Page 38: Practical Information
Note: It is recommended not to ignite the arc in the air if not necessary. It will shorten the lifespan of the electrode and nozzle of the torch. Try to initiate the cutting from the edge of the workpiece unless piercing is needed. Pay attention to the spatters / sparks while cutting. - Page 39 External Gas/Air Filtration Many common problems with Plasma Cut 45 D systems are caused by dirty, oily air. Although the power supply includes an air filter, maintaining a clean and dry gas / airline is critical for preventing oil, water, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the plasma cutting system and causing damage to its internal components, as well as achieving optimal cutting quality and consumable lifespan.
- Page 40 Guidelines for hand torch cutting To maintain a uniform cut, lightly drag the tip of the torch along the workpiece. Optional torch guide wheel spacer prevents the torch tip sticking to the workpiece. The torch head (and torch tip) must be held up 90 ° to the cutting surface and the cutting arc must be monitored during the cutting process.
- Page 41 Pierce start The pierce start often leads to rapid consumable wear and excess blowback of molten metal deposited on torches and consumables. This should be done if necessary. A. Tilt the torch in the direction of travel or toward the side of the metal to be discarded or wasted at 40 to 60 angles.

Page 42: Cutting Process And Quality
3.5 Cutting process and quality Cut quality Requirements of cut quality vary by application. For example, when aiming for a high-quality finish cut, a dross-free cut is important to avoid another cleaning operation, or when welding a surface after cutting, nitride accumulation and bevel can be important considerations. - Page 43 Straightness of the cut surface: The cut surface is concave or convex. Kerf width: The width of removed metal Surface Condition: The surface condition is the desired condition of the final cut surface (smooth or rough). The presence of nitrogen in the plasma gas stream can cause nitrides to deposit on the cut surface.

Page 44: Consumable Life
Top spatter dross Top spatter dross is an accumulation of resolidified metal along the top of the cut piece which is usually easy to remove. Most often, it is due to worn nozzles, high speed of the plasma torch, or long arc length. When the plasma jet swirls, molten material is flung out in front of the kerf rather than down through it. -
