Operating the Plasma Cutter

 

1.

 

Adjust the air pressure on your air compressor to 60 – 65 psi for the machine.

 

 

 

2.

 

Bring the torch tip into direct contact with your work piece edge or, for thicker 
cutting, over a pre-drilled pilot hole. Press the button on the torch to start cutting. 

 

3.

 

Ensure that the cutting current is appropriate and adequate for the machine based 
on

 

the rated thickness of the cutter. 

 

 
 

Note: Below is the consumable assembly on the torch head (Figure 3.1).
