SAFETY
IMPORTANT: BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR CARRYING OUT
MAINTENANCE ON THE PLASMA CUTTER, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL CAREFUL-
LY, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE
LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY RULES.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR PLASMA CUTTING.
Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The
plasma nozzle and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on.
The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on.
Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
• Connect the primary input cable according to American standards and regulations. ANSI Z49.1.
• Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
• Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit, torch nozzle and work piece with bare
hands. The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the plasma cutting task.
• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the work piece.
• Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable immediately if damaged,
bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
• Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.
• Do not drape cables over your body.
• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to earth.
Fumes and gases are dangerous. Plasma cutting produces fumes and gases. Harmful fumes and
metallic powders are produced during the cutting operation. Metals which are painted or coated or
which contain mercury, zinc, lead and graphite may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes
during cutting. Breathing these fumes and gases can be
hazardous to your health.
• Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes
• Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding fumes and
gases.
• In conned or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
Cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc
can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give o toxic
fumes when cuttung. Do not cut these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing
an air supplied respirator.
• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are
using.These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that
may be dangerous to your health.
MACHINE OPERATING SAFETY
Plasma cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding working
area, if the equipment is not correctly operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehen-
sive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the
installation and operation of this equipment.

Fire hazard. Plasma cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying
sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause res and burns. Accidental contact
of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or re. Check and be sure the area is safe
before doing any cutting.
• The cutting sparks may cause re, therefore remove any ammable materials well away from the working
area. Cover ammable materials and containers with
approved covers if unable to be moved from the welding area.
•Do not Plasma Cut closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are
properly prepared according to the required Safety Standards to insure that ammable or toxic
vapors and substances are totally removed, these can cause an explosion even though the vessel
has been “cleaned”. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding.
They may explode.
• Do not cut where the atmosphere may contain ammable dust, gas, or liquid vapours (such as petrol)
• Have a re extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Be alert that cutting sparks and hot materials
from cutting can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Be aware that cutting
on a ceiling, oor, bulkhead, or partition can cause re on the hidden side.
Gas Cylinders. Do not cut in the vicinity of pressurised gas cylinders or in the presence of explosive
dust, gases or fumes. Gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can
explode. Because gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them
carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
• Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open ames,
sparks, and arcs.
• Insure cylinders are held secure and upright to prevent tipping or falling over.
• Never allow the plasma nozzle or earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder, do not drape welding cables
over the cylinder.
• Never plasma cut on a pressurised gas cylinder, it will explode and kill you.
• Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away from the cylinder outlet valve and gas regulator.
Electronic magnetic elds. The magnetic elds created by the high currents generated by plasma
cutting may aect the operation of pacemakers and other vital electronic medical
equipment.
•Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.
•Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going
near any electric welding, cutting or heating operation.
Noise can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding proce-
dure may produce noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore implement all precautions
required by law. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
Hot parts. Items being plasma cut generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns.
Do not touch hot parts with bare hands. Allow a cooling period before working on the plasma
torch. Use insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts and prevent burns.
Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the plasma cutting process produce in-
tense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin. Protect your eyes
with welding masks or goggles tted with ltered lenses, and protect your body with appropriate
safety garments. Protect others by installing adequate shields or
curtains.
• Always wear a helmet or goggles with correct shade of lter lens and suitable protective clothing including
welding gloves, appron, leg and foot protection whilst the plasma cutting operation is performed.
• Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use protective
screens or barriers to protect others from ash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The gas can be air, ni-
trogen, argon, oxygen. etc. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter. We
all are familiar with the rst three: i.e., Solid, liquid, and gas. Scientists call this additional state plasma. As the metal being cut is
part of the circuit, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to the work. The restricted opening (nozzle)
the gas passes through causes it to squeeze by at a high speed, like air passing through a venturi in a carburettor. This high speed
gas cuts through the molten metal.
Plasma cutting was invented as the result of trying to develop a better welding process. Many improvements then led to making
this technology what it is today. Plasma cutters provide the best combination of accuracy, speed, and aord ability for producing
a variety of at metal shapes. They can cut much ner, and faster than oxy-acetylene torches.
How a plasma cutter works:
Basic plasma cutters use electricity to superheat air into plasma (the 4th state of matter), which is then blown through the metal
to be cut. Plasma cutters require a compressed air supply and AC power to operate.
Operation:
1. When the trigger is squeezed, DC current ows through the torch lead into the nozzle.
2. Next, compressed air ows through the torch head, through the air diuser that spirals the air ow around the
electrode and through the hole of the cutting nozzle.
3. A xed gap is established between the electrode and the nozzle. (The power supply increases voltage in order to
maintain aconstant current through the joint.) Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and super heating the air
creating a plasma stream.
4. Finally, the regulated DC current is switched so that it no longer ows to the nozzle but instead ows from the
electrode to the work piece. Current and airow continue until cutting is stopped.
Notes:
The nozzle and electrode require periodic replacement. The electrode has an insert of tough high conductive material such as
hafnium and cerium. This insert erodes with use, also the nozzle orice will erode with use. Quality of the air used is paramount to
longer life of electrodes and nozzles, in short clean dry air gives longer parts life, the cleaner and dryer the better. We recommend
use of a Plasma Air Filter.
What kinds of materials can the plasma cut?
Virtually any metal can be plasma cut including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, etc. Any thickness from 30 gauge
through 13/16"can be cut, depending on the power of the plasma cutter used.
How Does Plasma Cutting Compare to Oxy-fuel (gas) cutting?
Plasma cutting can be performed on any type of conductive metal - mild steel, aluminium and stainless are some
examples. With mild steel, operators will experience faster, thicker cuts than with alloys. Oxy-fuel cuts by burning, or
oxidizing the metal it is severing. It is therefore limited to steel and other ferrous metals which support the oxidizing
process. Metals like aluminium and stainless steel form an oxide that inhibits further oxidization, making conventional
oxy-fuel cutting impossible. Plasma cutting however does not rely on oxidation to work and thus it can cut aluminium, stainless
and any other conductive material. While dierent gasses can be used for plasma cutting, most people today use compressed air
for the plasma gas. In most shops, compressed air is readily available, and thus plasma does not require fuel gas and compressed
oxygen for operation. Plasma cutting is typically easier for the novice to master, and on thinner materials, plasma cutting is much
faster than oxy-fuel cutting. However, for heavy sections of steel (1" and greater), oxy-fuel is still preferred since oxy-fuel is typi-
cally faster and, for heavier plate applications high powered plasma machines are required for plasma cutting applications.
What are the limitations to Plasma Cutting? Where is Oxyfuel preferred?
The plasma cutting machines are typically more expensive than oxy/acetylene. Also, oxy/acetylene does not require
access to electrical power or compressed air which may make it a more convenient method for some users. Oxyfuel can generally
cut thicker sections (>63/64 inch) of steel more quickly than plasma

4) Pull the trigger to energise the pilot arc.
The cutting arc will start when the nozzle is
moved closer to the edge of the work piece.
When the cutting arc has cut through the
edge of the plate start moving evenly in the
direction you wish to cut,
1) Wear your safety gear. Generally you want the same
type of protective gear as when welding. Plasma has
high arc voltage if the job or bench is wet and you place
your hand or arm on it you can become part of the cir-
cuit and receive a shock, be sure you are wearing leather
gloves, Full lenght pants and covered shoes, Wear eye
protection a #5 shade is the minimum eye protection
with other shades required depending on amperage. A
face shield is also recommended,
Operating procedure using the Stand O Guide mounted to the Plasma torch.
The feet of the stando guide are placed on the cutting surface. This maintains an
optimal 5/64" stando distance between the plasma cutting tip and the work, this is
especially suitable if your hands are unsteady, or if you wish to use a straight edge guide or
pattern guide. It also helps extend tip life.
Cut Quality
A clean cut depends on several factors:
● amperage
● travel speed
● tip height & position
● tip and electrode quality
● air pressure and quality
● technique
The best quality cut will be produced when all these variables are set correctly for the material thickness and type
of material being cut.
Poor quality cut
Good quality cut

12
● Amperage
Standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material the more amperage required.
On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and
change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf. The kerf is the width of the cut material that is removed during cutting.
● Speed
Amperage and speed are critical to producing a good quality cut. The faster you move (especially on aluminium), the cleaner your cut will
be. To determine if you're going too fast or too slow, visually follow the arc that is coming from the bottom of the cut. The arc should exit
the material at a slight angle away from the direction of travel. If it's going straight down, that means you're going too slow, and you'll have
an unnecessary buildup of dross or slag. If you go too fast, it will start spraying back onto the surface of the material without cutting all the
way through. Because the arc trails at an angle, at the end of a cut, slow your cutting speed and angle the torch in to cut through the last bit
of metal.
● Direction
It is easier to pull the torch towards you than push it. The plasma stream swirls as it exits the tip, biting one side and nishing o on the
other leaving a bevelled edge and a straight edge. The bevel cut eect is more noticeable on thicker material and needs to taken into con-
sideration before starting your cut as you want the straight side of the cut to be on the nished piece you keep.
● Torch tip height & position
The distance and postion of the plasma torch cutting tip has an aect on the quality of the cut and the extent of the bevel of the cut.The
easiest way to reduce bevel is by cutting at the proper speed and height for the material and amperage that is being cut.
Correct torch height and square
to the material.
Minimum bevel & equal bevel
Longest consumable life
Torch angled to the material.
Unequal bevel, one side may be
excessively beveled.
Torch height too high.
Excessive bevel, plasma stream
may not cut all the way through
the material
Torch height too low.
Reverse bevel. Tip may
contact the work and short out
or damage the tip.
● Tip size and condition
The tip orices focus the plasma stream to the work piece. It is important to use the correct size tip for the amperage being used, for ex-
ample a tip with a 3/64" orice is good for 0-40 amps whereas a 1/16" orice is better for 40-80 amps. The low-amp tip has a smaller orice
which maintains a narrow plasma stream at lower settings for use on thin-gauge material. Using a 25 amp tip at an 60 amp setting will blow
out and distort the tip orice and require replacement. Conversely, using an 80-amp tip on the lower
settings will not allow you to focus the plasma stream as well and creates a wide kerf. The condition of the tip orice is critical to the quality
of the cut result, a worn or damaged tip orice will produce a distorted plasma stream resulting in a poor cut quality.
● Electrode condition
A xed gap is established between the electrode and the inside of the cutting tip. Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and super
heating the air creating the plasma stream. The electrode contains an insert in the end made of a highly conductive material called hafnium.
This insert erodes with use and develops a pit in the end of the electrode, when the pit becomes too much poor quality cuts will result and
necessitate replacement of the electrode.

● Air pressure and volume
Air pressure, ow rate and air quality are critical to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span.
The required air pressure and volume can vary from model to model and the manufacturer will provide the specs.
The CoreCut45 air pressure is pre-set at 75psi and requires a minimum of 6CFM The volume capacity of your compressor is important, if you
have a small compressor with exactly the same rating as the plasma, then the compressor will run continuously when you are plasma
cutting, a compressor with a l/min rating slightly higher than the plasma would be more adequate. If you are doing a lot of cutting, cutting
thick plate (same air consumption but slower cut speeds = longer cut time) then choose a compressor at 1.5 to 2 times the plasma system
requirement.
● Air quality
Good air quality is essential to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span.
Compressors take in air at atmospheric pressure and increase the pressure and store it in a tank. Humidity in the air is condensed in the
tank and in the airlines producing water, more so in humid environments. Moisture that forms in air lines has a tendency to condense into
larger drops when the air pressure decreases as it is entering the plasma torch. When these droplets enter into the high temperatures (as
much as 19832°f) in the plenum of the torch, they immediately break down into oxygen and hydrogen, which alters the normal chemical
content of air in the torch. These elements will then dramatically change the plasma arc which causes the torch consumable parts to wear
very quickly, alters the shape of the nozzle orice, dramatically aecting cut quality in terms of edge squareness, dross formation, and edge
smoothness. Minimising the moisture in the air supply is absolutely critical to quality plasma cuts and longevity of consumable parts. As a
minimum be sure to drain the receiver (tank) on the air compressor at least daily. Most air plasma systems from reputable manufacturers
have an on board particulate lter and or a coalescing lter with an auto drain that will remove some moisture from the air supply. For home
workshop and light industrial users the on board air lter is adequate. Most situations however will require additional ltration to prevent
moisture from aecting the quality of the plasma cutter and in most cases it is recommended to install a sub micronic particulate lter that
is designed to trap water through absorption. This style of lter has a replaceable lter cartridge that absorbs water and must be changed
after it is near saturation, it should be installed close as possible to the air intake of the plasma cutter.
● Technique Tips
•It is easier to pull the torch through the cut than to push it.
• To cut thin material reduce the amperage until you get the best quality cut.
•Use the correct size tip orice for the amperage being used.
•For Straight cuts use a straight edge or cutting buggy as a guide. For circles, use a template or circle cutting attachment.
•Check that the front end consumable parts of the plasma cutting torch are in good condition.
Sub Micronic Filter example Filter Element example
● Starting a cut
Hold the torch vertical at the edge of the work
piece
Pull the trigger to start the pilot arc.
The cutting arc will initiate when the torch tip
is close enough to the work piece. Start cutting
on the edge until the arc has cut completely
through.
Then, proceed with the cut.
● Hand torch cutting technique
When cutting make sure that sparks are exiting
from the bottom of the work piece.
If sparks are spraying up from the work piece,
you are moving the torch too fast, or you don't
have enough amps set.
Hold the torch vertical and watch the arc as it

for PLASMA Cutting

14
● Piercing
Hold the torch at an angle to the work piece,
pull the trigger to start the arc and slowly
rotate it to an upright position.
When sparks are exiting from the bottom of
the work piece, the arc has pierced through the
material.
When the pierce is complete, proceed with
cutting.
● Safety Trigger Operation
The Plasma torch is supplied with the CORECUT45 machine and has a new design of safety trigger.
Just pull back on the trigger whilst increasing your grip and you will feel the trigger move to the on position.
When you release the pressure it will return to the o position.
