NOTE: If using a plasma torch system, connect the plasma cable between the Motor Control Box and the plasma torch system in the same manner. Verify the cable lock feature is engaged at both ends. Make sure the Plasma Switch is in the “Off” position. Connect the Motor Control Box power cable to the AC electrical receptacle.
NOTE: If the torch penetrates the pipe without the machine being rotated it will create a notch in the bevel that is unacceptable to most welding codes. WARNING: Keep hands and clothing away from the gearing as it will cause serious injury. 7.25 Adjust the torch travel speed with Speed Control Switch until a quality cut is achieved.
