Plasma cutters are easy to use which can increase in your efficiency, improve your cut quality and prolong the life of your equipment.

Some tips to improve your plasma cutting are:

• Before starting the plasma cutting work read the owner’s manual properly.
• Familiarize yourself with the safe and correct operation of your particular plasma cutter.
• During long cuts, it is difficult to stop, clean and continue.
• Before pulling the trigger just practice the movements so that you can make one continuous cut.
• Use a drag shield if your plasma cutter is equipped with one.
• Use the right tip for your amperage setting.
• A lower amperage tip has a smaller orifice to maintain a narrower plasma stream at lower settings.

The faster your travel speeds, the cleaner your cut will be. When cutting thicker material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, turn down the amperage and change to a lower amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf.
