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
- Flip up red trigger safety
- Trigger is dual-mode. Tapping trigger toggles air supply on/off. Holding trigger starts plasma arc/cut
- After cutting, let air flow for several seconds to cool tip before tapping off.
- DO NOT make contact with tip to workplace, this melts the tip.
- Tips gradually wear out, are consumable.
