SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These safety precautions are for protection of safety and health. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Be careful to read and follow all cautions and warnings. Protect yourself and others. Welding and cutting processes produce high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause se- vere skin burn and damage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely malfunction while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding. Serious injury or death may occur! Welding and plasma cutting processes generate electro-magnetic fields and radiation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued WARNING! Electrical shock can kill. Make sure all electrical equipment is properly grounded. Do not use frayed, cut or otherwise damaged cables and leads. Do not stand, lean or rest on ground clamp. Do not stand in water or damp areas while welding or cutting. Keep work surface dry. Do not use welder or plasma cutter in the rain or in extremely humid conditions.

Plan the unit’s daily use around the recommended average cut thickness for best results and speed. This is an industry standard recommendation and is not unique to Everlast PowerPlasma models. CNC cut thickness is further reduced as it is typically a 100% duty cycle operation which will require a lower maximum amp setting.
Manual post-flow control is a unique feature with the welder will automatically stop welding when an over- Everlast and provides better post flow control of the heat condition has occurred. Heat will continue to be air so consumable life is increased and the torch can generated by and transferred to the electronics after be cooled for an extended period of time if desired.

Less than 5% THD is preferred. Operating the unit on square wave output or modified sine wave generators is strictly prohibited. Contact the manufacturer of the generator for this information. Everlast does not have an “approved” list of generators.
Section 3 Basic theory and function The design of the blow back start may cause a slight delay in the arc as the air pressure must built inside the torch tubing and head to create the pressure needed to force the electrode off the nozzle seat. This may take up to a sec- ond.

Having trouble setting up your unit for best cutting? Try the following: Keep your standoff to less than 1/8” distance from the work piece. • Always use dry air. Drain compressor daily to improve effectiveness of air • dryers and to prevent them from prematurely failing. Make sure work clamp is attached directly to the part being cut.
