Introduction

The LONGEVITY® ForceCut™ series plasma cutters offer a revolutionary new

approach to plasma cutting technology. LONGEVITY® plasma cutters use the

newest technology available in the welding industry with the help of Toshiba internal

components. By producing the units with inverter technology, we are able to produce

smaller and more efficient units. During the manufacturing process, we kept the

maintenance and repair in mind by enabling the internal components of the machine

to be a simply plug and operate circuitry enabling all mother boards to be simply

replaced and swapped out. The ForceCut™ series plasma cutters use special safety-

redundant circuitry with built in auto-protection and self-adjusting circuitry to keep

the machine running at a safe threshold. This helps protect the machine from over-

voltage, power spikes, tip blowouts and shorting

. We hope you enjoy your

LONGEVITY® ForceCut™ series plasma cutter. We are proud of

our achievements in the welding industry, we are thankful you have

chosen to use the LONGEVITY® ForceCut™ series. These Pilot

Arc plasma cutters are superior to High Frequency plasma cutters

because they generator a pilot arc enabling for you to start cutting

without making any contact with the metal workpiece.

Warning

Welding and plasma cutting may be dangerous to the operator and to bystanders, if the

equipment is not operated properly. Welding or cutting must be performed in accordance

with all relevant safety regulations. Carefully read and understand this instruction manual

before installing and operating this equipment.

Changing function modes during welding may damage

equipment.

Before welding, disconnect the electrode-holder cable

from the equipment.

A circuit breaker is required to prevent electrical

overload of the equipment.

Only high quality welding tools should be used.

Electric Shock can be fatal.

Ensure that ground cable is connected in accordance with

applicable safety codes.

Never touch electrodes, wires, or circuit components with

bare hands. Wear dry welding gloves when welding.

The operator must be insulated from the work piece.

Smoke and gas can be harmful to health.

Ensure that the working area is well ventilated.

Avoid breathing smoke and gas generated during the

welding process.

Arc-light emission can be harmful to eyes and skin.

Always wear a welding helmet, anti-radiation glass, and

work clothes while welding.

Ensure that people in or near the working area are

protected.

Welding splash is a fire hazard.

Keep flammable material away from the work place.

Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and have all personnel

trained in it’s use.

Surface noise generated while welding or cutting can be

harmful to hearing.

In the event of a machine fault.

Refer to this instruction manual.

If the fault cannot be determined, contact your local

dealer or supplier for assistance.

Safety Tips

Consider the following tips to ensure safe operation of your welding/cutting

equipment:

Ensure that this welding equipment is installed in an area free of corrosive

chemical gases, flammable gases or materials, and explosive chemicals.

The area should contain little dust, and have a humidity of no more than 80%.

Operate the welding equipment in an area sheltered from direct sunlight and

precipitation. Work area temperature should be maintained at -10C to +40C;

If, because of an overload, the machine suddenly stops, and it is necessary to

restart it, leave the internal fan operating to lower the inside temperature.

Always wear protective clothing and a welding mask to protect your skin.

Wear safety goggles designed to darken the arc generated by your machine.

Wear suitable noise protection to protect your hearing.

Ensure that machine is grounded through the power cord or on the machine case.

Never operate the machine in bare feet or on a wet floor.

Never switch the machine off while it’s in use. Doing so will damage the internal

circuitry.

Ensure that your circuit breaker is rated to handle the current requirements of

your machine.

Use a UL approved receptacles and plugs with your machine. Never hard wire

the machine to main power.

Work in a well ventilated area to avoid smoke. Keep your head out of the smoke.

Ensure that air is flowing away from you to avoid inhaling smoke.

Ensure proper ventilation through the machine’s louvers. Maintain a distance

of at least 12 inches between this cutting equipment and any other objects in the

work area.

Use a screen or curtain designed to keep passers by from viewing the arc.

The arc spray and metal spray from machine use may cause nearby fires. Use

caution.



If, after reviewing this manual, you have any problems in setting up or operating

your machine, contact us at [email protected].
