4.04 Preparations for Operating

Follow this set-up procedure each time the system is op-
erated:

WARNING

Disconnect primary power at the source before dis-
assembling the power supply, torch, or torch leads.

A. Torch Parts Selection

Check the torch for proper assembly and appropriate front
end torch parts. The torch parts (shield cup, tip and elec-
trode) must correspond with the type of operation (cut-
ting or gouging).

B. Check Primary Power Source

1. Check the power source for proper input voltage.

Make sure the input power source meets the power
requirements for the unit per Section 2.03-A-4, Speci-
fications/Design Features.

2. Connect the input power cable (or close the main dis-

connect switch) to supply power to the system.

C. Gas Selection

Select desired gas (compressed air only). Make sure air source
meets pressure and flow requirements (refer to Section 3.08,
Gas Connections). Check connection and turn air supply on.

D. Work Cable Connection

Check for a solid and clean work cable connection to the
workpiece or cutting table. The area must be free from
paint and rust.

E. Torch Connection

Check that the torch is properly connected.

F. Power Supply On

Move the ON/OFF switch to ON position.

G. Select Output Current

Select the desired current output level for the operation.
At output settings higher than 35 amps, the power sup-
ply automatically reduces output current to 35 amps if
the torch tip touches the workpiece.

15 to 80 amps for standoff cutting and gouging

15 to 35 amps for drag cutting
