the correct supplies connected to the plasma cutter and that the flow/pressure of the supply falls within the specified

Connect the air:
Instructions:
1.
Validate the specifications supplied with your plasma cutter. Ensure that you have the
appropriate filters and connectors for the connections.
2.
Connect one air hose to your plasma cutter and the other to the compressed air connect near the
chuck mount. Route the compressed air hose so that they will not be damaged when handling
material before, during, or after cutting. Also, do not create a trip hazard for the operator.
3.
Set the regulator for the chuck air supply to 35-45 psi. Open the ball valve to allow air to flow
through the chuck and though the pipe being cut. This directs air through the chuck and out into
the pipe being cut, helping to prevent dust and smoke from entering the chuck and chuck box.
4.
Always open the ventilation air supply before executing a cut..
