The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text. Indicates statements not related to personal injury. Indicates special instructions. Wear safety glasses with side shields. Cutting processes cause flying pieces of metal and sparks. Wear a face shield. Static electricity can damage parts on circuit boards. Put on grounded wrist strap before touching circuit board. Beware of electric shock from the cutting torch or wiring. Touching the cutting torch while in contact with the work or ground can cause electric shock. Always wear dry gloves. Keep all panels and covers closed. Cutting sparks can cause fire or explosion. Move flammables away. Do not cut on closed tanks or barrels they can explode. Clean tanks or barrels properly. Have only trained and qualified persons install, operate, or service this unit. Call your distributor if you do not understand the directions. For CUTTING SAFETY and EMF information, read power source Manual. Beware of moving parts. Keep guards and panels in place, covers closed, and hands away from moving parts. Arc rays can burn eyes and skin wear face protection (helmet or face shield) with correct shade of filter, and cover exposed skin with nonflammable clothing. Hot parts can cause burns. Cutting makes parts very hot let them cool before touching. Allow cooling period. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to cut again. Follow rated duty cycle. Breathing cutting fumes and gases can harm your health. Cutting requires good ventilation. If ventilation is impossible, such as when cutting in a confined space, use an air-supplied respirator. The plasma arc can cause injury. The intense heat of the arc or pilot arc can cause serious burns. Keep away from the torch tip when the trigger is pressed. Do not grip material near the cutting path. Prolonged noise from some cutting applications can damage hearing. Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level is high.. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 0 minutes that unit can cut at rated load without overheating. NOTICE Exceeding duty cycle can damage power source and torch and void warranty.

. Sequence Of Operation For Ampere Torch EXAMPLE Of Cutting Operation Moisture from the compressor will form in the air line and at the torch. It will be normal to sometimes see moisture come out the end of the torch.! The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. For shielded cutting, place drag shield on edge of metal. For non-shielded cutting (non-ce only), use /8 in (. mm) standoff distance (dragging tip will reduce tip life). Raise trigger lock and press trigger. Pilot arc starts. After cutting arc starts, slowly start moving torch across metal. Adjust torch speed so sparks go thru metal and out bottom of cut. Pause briefly at end of cut before releasing trigger. Postflow continues for approx. seconds after releasing trigger; cutting arc can be instantly restarted during postflow by raising trigger lock and pressing trigger. 80 00-A OM-9 Page 0
. Sequence Of Operation For Ampere Torch EXAMPLE Of Cutting Operation! The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. Place tip on work for drag cutting. For maximum cutting speed and tip life, use a standoff distance of / in (. mm) to /8 in (. mm). Dragging tip will reduce tip life. Raise trigger lock and press trigger. Pilot arc starts. After cutting arc starts, slowly start moving torch across metal. Adjust torch speed so sparks go thru metal and out bottom of cut. Pause briefly at end of cut before releasing trigger. Postflow continues for 0 seconds after releasing trigger; cutting arc can be instantly restarted during postflow by raising trigger lock and pressing trigger. Ref. 80 88 OM-9 Page
. Sequence Of Operation For, 0, 0,, 80, And 00 Ampere Torches! Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for wear before cutting or whenever cutting speed has been significantly reduced (see Section ). Do not operate torch without a tip or electrode in place. NOTICE Do not clean torch by hitting it against a hard surface. Hitting hard surfaces can damage torch parts and stop proper operation. NOTICE Having pilot arc turn On and Off repeatedly, such as during the cutting of chain fence, will shorten tip, electrode and torch life. Put a continuous piece of sheet metal under the fence to prevent pilot arc from cycling On and Off. Avoid constant starting and restarting of arc. Install & Connect Equipment Put On Personal Safety Equipment Check Torch Tip, Electrode, And Retaining Cup Check Gas/Air Pressure Set Controls Turn On Power Source Begin Cutting EXAMPLE Of Cutting Operation! The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. For ampere torch, place tip on edge of metal. For 0, 0, 80 and 00 ampere hand-held torches, place drag shield on edge of metal, or allow correct standoff distance approximately /8 in (. mm). Press trigger. Pilot arc starts. After cutting arc starts, slowly start moving torch across metal. Adjust torch speed so sparks go thru metal and out bottom of cut. Pause briefly at end of cut before releasing trigger. Postflow continues for approx. 0 to 0 seconds after releasing trigger; cutting arc can be instantly restarted during postflow by pressing trigger. 98-A OM-9 Page
. Routine Maintenance! Turn Off power source and disconnect input power plug before maintaining. ampere torch is shown. Maintenance schedule for 0 and 80 ampere torches is the same. = Check = Change = Clean = Replace * To be done by Factory Authorized Service Agent Reference Each Use Check Gas/Air Pressure Torch Tip, Electrode, And Shield Cup Every Week Shield Cup Shutdown System Every Months Cracked s Gas/Air Hose Torch Body, Cable Tape Torn Outer Covering. Shield Cup Shutdown System Power source Power switch must be reset whenever cup shutdown system is activated. Always turn Off power source when changing or checking consumables. Torch Shield Cup Turn Power On and loosen shield cup. If shutdown system works properly, Ready light on power source goes off and Cup light comes on. If not, turn power Off and check for proper gas/air pressure, blocked or leaking hose, or loose shield cup. If system works properly, retighten cup and reset power.
