    • Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or combustible internal structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an approved method for eliminating the hazard.
    • Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
    • After welding or cutting, make a thorough examination for evidence of fire. Be aware that easily visible smoke or flame may not be present for some time after the fire has started. Do not weld or cut in atmospheres containing dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
    • Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent accumulation of flammable gases, vapors, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that has held an unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents, when heated, can produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean and purge containers before applying heat. Vent closed containers, including castings, before preheating, welding, or cutting.
    • Only use compressed air or nitrogen to operate the Plasma Cutter. Never use other compressed gases. Don’t exceed maximum PSI for this product as stated on the specification table on page 5.
  8. IN HALATIATON HAZARD: Welding and Cutting Produce TOXIC FUMES.

    • Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes are:
    • Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease
    • Heart disease
    • Ulcers
    • Damage to the reproductive organs
    • Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
    • Kidney damage
    • Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia
    • Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.
  9. Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases.

    • Always keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
    • Where ventilation is questionable, have a qualified technician take an air sampling to determine the need for corrective measures. Use mechanical ventilation to improve air quality. If engineering controls are not feasible, use an approved respirator.
    • Work in a confined area only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
    • Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) for various fumes and gases.
    • Follow the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommendations for Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for fumes and gases.
    • Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or Environmental Services check the operation and air quality and make recommendations for the specific welding or cutting situation.
  10. Keep hoses away from welding/cutting area.

    • Examine all hoses and cables for cuts, burns, or worn areas before each use. If any damaged areas are found, replace the hoses or cables immediately.
  11. Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a cart, wall, or post, to prevent them from falling. All cylinders should be used and stored in an upright position. Never drop or strike a cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been dented. Cylinder caps should be used when moving or storing cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in specified areas and clearly marked “empty.”

  12. Never use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet connector, or cylinder valves.

  13. Use only supplied Torch on this Plasma Cutter. Using components from other systems may cause personal injury and damage components within.

    • USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 50 foot extension cord must be at least
  14. gauge in diameter, and an 100 foot extension cord must be at least 10 gauge in diameter.

    • If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
  15. Avoid tipping. Do not place on an unstable or tilted surface.

  16. Do not use for pipe thawing.

  17. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.

  18. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

  19. USE RIGHT Plasma Cutter. Don’t force Plasma Cutter or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

Functions

Power Plug

  1. A 120 VAC, 20 A plug is wired into this item.
  2. This item includes a 120 VAC, 15 A Plug Adapter to use unit on a 120 VAC, 15 A circuit.
Air Supply

DANGER

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. 1. Use a compressor that is capable of supplying 5 CFM @ 70 –110 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 the 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. Verify that the air compressor’s output air pressure regulator is between 70 –110 PSI.
  4. Inspect the air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks found.

Preparation and Work Area

WARNING! Prevent eye serious injury and burns. Wearing personal protective equipment reduces the risk of serious injury.

  1. Wear an ANSI-approved welding helmet featuring at least a number 10 shade lens rating.
    Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using this product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.
    Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents,
    or any flammable substances. Wear dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.
    Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and cutting procedures.
    Wear fire resistant ear plugs or ear
    muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
    Do not breathe arc fumes. Use
    natural or forced air ventilation and wear
    a NIOSH-approved respirator.

    • WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area.
  2. Remove or make safe all combustible
    materials for a radius of 35 feet (10 meters) around the work area. Use a fire resistant material to cover or block all open doorways, windows, cracks, and other openings.
    Enclose the work area with portable fire-resistant screens. Protect combustible walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire- resistant covers.

  3. The floor and surrounding area must not be flammable. A clean concrete floor is recommended.

    • The cutting process will eject molten metal slag onto the floor, and it will scatter for 8-10 feet or more in all directions.
  4. Keep multiple ABC-type fire extinguishers near work area.

  5. Place the Plasma Cutter on a sturdy, level surface at least six feet from the work area. Allow at least 18″ around all sides of the Plasma Cutter for air flow.

  6. Put the workpiece on a sturdy metal work table that is open below the cutting area. Molten slag will be blown through the workpiece, and must be able to fall away freely. Mount the workpiece to be cut to the work table so that the cutting debris falls to the concrete floor.

  7. Set up Air Supply according to instructions on page 7.

  8. Verify that the Power Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the Plasma Cutter:

    • a. into an appropriate 120 VAC outlet rated to at least 20 amps to limit nuisance circuit breaker tripping, or b. into an appropriate 120 VAC outlet rated to at least 15 amps, connecting the included 15 A Plug Adapter to the end of the Power Cord.
  9. PLASMA CUTTING TIPS:

  • Using a Plasma Cutter is a skill that requires time and effort to do well.
  • a. Practice striking and maintaining an arc on scrap work pieces before beginning work.
  • This will help determine the best settings for the Plasma Cutter for the material at hand.
  • b. All metals that conduct electricity can be cut. See Cutting Capacity on page 5 for thickness capabilities. Very thin or very thick metals are more difficult to cut cleanly.
  • c. Set the air pressure between 70 and 110 PSI. Increased air pressure will increase plasma speed and cutting pressure. Air pressure and amperage should be adjusted in tandem – air pressure needs to increase as amperage increases. However, low amperage cuts will require less air pressure for a more stable cut.
  • d. Generally start with a mid-range amperage setting and adjust up or down from there. Increased amperage will increase cutting heat. This is needed with thicker and harder metals. However, increased amperage will reduce Duty Cycle time. (See page10.)
  • e. Move the Torch more slowly for thicker and harder metals, and more quickly for thin or soft metals. Keep the Torch moving while cutting.

thicker Material| High amps

More air pressure

thinner Material| Low amps

Less air pressure

Basic Operation

  • PLASMA ARC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY,  INCLUDING SEVERE CUTS, BURNS, PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE, AND BLINDNESS! Once the trigger is squeezed, the arc will ignite IMMEDIATELY.
  • The Torch does not need to contact the workpiece before the pilot arc ignites.
  • Do not look at the Plasma Arc without an ANSI-approved welding helmet featuring at least a number 10 shade lens rating.
  1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Plasma Cutter. Check for:

    • loose hardware
    • damaged cord/electrical wiring
    • cooling fan operation
    • cracked or broken parts
    • any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
    • Have a qualified technician correct any problems before operation.
  2. MAINTAIN TORCH COMPONENTS BEFORE EVERY USE AND AFTER EVERY HOUR OF OPERATION.

    • Make sure Torch is completely cool, then:
    • a. Disassemble Torch.
    • b. Inspect the Cutting Tip.
    • Replace if interior is damaged, or if opening is enlarged or gouged.
    • Clean inside as needed with steel wool, (remove any pieces of steel wool afterwards).
    • c. Inspect the Electrode. Replace if pitted 1/16″ or more or if misshapen.
    • IMMEDIATELY REPLACE WORN COMPONENTS.
    • d. Make sure all other internal torch components are undamaged, clean, and free of debris.
    • e.   NOTICE: Assemble Electrode just snug using a wrench, but do not overtighten.
    • f. Insert the Cutting Tip into the torch.
    • g. Assemble the Retaining Cup tightly.
    • DO NOT USE WITH WORN COMPONENTS. USING WORN COMPONENTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND DAMAGE THE PLASMA CUTTER.
    • Duty Cycle
    • Duty Cycle is the equipment specification which defines the number of minutes within a 10 minute period that a piece of equipment can safely operate.
    • When using a 120V 15A circuit, this Plasma Cutter has a 60% duty cycle at 16 amps,
    • which means that it may be used only 6 minutes at 16 amps out of any 10 minute period, and must be rested the remaining 4 minutes.
    • When using a 120V 20A circuit, this Plasma Cutter has a 35% duty cycle at 20 amps, which means that it may be used only 3.5 minutes at 20 amps out of any 10 minute period, and must be rested the remaining 6.5 minutes.
    • NOTICE: Failure to follow the duty cycle limitations of this Plasma Cutter can easily damage this equipment, and will void the warranty.
  3. Securely attach the Ground Clamp to a part of the workpiece or metal work table that is clean, dry, and free from paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the planned cut without exposing the Clamp to damage.

  4. When everything is in place for cutting, set the Power Switch to the ON position. The green Power Light will illuminate, but the Torch is not yet energized.

  5. Orient yourself to one side of the cutting area, and move the Welding Helmet (sold separately) over your eyes.

  6. Position Torch near workpiece at start of cut. Keep Cutting Tip at a 90º angle to workpiece, and in contact with the workpiece.

  7. Do not press Trigger until Torch is in position to start cutting. Starting at the edge of the workpiece, press and hold the Trigger to strike the pilot arc. When the arc ignites, start slowly moving the Torch along the cut line.

  8. Slowly move the Torch along the cutting line with the Cutting Tip trailing.
    Note: Keep the Torch Cutting Tip pointed straight (90º) into the workpiece and in contact with the surface throughout cut. Consistent workpiece contact and cutting speed are critical. Sparks should pass through the workpiece at a slight angle.

  9. If sparks start shooting up from the workpiece instead of passing through, the Torch is being moved too quickly so the cut is not being made completely. Move the Torch along the workpiece more slowly to cut completely.

  10. If sparks pass straight down through bottom of workpiece instead of at a slight angle, the Torch is being moved too slowly. This could cause the arc to extinguish. Move the Torch a little faster.

    • Note: If the Plasma Cutter suddenly shuts off, check:
    • a. Torch contact with workpiece.
    • b. poor workpiece grounding.
    • c. dirty/painted workpiece.
    • d. Thermal Overload tripping. (See number 4 on)
  11. Pause briefly at end of cut.

  12. Release the Trigger. The air will continue to come out of the Torch for a few seconds once the Trigger is released to cool off the Torch components.

  13. When finished cutting:

    • a. Lift the Torch from the workpiece and set down on a cool part of the metal work table.
    • b. Wait 10 minutes for the Plasma Cutter to cool down with the Power Switch ON so the fan continues to operate.
    • c. Press the Power Switch to the OFF position.
    • d. Turn the air supply off and disconnect air lines.
    • e. Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
