SAFETY
IMPORTANT: BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR CARRYING OUT
MAINTENANCE ON THE PLASMA CUTTER, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS
MANUAL CAREFULLY, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL
USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY RULES.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR PLASMA CUTTING.
Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe
burns. The plasma nozzle and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on.
The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on.
Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
• Connect the primary input cable according to Australian and New Zealand standards and regulations.
• Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
• Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit, torch nozzle and work piece with bare
hands. The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the plasma cutting task.
• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the work piece.
• Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable immediately if damaged,
bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
• Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.
• Do not drape cables over your body.
• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to earth.
Fumes and gases are dangerous. Plasma cutting produces fumes and gases. Harmful
fumes and metallic powders are produced during the cutting operation. Metals which are
painted or coated or which contain mercury, zinc, lead and graphite may produce harmful
concentrations of toxic fumes during cutting. Breathing these fumes and gases can be
hazardous to your health.
• Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes
• Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding fumes and
gases.
• In confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
Cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc
can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give off toxic
fumes when cuttung. Do not cut these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing
an air supplied respirator.
• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are
[Link] MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that
may be dangerous to your health.

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. Protect others by installing adequate shields or
curtains.
• Always wear a helmet or goggles with correct shade of filter lens and suitable protective clothing including
welding gloves, appron, leg and foot protection whilst the plasma cutting operation is performed.
• Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use protective
screens or barriers to protect others from flash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
Fire hazard. Plasma cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to
explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns.
Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check
and be sure the area is safe before doing any cutting.
• The cutting sparks may cause fire, therefore remove any flammable materials well away from the working
area. Cover flammable materials and containers with approved covers if unable to be
moved from the welding area.
•Do not Plasma Cut closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are
properly prepared according to the required Safety Standards to insure that flammable
or toxic vapors and substances are totally removed, these can cause an explosion even
though the vessel has been “cleaned”. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating,
cutting or welding. They may explode.
• Do not cut where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapours (such as petrol)
• Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Be alert that cutting sparks and hot materials
from cutting can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Be aware that cutting
on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden side.
Gas Cylinders. Do not cut in the vicinity of pressurised gas cylinders or in the presence of
explosive dust, gases or fumes. Gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged,
a cylinder can explode. Because gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be
sure to treat them carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
• Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames,
sparks, and arcs.
• Insure cylinders are held secure and upright to prevent tipping or falling over.
• Never allow the plasma nozzle or earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder, do not drape welding cables
over the cylinder.
• Never plasma cut on a pressurised gas cylinder, it will explode and kill you.
• Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away from the cylinder outlet valve and gas regulator.
Electronic magnetic fields. The magnetic fields created by the high currents generated by
plasma cutting may affect the operation of pacemakers and other vital electronic medical
equipment.
• Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.
• Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going
near any electric welding, cutting or heating operation.
Noise can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding
procedure may produce noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore implement all
precautions required by law. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
Hot parts. Items being plasma cut generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns.
Do not touch hot parts with bare hands. Allow a cooling period before working on the plasma
torch. Use insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts and prevent burns.

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. We all are familiar with the first three: i.e., Solid, liquid, and gas. Scientists call this additional state
plasma. As the metal being cut is part of the circuit, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to
the work. The restricted opening (nozzle) the gas passes through causes it to squeeze by at a high speed, like air passing
through a venturi in a carburettor. This high speed gas cuts through the molten metal.
Plasma cutting was invented as the result of trying to develop a better welding process. Many improvements then led to
making this technology what it is today. Plasma cutters provide the best combination of accuracy, speed, and afford ability
for producing a variety of flat metal shapes. They can cut much finer, and faster than oxy-acetylene torches.
Operation:
1. When the trigger is squeezed, DC current flows through the torch lead into the nozzle.
2. Next, compressed air flows through the torch head, through the air diffuser that spirals the air flow around the
electrode and through the hole of the cutting nozzle.
3. A fixed gap is established between the electrode and the nozzle. (The power supply increases voltage in order to
maintain a constant current through the joint.) Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and super heating the air
creating a plasma stream.
4. Finally, the regulated DC current is switched so that it no longer flows to the nozzle but instead flows from the
electrode to the work piece. Current and airflow continue until cutting is stopped.
Air Diffuser
Electrode Insert
Nozzle Electrode
Notes:
The nozzle and electrode require periodic replacement. The electrode has an insert of tough high conductive material
such as hafnium and cerium. This insert erodes with use, also the nozzle orifice will erode with use. Quality of the air
used is paramount to longer life of electrodes and nozzles, in short clean dry air gives longer parts life, the cleaner and
dryer the better. We recommend use of a Plasma Air Filter.

or the travel speed is too fast.
The best quality cut will be produced when all these variables are set correctly for the material thickness
and type of material being cut.
12
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. The kerf is the width of the cut material that is removed
during cutting.
● Speed
Amperage and speed are critical to producing a good quality cut. The faster you move (especially on aluminium), the cleaner your
cut will be. To determine if you're going too fast or too slow, visually follow the arc that is coming from the bottom of the cut.
The arc should exit the material at a slight angle away from the direction of travel. If it's going straight down, that means you're
going too slow, and you'll have an unnecessary buildup of dross or slag. If you go too fast, it will start spraying back onto the
surface of the material without cutting all the way through. Because the arc trails at an angle, at the end of a cut, slow your cutting
speed and angle the torch in to cut through the last bit of metal.
● Direction
It is easier to pull the torch towards you than push it. The plasma stream swirls as it exits the tip, biting one side and finishing off
on the other leaving a bevelled edge and a straight edge. The bevel cut effect is more noticeable on thicker material and needs to

Longest consumable life way through the material out or damage the tip.
● Electrode condition
A fixed gap is established between the electrode and the inside of the cutting tip. Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and super
heating the air creating the plasma stream. The electrode contains an insert in the end made of a highly conductive material called
hafnium. This insert erodes with use and develops a pit in the end of the electrode, when the pit becomes too much poor quality
cuts will result and necessitate replacement of the electrode.
13
Operating Procedure & Techniques
for PLASMA Cutting
● Air quality
Good air quality is essential to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span.
Compressors take in air at atmospheric pressure and increase the pressure and store it in a tank. Humidity in the air is condensed
in the tank and in the airlines producing water, more so in humid environments. Moisture that forms in air lines has a tendency
to condense into larger drops when the air pressure decreases as it is entering the plasma torch. When these droplets enter into
the high temperatures (as much as 11,000°C) in the plenum of the torch, they immediately break down into oxygen and hydrogen,
which alters the normal chemical content of air in the torch. These elements will then dramatically change the plasma arc which
causes the torch consumable parts to wear very quickly, alters the shape of the nozzle orifice, dramatically affecting cut quality in
terms of edge squareness, dross formation, and edge smoothness. Minimising the moisture in the air supply is absolutely critical to
quality plasma cuts and longevity of consumable parts. As a minimum be sure to drain the receiver (tank) on the air compressor at
least daily.
Most air plasma systems from reputable manufacturers have an on board particulate filter and or a coalescing filter with an auto
drain that will remove some moisture from the air supply. For home workshop and light industrial users the on board air filter is
adequate. Most situations however will require additional filtration to prevent moisture from affecting the quality of the plasma cutter
and in most cases it is recommended to install a sub micronic particulate filter that is designed to trap water through absorption.
This style of filter has a replaceable filter cartridge that absorbs water and must be changed after it is near saturation, it should be
installed close as possible to the air intake of the plasma cutter.
● Technique Tips
• It is easier to pull the torch through the cut than to push it.
• To cut thin material reduce the amperage until you get the best quality cut.
• Use the correct size tip orifice for the amperage being used.
• For Straight cuts use a straight edge or cutting buggy as a guide. For circles, use a template or circle cutting attachment.
• Check that the front end consumable parts of the plasma cutting torch are in good condition.
