Setup Tips
Always connect clean, dry compressed air
Use a moisture trap or inline air filter
Ensure work clamp is tightly connected to clean metal
Keep torch at a steady distance and move at consistent speed
Pilot arc models can start without contact — ideal for painted/rusted metal
Frequently Asked Questions
Why won’t my plasma cutter start or cut?
Check the earth connection, ensure dry air is flowing, and verify the torch is correctly triggered. You should hear a click and air flow before the arc.
Why does my cut look rough or irregular?
This may be due to worn tips/electrodes, torch height too high, or inconsistent air pressure. Maintain 1.5 mm torch height and replace consumables regularly.
What air pressure should I use for different materials?
Typically, 4.5 to 6.5 bar depending on the thickness and material type. Refer to the settings table above for exact ranges.
Can I use this plasma cutter on painted or rusted metal?
Yes, especially if it’s a pilot arc model, which doesn’t require direct contact to start the arc—ideal for rough or dirty surfaces.
What safety gear should I use when cutting?
Use proper gloves, safety goggles or a cutting shield, and work in a well-ventilated area. Always wear PPE when operating plasma cutting tools.
