FKD Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Dont own one of that make but usually on a plasma the only light other than the power supply is the low air warning light, could be the solenoid or what controls it or even a simple blockage I would start checking there...

turbonutter Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 iv never used a plasma so dont realy know what im doing but it seems to have good air flow , if i power it up and hit the air switch it will blast air from the nozzle theres 4 lights on the front of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKD Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Did a little checking on the model and I see its an inverter type which could mean bad news (lots of electronics etc to go wrong unlike solid state) but before you give up! Have you check the condition of the torch consumables? also have you tried to use it ie put the earth clamp on and strike an arc, I say this as some only work when the torch tip is in contact with the work piece others like mine need an 0.5-1mm air gap to work at there best... Hope this helps good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonutter Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 yep tryed different things with it , but nothing think ill pull it apart and check all looks ok , but think it will be something electric as the thermal cut out light is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
