  • Page 5 Safety Precautions Everlast is dedicated to providing you with the best possible equipment and service to meet the de- manding job requirements that you may have. We want to go beyond delivering a satisfactory prod- uct to you. That is the reason we offer free technical and basic welding support to assist you with your needs, should an occasion occur where it is needed.
  • 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 severe skin burn and damage.
  • Page 7 Safety Precautions WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely malfunction 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 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.
  • Page 9 Everlast. Various diameter consumables for lower amp use are available. The unit comes with a spare 30 Amp glass-type (slow-blow) fuse for the pilot arc. Set this fuse aside where you can find it. Replacement fuses may be bought locally (use part number printed on fuse for reference) or directly from Everlast.
  • Page 10 Plan the unit’s daily use around the recommended average cut thickness for best results and speed. This is an industry standard recommenda- tion and is not unique to Everlast PowerPlasma models. CNC cut thickness recommendations are further reduced by duty cycle, travel speed expectations, and straight-down piercing limitations.
  • Page 11 GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION: The PowerPlasma 52i utilizes the latest in digital inverter design technology. The digital design is a major revision of the former analog inverter design of its predecessor. This has simplified internal design, improved reliability and reduced weight. In addition, cutting operations are more accurately managed for increased performance and consumable life.
  • Page 12 This unit may be run on a generator capable of 8500 Surge Watts. Additionally, the generator must provide “clean power”. Clean power is de- fined as having 5% or less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This is a rating given by the manufacturer of the generator, and not Everlast. This is similar to the power normally supplied at a wall outlet.

  • Page 14 Section 2 Quick Setup Guide Plasma Connections: Compressor and Dryer Diagram IMPORTANT: A separate air dryer between the air compressor and filter assembly must be installed, usually at the compressor or right before the regulator. This is a customer supplied item. Failure to install a separate air dryer/filter will greatly decrease consumable life.
  • Page 15 Section 2 Quick Setup Guide STOP! To set the air pressure, use the “Air-Check” feature to initiate air flow, then adjust the pressure while air is continually flowing. Do not fire the torch to initiate air flow. Firing the torch without cutting significantly increases consumable wear. STOP! •...
  • Page 16 Make sure that you use an adequate size compressor as listed in the specifications on page 10. If there is a significant loss of pressure, there may be an internal restriction to the pressure circuit or leak. Contact Everlast.
  • Page 17 Breaker Switch. This switch serves as the main power switch for the unit. If a severe fault or short takes place, this breaker switch will trip. If the break- er trips, find and rectify fault before attempting to power the unit back on. If the breaker does not reset, contact Everlast.
  • Page 18 Section 3 Operation NOTICE: The design of the blow back start may cause a slight delay in the arc as the air pressure must built inside the torch tubing and head to create the pressure needed to force the electrode off the nozzle seat. This may take up to a second, especially when using longer torches or marginal air supply systems.
  • Page 19 When stepping down amps to cut thinner material, you must change to smaller orifice nozzle. Nozzles are offered in different sizes which are made for different amp levels. See the torch parts page for amp range and size of consumables. Everlast offers OEM size and configuration of consumables originally supplied with the torch for replacements and do not offer all configurations or sizes.

  • Page 22 Section 3 Operation GOUGING TRAVEL GOUGING Gouging is used to remove metal, usually a weld or surface defect by “washing” away the surface metal with an arc flame. Gouging should be performed with a consumable with a large diameter orifice or special gouge consumable with a large diameter orifice. These consumables are available from some OEM suppliers of the Innotec iPT series torch.
