Fire hazard. Plasma cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, ex- plosion, overheating, or fire.

CAUTION 1. Working Environment. 1.1 The environment in which this Plasma Cutter equipment is installed must be free of grinding dust, corrosive chemicals, flammable gas or materials etc, and at no more than maximum of 80% humidity. 1.2 When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light, rain water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -10°C to +40°C.
AIR PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The gas can be air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen. etc. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter.
The resulting cutting performance is greatly improved compared to traditional plasma cutting machines. The RAZOR CUT80 is reliable, robust and stacked with features that you can expect from a high quality plasma cutter including full CNC connection. The RAZOR CUT80 is equipped with a high quality Suregrip SC80 Plasma Torch with Euro Style connection and 6mtr cable.

Razor RAZOR CUT8O Set Up Procedure for PLASMA Cutting (1) Connect the SC80 Plasma Torch to the machine. Insert the torch connection into the torch connection receptacle at the front of the machine and screw up hand tight. Caution: Be careful not to bend the pins located inside the torch connector. (2) Connect the earth lead to the output terminal of the machine and tighten.

Razor RAZOR CUT8O Operating Procedure for PLASMA Cutting Operating procedure using the Stand Off Guide mounted to SC80 torch. The feet of the standoff guide are placed on the cutting surface. This maintains an optimal 2mm standoff distance between the plasma cutting tip and the work, this is especially suitable if your hands are unsteady, or if you wish to use a straight edge guide or pattern guide.
Razor Operating Procedure & Techniques RAZOR CUT8O for PLASMA Cutting ● Amperage Standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material the more amperage required. On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf.

Razor Operating Procedure & Techniques RAZOR CUT8O for PLASMA Cutting ● Air pressure and volume Air pressure, flow rate and air quality are critical to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span. The required air pressure and volume can vary from model to model and the manufacturer will provide the specs. The volume capacity of your compressor is important, if you have a small compressor with exactly the same l/min rating as the plasma, then the compressor will run continuously when you are plasma cutting, a compressor with a l/min rating slightly higher than the plasma would be more adequate.
