CUTTING can cause fire or
explosion.
Hot metal and sparks blow out from the cutting arc.
The flying sparks and hot metal, hot workpiece,
Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any cutting.
l Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the cutting arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
l Do not cut where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
l Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
l Be alert that sparks and hot materials from cutting can easily go
through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
l Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
l Be aware that cutting on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.
l Do not cut or weld on tire rims or wheels. Tires can explode if
heated. Repaired rims and wheels can fail. See OSHA 29 CFR
1910.177 listed in Safety Standards.
l Do not cut on containers that have held combustibles, or on closed
containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are properly
prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards).
l Connect work cable to the work as close to the cutting area as
practical to prevent cutting current from traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards.
l Do not use plasma cutter to thaw frozen pipes.
l Never cut containers with potentially flammable materials inside—
they must be emptied and properly cleaned first.
l Do not cut where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
l Do not cut pressurized cylinders, pipes, or vessels.
and hot equipment can cause fires and burns.
This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC
SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult
symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to
avoid these hazards.
l Wear body protection made from leather or flame-resistant cloth-
ing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
l Do not locate unit on or over combustible surfaces.
l Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any cutting.
l After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
l Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or by-
pass them.
l Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal
shocks or severe burns. The torch and work circuit
are electrically live whenever the output is on. The
input power circuit and machine internal circuits
are also live when power is on. Plasma arc cutting requires higher voltages than welding to start and maintain the arc (200 to 400 volts DC
are common), but can also use torches designed with safety interlock
systems which turn off the machine when the shield cup is loosened
or if tip touches electrode inside the nozzle. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.
l Do not touch live electrical parts.
l Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
l Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.
l Do not touch torch parts if in contact with the work or ground.
l Turn off power before checking, cleaning, or changing torch parts.
l Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this equip-
ment. Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA CFR
1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
l Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according to
its Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes.
l Check and be sure that input power cord ground wire is properly
connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or that cord plug
is connected to a properly grounded receptacle outlet — always
verify the supply ground.
l When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-
tor first—double-check connections.
l Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot met-
al and sparks.
l Frequently inspect input power cord and ground conductor for
damage or bare wiring — replace immediately if damaged — bare
wiring can kill.
l Turn off all equipment when not in use.

l Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or repaired cables.
l Do not wrap torch cable around your body.
l Ground the workpiece to a good electrical (earth) ground if re-
quired by codes.
l Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once.
l Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
l Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
l Do not bypass or try to defeat the safety interlock systems.
l Use only torch(es) specified in Owner’s Manual.
l Keep away from torch tip and pilot arc when trigger is pressed.
l Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece
(not piece that will fall away) or worktable as near the cut as
practical.
l Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the cutting process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin.
proper shade of filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc
rays and sparks when cutting or watching. ANSI Z49.1 (see Safety
Standards) suggests a No. 9 shade (with No. 8 as minimum) for all
cutting currents less than 300 amperes. Z49.1 adds that lighter filter shades can be used when the arc is hidden by the workpiece.
As this is normally the case with low current cutting, the shades
suggested in Table 1 are provided for the operator’s convenience.
l Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet
or shield.
l Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
l Wear body protection made from leather or flame-resistant cloth-
ing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

FLYING SPARKS can injure.
Sparks and hot metal blow out from the cutting arc.
Chipping and grinding cause flying metal.
l Wear approved face shield or safety goggles with
side shields.
l Wear proper body protection to protect skin.
l Wear flame-resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to prevent sparks from
entering ears.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Prolonged noise from some cutting applications
can damage hearing if levels exceed limits specified by OSHA (see Safety Standards).
l Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level
is high.
l Warn others nearby about noise hazard.
FUMES AND GASES can be
hazardous.
Cutting produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.
l Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
l Ventilate the work area and/or use local forced ventilation at the
arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way
to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition
and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
l If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
l Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
l Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wear-
ing an air-supplied respirator. Fumes from cutting and oxygen depletion can alter air quality causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.
l Do not cut in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-
erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to
form highly toxic and irritating gases.
l Do not cut on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmi-
um plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the cutting
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes when cut.
l Do not cut containers with toxic or reactive materials inside or con-
tainers that have held toxic or reactive materials - they must be
emptied and properly cleaned first.
OM-254449 Page 2
PLASMA ARC can injure.
The heat from the plasma arc can cause serious
burns. The force of the arc adds greatly to the burn
hazard. The intensely hot and powerful arc can
quickly cut through gloves and tissue.
l Keep away from the torch tip.
l Do not grip material near the cutting path.
l The pilot arc can cause burns - keep away from torch tip when trig-
ger is pressed.
l Wear body protection made from leather or flame-resistant cloth-
ing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
l Point torch away from your body and toward work when pressing
the torch trigger—pilot arc comes on immediately.
l Turn off power source and disconnect input power before disas-
sembling torch or changing torch parts.
l Use only torch(es) specified in the Owner’s Manual.
Page 7
CYLINDERS can explode if
damaged.
Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Since gas cylinders are normally part of metal-
working processes, be sure to treat them carefully.
l Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-
cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flame, sparks, and arcs.
l Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.
l Keep cylinders away from any cutting or other electrical circuits.
l Never allow electrical contact between a plasma arc torch and a
cylinder.
l Never cut on a pressurized cylinder—explosion will result.
l Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them
and associated parts in good condition.
l Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Do
not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the
valve.
l Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in
use or connected for use.
l Use the proper equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient
number of persons to lift, move, and transport cylinders.
l Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, asso-
ciated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

1-6.EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied processes including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting,
and induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the
welding circuit. EMF fields can interfere with some medical implants,
e.g. pacemakers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical
implants have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passers
−by or conduct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders
should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to
EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
OM-254449 Page 4
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding,
spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures
is recommended.

Des particules de métal chaud et des étincelles
peuvent jaillir de la pièce au moment du coupage.
chauffée et l’équipement chaud peuvent causer un feu ou des brûlures. Avant de commencer à travailler, assurez-vous que l’endroit est
sécuritaire.
l Déplacez toute matière inflammable se trouvant à l’intérieur d’un
périmètre de 10,7 m (35 pi) de la pièce à couper. Si cela est impossible, vous devez les couvrir avec des housses approuvées et
bien ajustées.
l Ne coupez pas dans un endroit où des étincelles pourraient attein-
dre des matières inflammables.
l Protégez-vous, ainsi que toute autre personne travaillant sur les
lieux, contre les étincelles et le métal chaud.
l Assurez-vous qu’aucune étincelle ni particule de métal ne peut se
glisser dans de petites fissures ou tomber dans d’autres pièces.
l Afin d’éliminer tout risque de feu, soyez vigilant et gardez toujours
un extincteur à la portée de la main.
l Si vous coupez sur un plafond, un plancher ou une cloison, soyez
conscient que cela peut entraîner un feu de l’autre côté.
l Ne pas couper ou souder des jantes ou des roues. Les pneus peu-
vent exploser s’ils sont chauffés. Les jantes et les roues réparées
peuvent défaillir. Voir OSHA 29 CFR 1910.177 énuméré dans les
normes de sécurité.
Les étincelles et le métal chaud, la pièce à couper
Ce groupe de symboles veut dire Avertissement! Attention! DANGER DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE, PIECES EN MOUVEMENT, et PIECES CHAUDES. Reportez-vous aux symboles et aux directives cidessous afin de connaître les mesures à prendre pour éviter tout
danger.
l Ne pas effectuer le soudage sur des conteneurs fermés tels que
des réservoirs, tambours, ou conduites, à moins qu’ils n’aient été
préparés correctement conformément à AWS F4.1 (voir les Normes de Sécurité).
l Fixez le câble de masse sur la pièce à couper, le plus près pos-
sible de la zone à couper afin de prévenir que le courant de coupage ne prenne une trajectoire inconnue ou longue et ne cause
ainsi une décharge électrique, d’étincelles ou un feu.
l Ne pas utiliser le coupeur plasma pour dégeler des conduites
gelées.
l Ne coupez jamais des contenants qui peuvent contenir des matiè-
res inflammables. Vous devez en premier lieu les vider et les nettoyer convenablement.
l Ne pas couper là où l’air ambiant pourrait contenir des poussières,
gaz ou émanations inflammables (vapeur d’essence, par
exemple).
l Ne coupez pas de bouteilles, de tuyaux ou de contenants
pressurisés.
l Porter une protection corporelle en cuir ou des vêtements ignifu-
ges (FRC). La protection du corps comporte des vêtements sans
huile comme par ex. des gants de cuir, une chemise solide, des
pantalons sans revers, des chaussures hautes et une casquette.
l Ne placez pas le poste sur une surface combustible ou au-dessus
de celle-ci.
l Avant le coupage, retirez tout combustible de vos poches, par
exemple un briquet au butane ou des allumettes.
l Une fois le travail achevé, assurez-vous qu’il ne reste aucune
trace d’étincelles incandescentes ni de flammes.
l Utiliser exclusivement des fusibles ou coupe-circuits appropriés.
Ne pas augmenter leur puissance; ne pas les ponter.
l Suivre les consignes de OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) et de NFPA
51B pour travaux de soudage et prévoir un détecteur d’incendie et

UN CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE peut tuer.
Le contact avec des pièces électriques sous tension peut causer un choc fatal ou des brûlures graves. Dès que la sortie de soudage est activée,
la torche et le circuit de travail sont sous tension.
Le découpage à l’arc sous plasma demande une tension départ et de
travail plus élevée que le soudage (typiquement, 200 et 400 V c. c.),
mais permet l’utilisation d’une torche à inter-verrouillage de sécurité
qui coupe l’alimentation de la machine lorsque la coupelle d’écran est
déposée ou si le bec de contact touche l’électrode à l’intérieur de la
buse. Des équipements mal installés ou dont la mise à la masse est
fautive constituent des dangers.

LES ÉTINCELLES PROJETÉES
peuvent provoquer des blessures.
Le coupage plasma produit des étincelles et projections de métal à très haute température.
Lorsque la pièce refroidit, du laitier peut se former.
l Portez une visière ou des lunettes de sécurité avec des écrans la-
téraux approuvées.
l Portez des vêtements de protection adéquats afin de protéger vo-
tre peau.
l Ayez recours à des protège-tympans ou à un serre-tête ignifuges
afin d’éviter que les étincelles n’entrent dans vos oreilles.
LE BRUIT peut endommager l’ouïe.
Certaines applications de coupage produisent un
bruit constant, ce qui peut endommager l’ouïe si le
niveau sonore dépasse les limites permises par
sécurité).
l Utilisez des protège-tympans ou un serre-tête antibruit si le niveau
sonore est élevé.
l Prévenez toute personne sur les lieux du danger relié au bruit.
l’OSHA (reportez-vous aux Principales normes de
OM-254449 Page 6

LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent
être dangereux.
Le coupage produit des vapeurs et des gaz. Respirer ces vapeurs et ces gaz peut être dangereux
pour la santé.
l Ne mettez pas votre tête au-dessus des vapeurs. Ne respirez pas
ces vapeurs.
l À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au
niveau de l’arc pour l’évacuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage. Pour déterminer la bonne ventilation, il est recommandé de
procéder à un prélèvement pour la composition et la quantité de
fumées et de gaz auxquelles est exposé le personnel.
l Si la ventilation est médiocre, utilisez un respirateur anti-vapeurs
approuvé.
l Lire et comprendre les fiches de données de sécurité et les ins-
tructions du fabricant concernant les adhésifs, les revêtements,
les nettoyants, les consommables, les produits de refroidissement, les dégraisseurs, les flux et les métaux.
l Travaillez dans un espace restreint uniquement s’il est bien ventilé
ou si vous portez un respirateur anti-vapeurs. Les vapeurs causées par le coupage et l’épuisement de l’oxygène peuvent altérer
la qualité de l’air et entraîner des blessures ou la mort. Assurezvous que l’air ambiant est sain pour la santé.
l Ne coupez pas dans un endroit près d’opérations de décapage,
de nettoyage ou de vaporisation. La chaleur et les rayons d’arc
peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs et former des gaz hautement toxiques et irritants.
l Ne coupez pas des métaux enrobés tels que des métaux galvani-
sés, contenant du plomb ou de l’acier plaqué au cadmium, à
moins que l’enrobage ne soit ôté de la surface du métal à couper,
que l’endroit où vous travaillez ne soit bien ventilé, ou que vous ne
portiez un respirateur anti-vapeurs. Les enrobages ou tous métaux qui contiennent ces éléments peuvent créer des vapeurs toxiques s’ils sont coupés.
l Ne coupez pas de contenants qui renferment ou ont renfermés
des matières toxiques ou réactives - vous devez en premier lieu
les vider et les nettoyer convenablement.
L’ARC PLASMA peut provoquer des
blessures.
La chaleur dégagée par le plasma d’arc peut entraîner de sérieuses brûlures. La force de l’arc est
un facteur qui s’ajoute au danger de brûlures. La
chaleur intense et la puissance de l’arc peuvent rapidement passer
au travers de gants et de tissus.
l N’approchez pas le tube du chalumeau.
l Ne saisissez pas la pièce à couper près de la ligne de coupage.
l L’arc pilote peut causer des brûlures - n’approchez pas le tube du
chalumeau lorsque vous avez appuyé sur le gâchette.
l Porter une protection corporelle en cuir ou des vêtements ignifu-
ges (FRC). La protection du corps comporte des vêtements sans
huile, comme des gants de cuir, une chemise solide, des pantalons sans revers, des chaussures hautes et une casquette.
l Ne pointez pas le chalumeau en direction de votre corps ni de la
pièce à couper lorsque vous appuyez sur la gâchette - l’arc pilote
s’allume automatiquement.
l Mettez l’alimentation hors tension et débranchez le cordon d’ali-
mentation avant de démonter le chalumeau ou de changer une
pièce du chalumeau.
l Utilisez uniquement le ou les chalumeaux recommandés dans le
manuel de l’opérateur.
LES BOUTEILLES peuvent exploser
si elles sont endommagées.
Les bouteilles de gaz comprimé contiennent du
gaz sous haute pression. Si une bouteille est en-
dommagée, elle peut exploser. Puisque les bouteilles de gaz font habituellement partie d’un processus de travail des
métaux, assurez-vous de les manipuler correctement.
l Protégez les bouteilles de gaz comprimé contre la chaleur exces-
sive, les chocs mécaniques, des dommages physiques, le laitier,
la flamme, les étincelles et l’arc.
l Placer les bouteilles debout en les fixant dans un support station-
naire ou dans un porte-bouteilles pour les empêcher de tomber ou
de se renverser.
l Les bouteilles ne doivent pas être près de la zone de coupage ni
de tout autre circuit électrique.
l Un contact électrique ne doit jamais se produire entre un chalu-
meau de plasma d’arc et une bouteille.
l Ne coupez jamais sur une bouteille pressurisée - une explosion
en résulterait.
l Utilisez uniquement des bouteilles de gaz comprimé , des déten-
deurs, des boyaux et des raccords conçus pour l’application déterminée. Gardez-les, ainsi que toute autre pièce associée, en
bonne condition.
l Tourner le dos à la sortie de vanne lors de l’ouverture de la vanne
de la bouteille. Ne pas se tenir devant ou derrière le régulateur lors
de l’ouverture de la vanne.
l Le couvercle du détendeur doit toujours être en place, sauf
lorsque vous utilisez la bouteille ou qu’elle est reliée pour usage
ultérieur.
l Utilisez les équipements corrects, les bonnes procédures et suffi-
samment de personnes pour soulever, déplacer et transporter les
bouteilles.
l Lire et suivre les instructions sur les bouteilles de gaz comprimé,
l’équipement connexe et le dépliant P-1 de la CGA (Compressed
Gas Association) mentionné dans les principales normes de
sécurité.

2-6.Informations relatives aux CEM
Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des
champs électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant issu d’un soudage à l’arc (et de procédés connexes, y compris le soudage par points, le gougeage, le découpage plasma et les opérations
de chauffage par induction) crée un champ électromagnétique (CEM)
autour du circuit de soudage. Les champs électromagnétiques produits peuvent causer interférence à certains implants médicaux,
p. ex. les stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour
les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: par exemple,
des restrictions d’accès pour les passants ou une évaluation individuelle des risques pour les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procédures suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux CEM
provenant du circuit de soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec
du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre
corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du
circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la
soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni s’asseoir
ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le
dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant
de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par
points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les procédures précédentes.

5-1.Plasma Cutting System Practices
The pilot arc starts immediately
when trigger is pressed.
Standoff distance is 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) for
F
XT60 Torch.
Step 1. Always connect work clamp to a
clean, paint-free location on work piece, as
close to cutting area as possible.
Step 2. DO NOTstart pilot arc without cutting
or gouging as this shortens the service life of
the nozzle and electrode.
Step 3. Maintain approximately a 90° angle
to the work piece surface for proper cutting
results.
Step 4. Sparks should pass through the
work piece and out the bottom when cutting.
Step 5. If sparks flare back from surface, this
usually is an indication that either travel
speed is too fast or amperage is set too low.
Step 6. When doing extended (nonshielded) cutting, maintain approximately 1/
16 in. standoff between electrode and
surface.
Step 7. DO NOT put pressure on shield
when drag cutting; instead, slide shield
along the surface for proper cutting results.
Step 8. Pulling rather than pushing the torch
makes cutting easier. Use a proper guide or
template for accurate cutting operations.

The pilot arc starts immediately
when trigger is pressed.
Step 1. Connect work clamp to a clean,
paint-free location on work piece, as close to
cutting area as possible.
Step 2. For standard (shielded) cutting,
place drag shield on edge of metal. For extended (non-shielded) cutting, use 1/16-1/
8 in. (1.6-3.2 mm) standoff distance (dragging tip will reduce tip life).
Step 3. Raise trigger lock and press trigger.
Pilot arc starts.
Step 4. After cutting arc starts, slowly start
moving torch across metal.
Step 5. Adjust torch speed so sparks go thru
metal and out bottom of cut.
Step 6. Pause briefly at end of cut before releasing trigger.
Step 7. Postflow continues for approx. 20
seconds after releasing trigger; cutting arc
can be instantly restarted during postflow by
raising trigger lock and pressing trigger.
5-3.Sequence Of Gouging Operation
The pilot arc starts immediately
when trigger is pressed.
Step 1. Connect work clamp to a clean,
paint-free location on workpiece, as close to
cutting area as possible.
Step 2. Trigger pilot arc once before starting
to gouge.
Step 3. Hold torch at approximately 45° angle to workpiece.
Step 4. Raise trigger lock and press trigger.
Pilot arc starts. Move tip to within approximately 3/16 in. (4.8 mm). Start gouging
across workpiece surface. Maintain approximately a 45° angle to surface.
Step 5. Release trigger. Postflow continues
for approx. 20 seconds after releasing trigger; arc can be instantly restarted during
postflow by raising trigger lock and pressing
trigger.

Step 3. Rotate torch to upright position approximately 90° to surface. When arc has
pierced through workpiece, start cutting.
Step 4. Maintain approximately 90° torch position to surface, and continue cutting.
Step 5. Release trigger. Postflow continues
for approx. 20 seconds after releasing trigger; arc can be instantly restarted during
postflow by raising trigger lock and pressing

shutdown system is activated. Always
turn Off power when changing or
checking consumables. Do NOT
overtighten torch shield cup. Gently
finger tighten cup onto torch.
1 Torch Shield Cup
Turn Power On and loosen shield cup. If
shutdown system works properly, Cup
light comes on. If not, immediately turn
Off power and have Factory Authorized
Service Agent check unit.
If system works properly, retighten cup
and reset power.
Turn Off power source before checking torch parts.
Overtightening will strip threads. Do
not overtighten retaining cup during
assembly. Do not cross-thread parts
causing stripping. Use care during
torchassemblyandparts
replacement.
Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for wear before cutting or
whenever cutting speed has been
significantly reduced. Do not operate torch without a tip or electrode
in place. Be sure to use genuine replacement parts.
A good practice is to replace both the
F
tip and electrode at the same time
1 Shield Cup
