14. The MagnaCut XM should not be used without a Guide Strip when working on vertical pipe. Contact the Mathey
Dearman Sales Department when application is for a Machine Torch longer than 12 inches.
15. Due to there being several sizes and weights of Plasma Machine Torches, Mathey Dearman should be contacted
prior to using a Plasma Machine Torch with the MagnaCut XM.
16. Do not operate the MagnaCut XM with the Cover (10) removed from the Base Unit (19).
17. To position the Machine Torch at 90º to the pipe or plate surface, the Torch (A) should be at a minimum distance of
5 inches from the MagnaCut XM Heat
Shield (3).
18. MagnaCut XM should at no time be operated without the Heat Shield (3). Failure to do so may damage magnetism
and may cause the machine to release from the pipe.

without the Authorization of Mathey Dearman, Inc.
20. Always follow the Torch Manufacturers Operating Instruction when using the Machine Torch and Torch Angle
Head Adapter.
21. Never use a cigarette lighter to ignite the cutting torch.
22. A Heat-Resistant Shield should be used to protect nearby walls from sparks and hot material.
23. Adequate ventilation is required to prevent the concentration of oxygen/fuel, gas and/or other toxic fumes.
24. Always use eye protection to protect your eyes from sparks, flying slag and the brilliant flame.
25. Do not store grease, gasoline or other flammable material in the area where the pipe or plate is being cut.
28. Flame should not be directed toward the oxygen or fuel cylinders.
29. Always have a fire extinguisher of the proper size and type in the work area.
30. Inspect the general area for flame or smoldering materials when work has been completed.
Section 8 - Set-up and Operation
Read and understand the operating instruction prior to operating the MagnaCut XM.
MagnaCut XM is designed for use with a 2 Hose Machine Fuel Torch (A) having a 1 3/8-inch /35mm barrel diameter with
32-pitch rack or metric rack. (I.e.: Harris 98-6E with 32-pitch rack, Victor MT210A with 32-pitch rack, Smith SC770 with
32-pitch rack or equivalent). Refer to the Torch Manufacturer’s Cutting Tip and Tip Flow Charts for the correct tip,
regulator pressures, and travel speed.
Set-Up
Step 1: Remove the MagnaCut XM from its Polyurethane Storage Box.
(Do not remove by holding/or pulling on the Torch Arm.)
Step 2: Set the machine on a clean, non-magnetic surface to avoid the collection of grinding fines, slag and other debris
in the wheels.
Step 3: If the MagnaCut XM was previously used, check the Gear Rack of the Torch Arm (B) for slag or other debris
and remove it with the Stainless Steel or Brass Brush provided in the Storage Box.
Note: Do not use air to remove the slag or other debris from the Gear Rack of the Torch Arm as this may cause the
Torch Arm (B) not to function Due to slag lodging in the gear rack.
Step 4: Install Torch Support (9) on the Torch Arm (B) until it is flush with the end of the Torch Arm.
Step 5: Use a 3/16-inch Allen Wrench furnished with the MagnaCut XM to tighten the Setscrew (26) in the Torch
Support (9) to secure it to the Torch Arm (B).
Step 6: Install the Torch Holder Assembly (8) on Torch Support (9) and turn the Ratchet Handle (M) clockwise, until the
Torch Holder Assembly is held in a fixed position on the Torch Support.
Step 7: Mount the Torch Hose Support (24) to the side of the Cover (10) with the #10-24NC x 1 inch long Socket-Head
Allen Screws (25) provided in the Storage Box. Tighten both Socket-Head Allen Screws (25) until snug with the
5/32 inch Allen Wrench (provided in the Storage Box).
