“Exceeding Customer Expectations Through Performance Excellence"

Valued Thermadyne Distributor,

Through continued testing, Thermal Dynamics recently discovered a potential problem with the AirCut 15C.

The potential exists for electrical shock if the unit is plugged into an ungrounded outlet. While the AirCut 15C

comes standard with a ground plug and can only be plugged into a grounded outlet, voltage leakage at the

torch and ground clap may cause a shock if the ground terminal in the outlet is wired incorrectly.

Thermal Dynamics has found a solution to this issue and is implementing a design change to correct. At

this time, we are contacting all distributors who have purchased the AirCut 15C to arrange for a replacement

to be provided.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
