FAQs
What metals can I cut with this plasma cutter?
You can cut stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals up to 15mm thick.
What type of power supply does this machine require?
It requires a 230V power supply and a 32A plug.
What is the duty cycle?
The duty cycle is 60% at 60A and 100% at 40A.
Does this machine come with a gas regulator?
Yes, it has an integrated gas regulator.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing when operating the plasma cutter. Work in a well-ventilated area.
How do I maintain the plasma cutter?
Regularly clean the torch and nozzles. Check for wear and replace consumables as needed.
What does the digital meter display?
The digital meter displays the amperage being used.
Troubleshooting
The cutter does not start.
Check the power supply, ensure the power cord is properly connected, and that the breaker hasn't tripped. Check the air supply and ensure it is properly connected and at the correct pressure.
The cut is inconsistent or rough.
Check the amperage setting, and adjust it according to the metal thickness. Inspect the nozzle and electrode for wear and replace if necessary. Make sure the ground clamp is securely connected.
The pilot arc does not start.
Check the air supply and ensure the torch is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure the ground clamp is properly connected to the workpiece.
The machine shuts down during operation.
Allow the machine to cool down; the thermal overload protection might have been triggered. Reduce the duty cycle by lowering the amperage or allowing the machine to cool down.
