MACHINE CONTROLS

START / RESUME: Push to start cutting or resume cutting after a pause. If the torch has been

manually positioned off the cut path, the machine will move the torch towards the cut and swing

it into the cut line when reached.

STOP / PAUSE: Computer control is interrupted when pushed until the START / RESUME

button is pushed. If pushed while running, the torch is shut off and the machine stops. Pushing

the START / RESUME button again will resume the cut. When the STOP / PAUSE button is

pushed, the machine can be manually positioned by the MANUAL JOG switch; this does not

change the home reference position unless the RESET button is pushed.

RESET: Resets the computer when pushed and makes whatever position the machine is in the

home position. If the torch or pipe is moved by the MANUAL JOG switch, upon releasing it, the

machine will return to the home position.

SPEED KNOB: Controls the tangential speed of the torch along the cut, from zero to maximum.

The speed will depend on the diameter of the pipe. When the torch arm is moving in or out, the

rotational speed will slow down to keep the resultant speed constant.

MANUAL JOG: When pushed up or down the pipe will jog in the corresponding direction.

When pushed left or right the torch arm will move in the corresponding direction.

CONTACT OUTPUT: When the machine is set-up for plasma cutting the contact relay box

connection is made here. When the machine is set up for oxy-fuel cutting, the manifold solenoid

connection is made here.

PENDANT CONTROL CONNECTION: The programming pendant connection is made here.

POWER CORD: Connect the appropriate voltage 120 or 240 VAC to the machine. Verify which

model you have before applying power.

POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates that power is being supplied to the machine.

POWER ON / OFF: Switches power “ON” or “OFF”.

CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects the machine against overload or electrical faults.

MIRROR IMAGE SWITCH: Enables the user to cut mirror image cuts of various cut types.

Simply program the cut with the switch on the standard cut position “S”, then toggle the switch to

the mirror image position “M” to cut a mirror image of the programmed cut.
