PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

G
This plasma arc cutter has been engineered and
L
manufactured to give many years of trouble-free service
providing that a few very simple steps are taken to
I
properly maintain it.
S
1. Inspect and replace all cutting torch consumables
H
in a timely manner. See PREPARING TO CUT for
details.
2. Periodically, unplug the power cord from the ac
power source and remove the cover (left side, top,
and right side) from the plasma cutter. Air-blow
any accumulated dust and dirt from the inside of
the cutter and reinstall the cover. Initially, this
should be done after the first six months of
operation. After that, do it more or less frequently
depending on what your cutter's environment
dictates.
Note: All torch connections are located behind the
plastic nose piece (access panel) on the front
of the cutter. To replace a torch or check torch
connections, remove the plastic nose piece and
slide it away from cutter for clearance.
