SECTION 3:

INSTALLATION

3.01 Site Selection

• Place in a clean and dry area.
• Provide adequate ventilation and fresh air sup-
ply.
• Ideal ambient temperature should not exceed
40°C / 104°F. Temperatures exceeding that may
diminish cutting capacity or quality.
• The cutting machine must be placed on an even,
firm surface so that it stands firmly.
This equipment must be electrically connected
by a qualified electrician.

3.02 Electrical Input Connections

• Input voltage is 230V ± 10%, 50/60 Hz single
phase or three phase.
Check your power source for correct voltage be-
fore plugging in or connecting the unit. The
primary power source, fuse, and any extension
cords used must conform to local electrical code
and the recommended circuit protection and wir-
ing requirements as specified in Section 2.0.

Do not cut in humid or wet surroundings.
• Before you maintain or replace torch parts, wait
for the post flow air cycle (approximately 10 sec-
onds), to stop, then turn the machine off.
• Always use original manufacturers parts. The use
of aftermarket parts could result in shorter parts
life and in unsatisfactory cutting results. Any war-
ranty claims would be waived.
• Worn parts should be recycled according to local
requirements.
Repairs must be done by skilled and qualified
