PILOT ARC USED ON 50P ONLY
NOTES:
1) This unit is not equipped with low air pressure safety cut out. Attempting to cut with the unit without air or with low air pressure may
severely damage unit and/or torch. Always verify air pressure before attempting to cut.
2) Do not exceed 85 psi air supply pressure or failure of components may result.
3) Adjust torch operation pressure to 55-65 for best results with unit set to "constant flow". If supplied, use the flow meter as depicted in
the torch manual to properly set the air pressure and flow. Do not supply the unit with more than 85 PSI from the compressor.
4) Use tips with smaller orifices when cutting in 120V mode or at low amperages (<40A). A symptom of a consumable that is too large, is a
wandering arc or sputtering arc.
5)
Do not attempt to cut with the work clamp removed. The unit will produce the pilot arc without the work clamp connected. The pilot
arc is not designed to cut and excessive use will burn up the consumable and the torch. Keep the pilot arc engaged for little as possible.
If you notice that the unit does not cut but only scars the surface or cuts less than 1/8" into the metal slowly, and the arc is present,
likely it is an issue with a poor connection of the work clamp. Poor connection of the work piece can cause the pilot arc not to transfer
properly. Have someone safely look at the display while attempting a cut. The display should briefly drop below 30 amps and then
return to the preset amperage level. If it remains below 30 amps (usually 20-27 amps or so) the pilot arc is not transferring. Stop and
examine the work piece, clamp and even the DINSE connector on the panel. Repair if necessary. If this does not resolve the pilot arc
transfer issue, contact Everlast.
