IMPORTANT!
Be CERTAIN to shut off the Plasma Cutter, and disconnect it from power and air before adjusting, cleaning, or
repairing the unit. A technician should discharge all capacitors before performing any internal procedures.
If the steps above do not solve the problem or if the repairs involved are too complex,
contact a qualified technician.
Amperage setting too high; cut at lowest
setting possible for the metal being cut.
FAST NOZZLE WEAR
OR
EXCESSIVE SLAG FORMATION
Take into account the thickness
and type of metal to be cut before
starting. Thinner materials
require lower amp settings.

Disconnect the Torch Cables.
Disassemble the torch assembly
and inspect all internal components,
as explained on page 11.
Replace any damaged or
missing components and
reassemble carefully, following
the directions on pages 6-11.

Air supply pressure may be inadequate:
a. Verify that the compressor is
delivering at least 3.5 CFM @ 80 PSI.
b. Set Regulator on the unit
to at least 60 PSI.
These two problems have similar causes
and will often appear simultaneously.
The same diagnostic procedures
and remedies apply to both.
