gas inlet pressures must be between 105 - 135 psi (7.2 - 9.2 bar) for all material thickness.

Refer to LCD display Figure 4-3.

Copper plate sometimes comes with a protective plastic film. Remove film prior to cutting.
* Slightly increasing the test preflow O

flowrates may increase piercing capability on the thicker materials listed
above. However, increasing the preflow flowrates too much may affect plasma starting reliability (misfiring).
** Torch standoff tolerances are ± 0.005 inch (± 0.125 mm). When using a THC, tolerances are ± 1 volt.
*** Measured from tips of shield adapter 020949.
Counter clockwise (CCW) consumables are available for mirror image cutting. Refer to Section 6, Parts List.
If problems occur with the cutting process, and the flowrates are suspect, refer to Section 5, Maintenance, Gas System Back
Pressure Checks.
