•
Position your Forney 45 P PRO plasma cutting machine near a 240/120V electrical outlet. If using 120V input
power, be sure to use the power adapter provided in the box.
•
Choose a location with good air flow and ensure no dust, smoke or gas is present.
•
Place the unit on a flat and stable surface.
•
Make sure obstacles do not obstruct air flow by allowing 12" clearance around all openings of the machine.
•
Arrange an open space workspace of at least 15' near the machine.
•
If the machine must be moved, always disconnect the INPUT POWER CABLE from the electrical outlet and gather the
cables so as not to damage them.
Connect Input Power Cable
Before you make any electrical connection, make sure that the POWER SWITCH is OFF and the electrical circuit ratings
meet those stated in the ratings label of your plasma cutting machine.
The main supply voltage should be within ±10% of the rated main supply voltage. Too low of a supply voltage may cause
poor cutting performance. Too high of a supply voltage will cause components to overheat and possibly fail. The electrical
outlet must be:
•
Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified electrician;
•
Correctly grounded (electrically) in accordance with national and local regulations;
•
Connected to an electric circuit that is rated for sufficient amperage per the ratings label of your plasma cutting
machine.
•
Check the electrical outlet for proper output voltage.
•
Plug in the INPUT POWER CABLE to a 240V-50A electrical outlet.
•
A 120V-20A electrical outlet (with a 30A time-delay breaker) can be used with supplied adapter at lower output
amperage settings.
CHECK LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES TO BE SURE THE USE OF A 30A
BREAKER WITH A 20A ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS ALLOWABLE IN YOUR AREA.
National and local codes governing plumbing and electrical installation shall take precedence over any instructions
contained in this manual. In no event shall Forney be liable for injury to persons or property damage by reason of any
code violation or poor work practices.
