TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)
The Amperage setting may be too high;
try cutting at a lowest setting possible for
the metal being cut.
FAST NOZZLE WEAR
OR
EXCESSIVE SLAG FORMATION
Take into account the thickness and type
of metal to be cut before you start. Thin-
ner materials will typically require lower
amp settings.
PROBLEMS
REDUCED
Disconnect the Torch Cables.
Disassemble the torch assembly and
inspect all internal components, as ex-
plained on page 13.
Replace any damaged or missing compo-
nents and reassemble carefully, following
the directions on page 13.

COMPONENTS FOUND
Air supply pressure may be inadequate:
a. Verify that the compressor is delivering
at least 3.5 CFM @ 65 PSI to the tool.
b. The Regulator on the unit must be set
to at least 60 PSI.
These two problems have similar causes
and will often appear simultaneously.
The same diagnostic procedures and
remedies apply to both.
