FAQs

What type of metals can the plasma cutter cut?

The Draper Expert Plasma Cutter can cut stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals up to 12mm thick.

What power supply is required?

It requires a 230V AC power supply.

Does the plasma cutter come with a plug?

No, a suitable 32A plug must be fitted by a qualified electrician.

What is the duty cycle?

The duty cycle is 60% @40A and 100% @25A.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the plasma cutter, an AG60 plasma cutting torch (4m cable), and a 200A earth clamp (1.8m cable).

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation and never cut near flammable materials.

How do I maintain the plasma cutter?

Regularly clean the cutting torch, check and clean the air filter, and inspect the cables and connections for any damage.

Troubleshooting

The cutter does not start.

Check the power connection, ensure the plug is correctly installed by a qualified electrician, and that the power supply is working. Check the power switch is in the 'on' position.

The cut is uneven or inconsistent.

Check the air supply and ensure the air pressure is correct. Also, inspect the cutting torch for wear or damage. Adjust the cutting speed and amperage.

The cutter is cutting slowly.

Increase the amperage setting, but do not exceed the recommended settings for the material's thickness.

The cutter shuts down during operation.

Allow the machine to cool down. It may have reached its duty cycle limit or triggered the thermal overload protection. Reduce the amperage and/or cut in shorter intervals.

Poor cut quality with excessive dross.

Ensure the correct amperage is set for the metal thickness, and that the torch is held at the correct angle and distance from the workpiece.
