MAKING A PIPE CUT
To make a pipe cut:

2. Program the desired cut. (Refer to the programming sections in this manual).
EXAMPLE: Press C for “CUT” select # 0-9
Press A, Select type of cut from pg 16-17

Program is complete
3. Press the STOP / PAUSE button and use the MANUAL JOG to move the torch to the starting point.
4. Press the RESET button to fix the starting point.
5. For oxy-fuel, turn on and ignite the pre-heat gasses, and wait until proper preheat is achieved to start
the cut. Press the START / RESUME button, and the solenoid for cutting oxygen or plasma trigger is
turned on and the machine starts the cut (after the delay which has been set for plasma).
NOTE: (TYPE 4, MITER)
If a cutback dimension has been entered, the machine will make one cut, shut off the gas or arc,
back up for the given distance, and rotate 180 degrees. The machine will pause until the START /
RESUME button is pressed again, and them repeat the same cut but rotated 180 degrees from the
first cut.
To make a dry run without cutting:
1. Press the STOP / PAUSE button and hold it down.
2. Press the START / RESUME button and hold it down.
3. Release the STOP / PAUSE button quickly, after step two above.
4. Release the START / RESUME button.
The machine will move along the programmed cut without turning on the contacts for plasma, or the
cutting solenoid.
