causes the molten metal to fall away from the workpiece being cut. If proper cutting is not achieved, adjust the Current Adjustment Knob (48) to a higher level, and/ or increase air flow. To increase air flow, press the Power Switch (30) to the Off (O) position, then adjust the air pressure at the Air Regulator (43). The air will continue to come out of the Torch Handle (1A) for 30 seconds once the trigger is released. Note: If too much current is drawn from the Plasma Cutter (i.e., short circuit), the Thermal Switch, an overload protector, will activate and the red Overheat indicator will light.The Plasma Cutter will turn off until it cools down. It will automatically reset. Press Trigger (2A) to begin cutting again. 16. When finished cutting: A. Release the Torch handle trigger and lift the Torch handle from the workpiece, B. press the Power Switch (30) to the Off (O) position, C. set the Torch handle down on the metal workbench, D. turn the air supply off, E. unplug the line cord from the electrical outlet. SKU 92652 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 Page 11 G WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch (30) of the Plasma Cutter is in its “OFF” position and that the tool is unplugged from the electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. 1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Air Plasma Cutter. Check for loose cable connections, misalignment or binding of the fan, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. 2. Periodically recheck all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. 3. Periodically blow the dust from the cooling vents with compressed air. 4. Verify that the cooling fan is operational before cutting. 5. If an odd smell comes from the unit during operation, stop all use. Have the Air Plasma Cutter inspected and repaired by a qualified service technician. 6. Store the welder and accessories in a clean and dry location. 7. Periodically disassemble and clean the Torch Head components with steel wool. Replace burnt, cracked, distorted, or coated components. Refer to the assembly drawing on page 14. 8. To gain access to the internal components of the unit, remove six screws from each Panel (35), and two side screws from the Cover (27). Any repairs should be completed by a qualified technician. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFU...
