COMPRESSED AIR

A source of clean, dry air or nitrogen must be supplied to your plasma cutting

unit. The supply pressure must be:

• Between 72.5 and 150 psi (5 and10.3 bar).

• The supply must also have a flow rate of approximately 3.5 cu.ft./

min. (100L/min.).

• The unit will not operate if the input air pressure is below 55 PSI, 3.8

Bar

Failure to observe these precautions could result in excessive operating

temperatures or damage to the plasma cutter.

REGULATOR

An air regulator is included with the unit with an optimum pressure setting of 65

PSI, 4.5 Bar.

NOTE: The regulator should never be set above 6 bar.

NOTE: The drain knob (bottom of air regulator) should be closed during

cutting operations.

ASSEMBLY

1. Connect the power supply cable to a mains socket.

2. Pull out the regulator knob, and

turn it fully clockwise.

• This ensures the air regulator is

set to minimum.

3. Connect the compressed air

supply as shown.

4. Turn the compressed air

supply ‘ON’
