5.
Orient yourself to one side of the cutting
area, and move the Welding Helmet
(sold separately) over your eyes.

6.
Position Torch near workpiece at start of cut.
Keep Cutting Tip at a 90º angle to workpiece,
and in contact with the workpiece.
7.
Do not press trigger until torch is in
position to start cutting. Starting at the edge
of the workpiece, press and hold the Trigger to
strike the pilot arc. When the arc ignites, start
slowly moving the Torch along the cut line.
8.
Slowly move the Torch along the cutting
line with the Cutting Tip trailing.
note: Keep the Torch Cutting Tip pointed straight
(90º) into the workpiece and in contact with the
surface throughout cut. Consistent workpiece contact
and cutting speed are critical. Sparks should
pass through the workpiece at a slight angle.
9.
If sparks start shooting up from the workpiece
instead of passing through, the Torch is being
moved too quickly so the cut is not being
made completely. Move the Torch along the
workpiece more slowly to cut completely.

10.
If sparks pass straight down through bottom of
workpiece instead of at a slight angle, the Torch
is being moved too slowly. This could cause the
arc to extinguish. Move the Torch a little faster.
note: if the plasma cutter suddenly shuts off, check:
a. torch contact with workpiece.
b. poor workpiece grounding.
c. dirty/painted workpiece.
d. thermal Overload tripping.
(See number 4 on page 8.)
11.
Pause briefly at end of cut.
12.
Release the Trigger. The air will continue to come
out of the Torch for a few seconds once the Trigger
is released to cool off the Torch components.
13.
When finished cutting:
a. Lift the Torch from the workpiece and set
down on a cool part of the metal work table.
b. Wait 10 minutes for the Plasma Cutter
to cool down with the Power Switch On
so the fan continues to operate.
c. Press the Power Switch to the OFF position.
d. Turn the air supply off and disconnect air lines.
e. Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
