1. Make sure the PRO-CUT 80 is
reconnected correctly for the
input voltage being applied. Be
sure to remove input power
and wait at least one minute
before changing the position
of the input voltage range
switch.
1. Perform the Primary Power
Board Resistance Test and
Capacitor Voltage Test.
2. Perform the Input Rectifier
Test.
3. The control board may be
faulty. Replace.
4. The primary power board may
be faulty. Replace.
The machine powers up properly,
but there is no response when the
gun trigger is pulled. Only the

restrictions for air flow in the
torch cable.
1. Perform the Torch Continuity
and Solenoid Test.
2. Perform the Low Voltage
Circuit Test.
