SAFETY Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding working area if the equipment is not correctly operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the installation and operation of this equipment.

SAFETY Fire hazard. Welding/cutting on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding/cutting arc, hot workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of the electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding/cutting.

Overload / Power Error LED • Lights up when over-voltage, over-current or electrical overheating (due to exceeding duty cycle) is detected and protection is activated.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS Additional Machine Control Information Compressed Air Requirements A reliable and consistent supply of clean, dry compressed air is essential for proper operation. Although the machine contains its own internal air supply filtration system it is recommended the compressed air supply should have external filtration in the line feeding the machine, both a standard water trap (sintered bronze filter) and also a coalescing filter (for oil in the air).
SETUP FOR INTERNAL AIR PLASMA CUTTING Connect the plasma torch to the plasma torch Connect the earth clamp to the positive (+) connection. Tighten the nut once connected to dinse connection, twist to lock in place ensure a secure connection. Connect the plug into the socket, then Select INTERNAL air supply.

SETUP FOR INTERNAL AIR PLASMA CUTTING Select Test Air by pressing the Cut Mode Connect the earth clamp to the work piece. Mode button until the Test Air icon lights up, to check that air is feeding correctly. RAZORCUT Select desired cutting mode by pressing the Set the current to turning the Current Control Cut Mode Mode button until the desired Knob.

SETUP FOR INTERNAL AIR PLASMA CUTTING Place and hold the torch vertical at the edge of Pull the trigger to energise the arc. When the the plate. cutting arc has cut through the edge of the plate start moving evenly in the direction you wish to cut.
SETUP FOR EXTERNAL AIR PLASMA CUTTING Connect the plasma torch to the plasma torch Connect the earth clamp to the positive (+) connection. Tighten the nut once connected to dinse connection, twist to lock in place ensure a secure connection. Connect the plug into a 230v Power socket, Select EXTERNAL air supply.

SETUP FOR EXTERNAL AIR PLASMA CUTTING Connect air supply to the Air Filter. Select Test Air by pressing the Cut Mode Mode button until the Test Air icon lights up. RAZORCUT Lift the Air Pressure Regulator Knob, then turn Push the Air Pressure Regulator Knob the knob until you reach an ideal reading of downwards to lock the reading in place.

Failure to do this will result in torch head damage. NOTES FOR USING THE MACHINE FOR CNC CUTTING Your RAZORCUT 40PCi is fitted with a RAZORCUT CNC Port with 12 female pins. Your machine is supplied with a male 12 pin connector.
PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter. We all are familiar with the first three: i.e., Solid, liquid, and gas.
PLASMA CUTTING TIPS & TECHNIQUES Amperage The 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.

PLASMA CUTTING TIPS & TECHNIQUES Electrode condition A fixed gap is established between the electrode and the inside of the cutting tip — electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and superheating the air creating the plasma stream. The electrode contains an insert at the end made of a highly conductive material called hafnium.
WARNING: There are extremely dangerous voltage and power levels present inside this unit. Do not attempt to diagnose or repair unit by removing external cover unless you are an authorized JASIC repair facility 1. Power lamp and temperature lamp on.
