Out of Service!
This tool has been up on the pallet racking near the metal area for some years, as legends say that the torch is worn out and/or damaged, and this machine's power requirements are incompatible with the bay supply / typical usage.
Usage Notes
- Cuts metal via plasma arc
- Eye protection must be worn at all times, (welding helmet or oxy/ace goggles suffice)
- Leather gloves/sleeves required
- Place workpiece on a raised surface, do not cut flush against floor or workbench
- Attach grounding clamp, ensure good contact (no paint)
- Set cutting power & air pressure according to workpiece thickness
- NEVER cut without air supply at sufficient pressure, requires airflow for cooling
- DO NOT make contact with tip to workplace, this melts the tip.
- Tips gradually wear out, are consumable.
Specs
- 3ph input
- 20-90A output
- Requires high volume compressed air supply
