• CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
Page 11 of 22
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the
risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration.
Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two-Prong Plugs
Tools marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.
(See Figure B.)
Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration.

Scope of Application
It is used for the cutting of metal plates such as steel plates, aluminum plates, and stainless steel
plates.
Suitable Working Environment and Working Conditions
• Working temperature：-10℃～+40℃;
• Storage and transportation environment temperature：-25℃～+55℃;
• Air humidity：40℃≤50%；20℃≤90%
Set Up
1. Check the plasma cutter to see if it has been connected correctly and is in good working condition.
2. Turn on the cutter’s power switch to observe and check for normal operation. Be sure the
indicator light is on.
3. Press the torch’s trigger. The cutting operation begins after the cutting plasma pilot arc is made.
Cutting
Metal Sheet Cutting
1. Mount the metal to be cut to the metal welding/cutting table. It should be mounted so that the
cutting debris falls to the cement floor.
2. Attach the work piece and connect the earth cable with the work piece.
3. Place the torch’s nozzle at the start of the work piece. Turn on the torch switch to ignite the
plasma pilot. After the work piece is cut thorough, move the torch along the cutting direction
uniformly. The cutting speed is determined by watching to see if the cutting goes all the way
through. If the speed is too fast, the work piece won’t be cut thoroughly, or if too slow, the cut
quality would be affected, excessive warping may occur, or the arc could stop.
4. When you’ve completed the cutting process, turn off the torch; the plasma pilot arc will stop.
Metal Mesh Cutting
1. Mount the metal to be cut to the metal welding/cutting table. It should be mounted so that the
Page 15 of 22
cutting debris falls to the cement floor.
2. Attach the work piece and connect the earth cable with the work piece.
3. Place the cutting nozzle onto the work piece, lift the torch up slightly from the work piece, and turn
on the switch to cut.
Nozzle and Electrode Replacement
1. Make sure the power switch is OFF.
2. Twist-off the nozzle cover. Screw out the nozzle, diffuser, and electrode.
3. Take a new replacement electrode and twist-on the torch head.
4. Screw on the diffuser, replacement nozzle, and nozzle cover.
Note:
1. The torch is equipped with a 5 seconds safety shut-off when away from the cut material. To avoid
this shut-off, the tip of the torch should remain in light contact with the cut material throughout the
cut (no more than 1.6 mm away).
2. You can use the attached spanner for twisting. See the following figure.
Note:
1. If too much current is drawn from the plasma cutter, the thermal protector will activate and the
YELLOW overheating LED will illuminate. The plasma cutter will automatically shut down until it
cools, then you may resume cutting again.
2. Unnecessary igniting of the pilot arc in the air will reduce the life-span of the torch’s electrode and
nozzle.
3. It is best to start cutting at the edge of the work piece, unless you are piercing the work piece.
4. Keep a space between the nozzle and the work piece. Pressing the nozzle on the work piece
could cause the nozzle to stick, reducing the smoothness of the cutting action and creating an
undesirable result.
Plasma Cutting Techniques
1. Using a plasma cutter is a skill that requires time and effort. Practice striking and maintaining an
arc on scrap work pieces before beginning work. This will help you gauge the best settings for the
plasma cutter for the material at hand.
2. You can cut any metal that will conduct electricity up to approximately 5 mm thick mild steel or
equivalent. Very thin or very thick metals are more difficult to cut cleanly.
Page 16 of 22
3. Move the cutting head more slowly for thicker and harder metals, and more quickly for thin or soft
metals. Keep the cutting head moving while cutting.
4. Keep the torch’s nozzle vertical against the work piece, and watch to be sure the arc is moving
along the cutting line.
5. For thin materials, reduce the amperage setting to get the best cutting quality, to reduce
excessive warping, and to extend the life of the electrode and nozzle.
6. Do not rapidly switch the torch trigger on and off. This will damage the pilot arc system and work
piece.
After Each Use
⚠WARNING
Turn the power switch of the plasma cutter to the OFF position and unplug the plasma cutter from its
electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures to prevent
serious injury from accidental operation.
When Cutting is Complete
1. Release the trigger on the cutting torch and lift the torch from the work piece.
2. Press the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Set the cutting torch down on the metal workbench.
4. Unplug the power cord from its electrical outlet.
5. Allow all components of the plasma cutter to completely cool. Store the unit indoors, out of the
reach of children.
