
Plasma burner 8

is not ready for

operation?
Sparks fl y

upwards, instead
of down through

the material?


Initial cut but not

completely drilled
through?
Slag formation on

interfaces?


Consumables

wear quickly?

Current switch is switched off.
Air transmission is restricted.
Workpiece is not connected to
the ground terminal.
Burner sleeve 8c does not
penetrate the material.
Burner sleeve 8c is too far
away from the material.
Apparently material was not
grounded properly.
Lifting speed is too quick.
Potential connection problem.
Tool/material creates heat.
Cutting speed too low or
current too high.
Plasma burner component
parts are worn 8b , 8c
Performance was
overstretched.
Arc control time exceeded.
Incorrect plasma burner
assembly.
Insuffi cient air supply,
pressure too low.
Faulty air compressor.
Switch the current switch to

"on".
Another indication of this is

a green fl ame. Check the air
supply.
Check the connections.

Increase the current.

Reduce the distance between

the burner sleeve
material.
Check the connection for

correct grounding.
Reduce the speed.

Check all connections.

Allow the material to cool

down and then continue
cutting.
Increase the speed and/or

reduce the current until the
, 8d , 8e .
slag has been reduced to a
minimum.
Check and replace worn

parts.
Material too thick, increase

the angle to avoid material
from being blown back into
the tip.
Do not control the arc for

more than 5 seconds. You can
also start with contact
between the burner sleeve
and metal or with a 3.2 mm
distance to the metal.
Check the air fi lter, increase

the air pressure.
Check the performance of

the external air compressor
and make sure the pressure
is 4–4.5 bar.
