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.

Specs

  • 120V, 20A
  • Cuts max of 3/16" steel continuously. Will cut 1/2" very slowly, 25% duty cycle or the breaker will repeatedly blow.
