  • Page 6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These safety precautions are for protection of safety and health. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Be careful to read and follow all cautions and warnings. Protect yourself and others. Welding and cutting processes produce high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause se- vere skin burn and damage.
  • Page 7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they con- sult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely mal- function while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding. Serious injury or death may occur! Welding and plasma cutting processes generate electro-magnetic fields and radiation.
  • Page 8 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued WARNING! Electrical shock can kill. Make sure all electrical equipment is properly grounded. Do not use frayed, cut or otherwise damaged cables and leads. Do not stand, lean or rest on ground clamp. Do not stand in water or damp areas while welding or cutting. Keep work surface dry. Do not use welder or plasma cutter in the rain or in extremely humid conditions.

  • Page 10 Plan the unit’s daily use around the recommended average cut thickness for best results and speed. This is an industry standard recommendation and is not unique to Everlast PowerPlasma models. CNC cut thickness is further reduced as it is typically a 100% duty cycle operation which will require a lower maximum amp setting.

    Section 1 Introduction and Specifications General overview: The PowerPlasma 50S utilizes the lat- tionally toward the machine, particularly in grinding and est in inverter design technology. It’s a portable dual welding operations. Make sure the control panel is pro- voltage plasma cutter with an output of 50 amps on tected from damage.

    When using the plasma cutter at amp levels lower than 40 amps, the nozzle (tip ) will need to be changed out for one with a smaller diameter orifice. While Everlast is the supplier of the torch, it is not the manufacturer. Everlast has a considerable inventory of standard replacement consumables and consumable kits.
  • Page 13 Section 2 QUICK SETUP AND USE GUIDE STOP: DO NOT FIRE THE TORCH WITH THE TRIGGER TO SET THE OPERATINGAIR PRESSURE. USE THE “CONSTANT FLOW” FEATURE TO SET CUTTING PRESSURE. DO NOT CHANGE CONSUMABLES WHILE THE UNIT IS SWITCHED ON. SERIOUS SHOCK, BURN OR INJURY MAY RESULT IF THE CUP-IN-POSITION SENSOR IN THE TORCH HEAD WERE TO STICK OR MALFUNCTION! Having trouble setting your unit for best cutting? Try the following: Keep your standoff to less than 1/8”.

The OK-TO-CUT light remains on while the air pressure is above the minimum threshold pressure. This is not a warning light, but rather it gives the operator assurance that the pressure is within tolerable limits to prevent torch damage.

Everlast does not have an “approved” list of generators. But, if the generator is not listed as clean power by its manufacturer, then operation is prohibited.
  • Page 19 Section 3 Basic theory and function The design of the blow back start may cause a slight delay in the arc as the air pressure builds inside the torch to create the pressure needed to force the electrode off the nozzle seat. This time will be longer with torches with longer cables.
