4.3 Cutting Preparation 1. Tightly connect the power cable to electrical socket outlet (the input voltage, refer to the section 2. technology parameters) 2. Connect the air line to the air supply equipment, and the ground cable to the workpiece. 3.
5. Maintenance 5.1 Cutting Torch Maintenance Warning : 1. Check the consumable parts for damage, if worn, make sure you replace the comsubales. 2. Turn off the power source before checking or removing cutting torch parts. Note: When operating the torch in a normal condition, a small amount of air vents through the gap between the shield cup and the torch handle, Do not attempt to over tighten the shield cup as irreparable damage to internal components may result.
5.2 Troubleshooting Principle WARNING There are extremely dangerous voltage and power levels present inside this unit. Do not attempt to diagnose or repair unless you have had training in power electronics measurement and troubleshooting techniques. A. Temperature light on. 1. Fan blocked, check and correct condition. 2.

E. Difficulty Starting 1. Worn torch parts (consumables), make sure to turn off the machine before checking the consumables. Remove and inspect torch shield cup, tip and electrode. Replace electrode or tip if worn; replace shield cup if there is excessive spatter adhering to it. F.
8. APPENDIX 6.1 About the HTP MicroCut 45DV Voltage Divider The MicroCut 45DV machines are equipped with an optional, factory-installed, four- position voltage divider that is designed to be safely connected without tools. The built- in voltage divider provides a scaled down arc voltage of 20:1, 21.1:1, 30:1, 40:1, and 50:1 (maximum output of 18 V).
