Torch Assembly (If Required) - Forney 325P Manual De Instrucciones

POWER SOURCE HANDLING & POSITIONING
• Position your Forney 325P Plasma System near a 120V power receptacle.
• Choose a location with good air flow and ensure no dust, smoke or gas is present.
• Place the unit on a flat and stable surface.
• Make sure obstacles do not prevent the cooling air flow out the front and rear openings of
the machine.
• Arrange an open space of at least 15 feet (5m) around the machine.
• If the machine has to be moved, always disconnect the plug from the outlet and gather the
cables so as not to damage them.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUNDING
• To ensure personal safety, proper operation, and to reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI), the Forney 325P must be properly grounded.
• The power supply must be grounded through the power cord according to national and local
electrical standards.
• Single-phase service must be of the 3-wire type with a green or green/yellow wire for the
protective earth ground. Do not use 2-wire service.
AIR/GAS SUPPLY
• Your Forney 325P Plasma System does not include a built-in piston air compressor; therefore,
a source of clean, dry air or nitrogen must be supplied to your plasma cutting unit.
The supply pressure must be between 60 and 80 PSI. NOTE: The unit will not operate if the
•
input air pressure is below 55 PSI. The flow rate is approximately 3.5 cu.ft./min.
• Failure to observe these parameters could result in excessive operating temperatures and/or
damage to torch.
MANUAL PURGE
• Oil and moisture in the air may damage the machine.
• The unit is equipped with an air filter, which captures the water and oil vapor in the
atmosphere.
• Water contained in the filter glass can be drained by pushing upward on the drain
connector.
