SECTION 4 OPERATION
4.2 CUTTING WITH THE PT-32EH
Use the following procedures to cut with the PT-32EH torch (Figure 4-4).
1. Make sure that the wall disconnect switch is on. Turn on the Power
Switch to the cutting power source console.
2. Set Pressure Regulator to 75-80 psig (5.2-5.5 bar).
3. Hold the torch nozzle approximately 1/8 in. to 3/16 in. (3.2mm-
4.7mm) above the work and tilted at about 15 - 30°. This reduces
the chance of spatter entering the nozzle. If the PT-32EH's standoff
guide P/N 0558002393 is being used, the distance between
Electrode and Work Piece will be approx. 3/16in. (.47mm).
4. Depress the torch switch. Air should flow from the torch nozzle.
5. Two seconds after depressing the torch switch, the pilot arc should
start. The main arc should immediately follow, allowing the cut to
begin. (If using the trigger LOCK mode, torch switch may be
released after establishing the cutting arc.)
6. After starting the cut, the torch should be maintained at a 5-15°
forward angle (Figure 4-2). This angle is especially useful in
helping to create a "drop" cut. When not using the standoff guide,
the nozzle should be held approximately 1/4 in. (6.4mm) from the
work.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do NOT operate the unit with the
cover removed.
• Do NOT apply power to the unit while
holding or carrying the unit.
• Do NOT touch any torch parts
forward of the torch handle (nozzle,
heat shield, electrode, etc.) with
power switch on.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin;
NOISE can damage hearing.
• Wear welding helmet with No. 6 or 7
lens shade.
• Wear eye, ear, and body protection.
