Operation - Impax IM-IPC40 Manual

OPERATION

Before starting any welding activity ensure
that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing. Also take the necessary
steps to protect any persons within the area.
At the start of each operating session:
1. Check the torch for proper assembly and
appropriate torch parts. The torch parts
must correspond with the type of operation,
and with the amperage output of this power
supply (40 amps maximum). Use only
genuine parts with this torch.
Note: When operating the torch in a normal
condition, a small amount of gas vents through
the gap between the shield cup and torch
handle. Do not attempt to over tighten the shield
cup as irreparable damage to internal
components may result.
2. Check that the torch is properly connected.
3. Check the power source for proper input
voltage. Make sure the input power source
meets the power requirements for the unit
per page 18, Specifications.
4. Ensure gas source meets requirements
listed below. Check connections and turn
gas supply on. Adjust gas pressure.

paint and rust. Connect only to the main
part of the workpiece; do not connect to the
part to be cut off.
