Intended Use The Klutch P300i is a 16 amp, DC inverter plasma cutter. It is intended for use in cutting through steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals. This unit is designed to cut up to 1/8" steel at a travel speed of 10 inches per minute for a clean cut. It can sever ¼" steel. Plasma cutting does require a source of compressed air and this unit in particular requires a compressed air source that can provide 60 PSI at a rate of 4.5 CFM. The Compressed Air Supply should not exceed 100 PSI. Plasma cutting is an alternative to Oxygen/Acetylene cutting. Since plasma cutting does not require flammable and combustible gases, it is considered a safer alternative to Oxygen/Acetylene cutting. Compressed air and an electrical source is required for plasma cutting but not for Oxygen/Acetylene cutting. The plasma arc is designed to cut through metal and does so efficiently, providing a clean cut edge and very little, if any, warping. This unit is intended to be used on a 20 amp 120V AC circuit without the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord is necessary for your application, use the appropriate size and length of extension cord that will handle 20 amps the entire length of the extension. We highly recommend talking with a qualified electrician for cord size recommendations. Accessories Included: (1) 10.5 ft. Plasma Torch (1) 10 ft. Ground Cable/Clamp (3) Extra Electrodes (3) Nozzles Page 4 of 21

Electrical Shock Plasma cutters can produce a shock that can cause injury or death. Touching electrically live parts can cause fatal shocks and severe burns. While cutting, all metal components connected to the torch are electrically hot. Poor ground connections are a hazard, so secure the ground lead before cutting. Wear dry protective apparel: coat, shirt, gloves, and insulated footwear. Insulate yourself from the work piece. Avoid contacting the work piece or ground. Do not attempt to repair or maintain the plasma cutter while the power is on. Inspect all cables and cords for any exposed wire and replace immediately if found. Use only recommended replacement cables and cords. Always attach ground clamp to the work piece or work table as close to the cutting area as possible. Do not touch the torch and the ground or grounded work piece at the same time. Do not use a plasma cutter to thaw frozen pipes. Fumes and Gases Do not use plasma cutter in the presence of gasoline, diesel, propane, or other flammable liquids. Sparks created from the cutter may ignite liquids or fumes, causing an explosion and serious injury or death. Fumes emitted from the plasma cutting process displace clean air and can result in injury or death. Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the plasma cutting process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and safe. Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove plasma cutting fumes from the environment where you will be working. Do not plasma cut on coated materials (galvanized, cadmium plated or containing zinc, mercury or barium). They will emit harmful fumes that are dangerous to breathe. If necessary use a ventilator, respirator with air supply or remove the coating from the material in the cutting area. The fumes emitted from some metals when heated are extremely toxic. Refer to the material safety data sheet for the manufacturer s instructions. Do not plasma cut near materials that will emit toxic fumes when heated. Vapors from cleaners, sprays and degreasers can be highly toxic when heated. UV and IR Arc Rays The plasma cutting arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and skin. Do not look at the plasma cutting arc without proper eye protection. Always use safety glasses, a shield, or a helmet that meets ANSI Z49.1 standards for plasma cutting. Cover all bare skin areas exposed to the arc with protective clothing and shoes. Flameretardant cloth or leather shirts, coats, pants, or coveralls are available for protection. Use screens or other barriers to protect other people from the arc rays emitted from your plasma cutting. Warn people in your area when you are going to strike an arc so they can protect themselves.

Fire Hazards Do not plasma cut on containers or pipes that contain or have had flammable, gaseous or liquid combustibles in them. Plasma cutting creates sparks and heat that can ignite flammable and explosive materials. Do not operate any plasma cutter in areas where flammable or explosive materials are present. Remove all flammable materials within 35 feet of the plasma cutter. If removal is not possible, tightly cover them with fireproof covers. Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks do not cause fires or explosions in hidden areas, cracks or areas you cannot see. Keep a fire extinguisher close in the case of fire. Wear garments that are oil-free with no pockets or cuffs that will collect sparks. Do not have on your person any items that are combustible, such as lighters or matches. Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown, unintended paths of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards. CAUTION Hot Materials Plasma cut materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly. Do not touch plasma cut materials with bare hands. Do not touch torch after cutting until it has had time to cool down. Electromagnetic Field CAUTION Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as pacemakers. Consult your doctor before using any electric arc welder or cutting device. Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding area when welding. Do not wrap cable around your body while welding. Wrap MIG gun and ground cable together whenever possible. Keep MIG gun and ground cables on the same side of your body. CAUTION Sparks/Flying Debris Plasma cutting creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off cuts can create flying debris. Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, a welder s hat and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair. Page 9 of 21

Setting Up Equipment ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle. This plasma cutter must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. Do not remove the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Use only the supplied adapter between the plasma cutter s power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF when connecting your plasma cutter s power cord directly to a properly grounded 120 VAC, 60 HZ, single-phase, 20 amp input power supply. 1. POWER REQUIREMENT 120V - AC single phase 120V (110-130V) 50/60 HZ fused with a 20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 110 volts AC or greater than 130 volts AC. 2. EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend an extension cord because of the voltage drop they produce. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the plasma cutter. If you need to use an extension cord, check with a qualified electrician and your local electrical codes for your specific area. 3. INSTALLATION OF THE CUTTING TORCH - Your torch should be fully assembled and ready to install. Figure 2 shows the components of the torch head and how those components are installed. a. Connect the Ground Clamp to your workpiece. b. Connect your compressed air source to the gas connection on this units back panel. Figure 2. Page 13 of 21

High voltage danger from power source! Operating Instructions Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle at the power source. This plasma cutter must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapter, other than the supplied adapter, between the plasma cutter's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your plasma cutter s power cord to a properly grounded 120 VAC (110V - 130V), 60 HZ, single phase, 20 amp power source. PLASMA CUTTING OPERATION 1. SET-UP a. Check the plasma cutter to see if it has been connected correctly and is in good working condition as described in INSTALLATION Section and that it complies with safe operation requirements as noted in the IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Section. b. Switch on the power switch of the cutter to observe if the operation is normal. If it is normal, the fan should start up and the Power Indicator Light should be on. If there is no compressed air or the air pressure is low the Low Pressure Indicator Light will be on. c. Adjust the air supply valve until the air pressure is up to the cutting torch requirement. (Lowest pressure is 50 PSI), the Low Pressure Indicator Light will not be lit up in those conditions. d. Adjust the air flow to be sure it is consistent. e. Pull the torch trigger. The cutting operation begins after the cutting plasma pilot arc is made. 2. CUTTING OPERATION a. Metal Sheet Cutting i. Put the torch s nozzle at the start of the work piece. Turn on the torch switch to ignite the plasma pilot. After the work piece is cut thorough, move the torch along the cutting direction uniformly. The cutting speed is determined by watching to see if the cutting goes all the way through. If the speed is too fast, the work piece won t be cut thorough, or if too slow, the cut quality would be affected, excessive warping may occur, or the arc could stop. ii. When you ve completed the cutting process, turn off the torch; the plasma pilot arc will stop. b. Metal Mesh Cutting i. Fix the work piece and connect the earth cable with the work piece. ii. Put the cutting nozzle onto the work piece, lift torch up slightly from the work piece and turn on the switch to cut. Page 14 of 21

c. Notice While Cutting i. Unnecessary igniting of the pilot arc in the air will reduce the life-span of the torch s electrode and nozzle. ii. It is best to start cutting at the edge of the work piece, unless you are piercing the work piece. iii. Keep a space between the nozzle and the work piece. Pressing the nozzle on the work piece could cause the nozzle to stick, reducing the smoothness of the cutting action creating an undesirable result. iv. Keep the torch s nozzle vertical against the work piece, and watch to be sure the arc is moving along the cutting line. v. For thin materials reduce the amperage setting to get the best cutting quality, reduce excessive warping and to extend the life of the electrode and nozzle. vi. Do not rapidly switch the torch trigger on and off; this will damage the pilot arc system and work piece. vii. The plasma cutter s working air pressure range is 50-90 PSI. Notice: the internal pressure switch will shut off when the air pressure falls below 50 PSI. The switch only works when the pressure rises to 50 PSI or above. viii. Every 4-8 hours, check the air filter on your air supply and remove excess moisture. Too much moisture in the cutter or torch may lead to operational trouble. Always unplug the power supply before checking for and removing moisture. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Maintenance Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns.
