Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum cutting capacity for steel with the use of the 600 DP model?

A: Steel cutting capacity for this model is 12 mm maximum using the 600 DP model.

Q: How much current does the 1204 DP Model pulls when operating on stage one?

A: The 1204 DP draws 46A on its peak settings, and its first stage is 120A.

Q: What is the recommended air pressure for operation?

A: It is advised that the air pressure for the machine is set within the range of 4.5 to 5 bars.

Q: I can not start the machine what should I do?

A: Ensure that the compressed air supply has the appropriate pressure. You must also check to if all three phases of the power supply are operational.

Q: How often should the electrodes and cutting tips be checked for wear?

A: Electrodes and cutting tips are to be inspected on a frequent basis especially when the cutting quality is noticeably less than satisfactory

Q: Is it possible to use this plasma cutting machine to cut painted materials?

A: The machine in question uses a pilot arc which enables it to cut through painted materials without the need for prior cleaning of the surface.

Q: What safety features does the machine have?

A: The cutting current for the machine is only turned on when the torch makes contact with a workpiece thanks to the advanced electronic safety control inbuilt into the device.

Q: What is the weight of the 900 DP model?
