Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the plasma cutting process produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin. Protect your eyes with welding masks or goggles fitted with filtered lenses, and protect your body with appropriate safety garments.
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.

Set Up Procedure for PLASMA Cutting (1) Connect the T-150 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.

PLASMA CENTRAL ADAPTOR Directions for use Attach the male connector (torch side) to the female one(machine side). Make sure that the positioning pin aligns (A) with the corresponding notch, and fasten the threaded ring (B). In order to fasten the ring (B), disengage the anti-rotation device by pressing it on proper hole (C) with the enclosed tool (D).
Operating Procedure for PLASMA Cutting Wear your safety gear. Generally you want Connect the Earth Clamp securely to Place and hold the torch vertical at the the same type of protective gear as when the work piece or the work bench. edge of the plate.
Operating Procedure & Techniques 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.

Operating Procedure & Techniques 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.
