Supercut 50 p warning light

[sticks]

Very informative sticks, thanks. For a noob like me, the manual that came with the machine looks like it was written by a kid in China, then translated to English...lol. No help at all. Nowhere in there does it state anything about having an inline water dryer. How would a person know that if they've never used a plasma cutter before? I had to google to find this forum. Thanks for the manual download link. My compressor is 33 gal. Its got a max psi of 150. The output was set between 80-90 psi and on the front of the plasma cutter, the pressure was set around 60 psi. I just don't understand how something can quit working the second time I used it. I definitely dont think I was overloading it. Thanks for the help, sticks. I guess I'll be calling tech support tomorrow, cause I don't see how I could fix it. I just hope they get it back to me soon.

33 gallon tank is 4.4 cubic feet. If it takes your compressor more than 1 minute (4.4 cfm) to fill the tank, you need a bigger compressor. In reality is should take closer to 45 seconds to fill to be in the safe zone. CFM goes down as pressure goes up. Look on your compressor for it's CFM @ PSI rating. As the Everlast tech posted earlier, if the pressure dropped too low, the torch could have shorted internally.

I checked the cfm....It's rated for 6.3 at 40 psi, and 8.2 at 90 psi.

That would not be possible to have less cfm at 40 psi. Is that backwards?

Whoops, I looked at something else..lol. It's 6.3 at 40 psi, and 4.9 at 90 psi.

What size tank?

What size tank?

the tank is 33 gal.

Well, we've come full circle, other than you are sending it back, I'd say do the test with the torch disconnected, or disabled, and see if the compressor can keep up with the cutter when the trigger is depressed. Your CFM @ 90 is awful close to the minimum requirements.
