Input Power

• Check the power source for proper input voltage.
• Make sure the power source meets circuit protection and wiring requirements.
• Plug unit in and close main disconnect switch to supply primary power to the system.

Work Clamp, Ground Cable

Check for a solid ground cable connection to the work piece.

Automatic Purge System

• Once you have connected your compressed air supply, power on the machine. The cooling
fan will start and an 8 second automatic gas purge is activated (pre-flow) to remove any
condensation that may have accumulated in the torch and cable while the system was shut
down.
• When the gas purge is complete, the pilot arc can be initiated by pressing the torch trigger
and cutting can begin. When you have finsihed cutting, there will be an automatic post-flow
of compressed air for 20 seconds to cool the torch.

Checking Air Quality

• To check air quality, deactivate the torch (post-flow) and place welding filter lens in front of
the torch. Any oil or moisture in the air will be visible on the lens.
• DO NOT initiate pilot arc while checking air quality.
