c. The tool's performance decreases.
d. The tool and power cord are hot to the touch due to overheating.
e. A circuit breaker trips or a panel fuse blows.
2. Confirm the power outlet's voltage and amperage match those on the
tool's name plate or in the manual's Specifications section.
3. Remove any other tools drawing power from the same electrical circuit.
4. Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply and run the tool
with no load.
5. Have the tool serviced if the tool fails to function properly or if the
housing or power cord are unusually hot.
ATTACH THE GROUND CLAMP
1. Clean off dirt, oil, rust, scale, oxidation and paint from the workpiece
where the ground clamp will be attached.
2. Attach the ground clamp to the workpiece. Connect the ground clamp
directly to the workpiece and as close to the cutting area as possible to
prevent the current from traveling along an unexpected path, creating an
electric shock or fire hazard.
3. If this is not possible, connect the ground clamp to metal attached to the
workpiece, but is not electrically insulated from it. The metal must be of
equal or greater thickness than the workpiece when using this alternate
attachment point.
SELECTING THE CURRENT
The amperage dial (D) has two guides for cutting. The
black guide is for 20A cutting tasks (Fig. 2-2). The
yellow guide is for 10 to 16A cutting tasks (Fig. 2-1).
When using a 15 A power supply, do not turn the
amperage dial past the black guide limit as this may
create an overheating/overload situation.

MANUAL CUTTING

1. Hold the torch tip near the edge of the workpiece without touching.
Ensure the standoff guide is in place.
2. Press the torch trigger to ignite the plasma pilot arc. The arc will form when
the torch is close enough to the workpiece.
