what do I need to do to get this machine to cut . I set it up on 220 recommended air supply ,it barely cuts 14ga

I'am on 220 also, pressure at 63 psi at 30amp it should cut nice and easy, make sure you got the right set up in your gun, I keep about 1/16 inch from surface.

not really sure why it will barely cut 14ga steel. That is what I mainly cut with mine and so far no problems. Are you sure that both poles from the 220 breaker has a real good connection. Sounds like it is trying to run on 110v.

I use it with an Eastwood 40 cutter rated 5-7 CFM at 20-60 PSI and it works fine. I haven't cut for lengthy periods(short cuts only,) the compressor runs a lot but it works. Make sure you get an air drier for your air line. This is a great little compressor, but if you're plasma cutting, you're probably doing other things too so I would put the money to a larger 60-80 gallon 10+ cfm compressor which is much better suited for garage tool use. I use this little compressor for everything though (blowing sprinkler lines, small media blasting cabinet etc.) I'm always amazed at what this little thing can do. But it runs constantly and after I burn it out, I will buy a much larger compressor more suitable for tool use.

Aurelia, let me go check out the manual, which by the way, really does stink; I must admit the manual stinks. Lookit that: not only does it not mention the wattage range, there is no Underwriter's Laboratory information. Nor is there an information regarding the engine's power. I guess we would mark this up as a con. I do not see a switch on the machine from 110/120 to 220/240.

You will need four of the 24 watt machines. Maybe you need an inline system. Don't think Green Killing machine do one. I had a slight problem and the Green Killng machine IMEDIATLY sent me a replacement controller for free. Good people to deal with. Best ask them their advice - they will not recommend if they feel their equipment is wrong for you.

This air conditioner requires 220 line and 40amps, which I did not have. I had to send this unit back. I hope this helps.

Hi, I sometimes use a 2hp 8gal 125psi compressor that I bought at Harbor Freight Tools. It seems to work well but I have to wait for it to catch up and always try to use the plasma cutter just before the compressor shuts off. I had to buy a high volume female fitting (Milton Brand) because I had problems with the regular cheaper female fitting sometimes not letting air through.

The manual doesn't provide much information about requirements and settings for this machine. Here is what I have learned through using the machine. I think you need about 5 SCFM @ 90 PSI to be happy with the performance. I have a Campbell Hausfeld compressor with a 13 gallon tank which provides 6.3 SCFM @ 90 PSI and it works very well with the ForceCut 40D. I set the pressure regulator on the machine from 55 to 90 PSI depending on the metal thickness. As an example, 65 PSI and 30 AMPS for 1/4 mild steel. I have cut up to one inch thick steel with mine even though it is only rated for 3/4 inch steel. I would recommend this machine as I have been very pleased with mine.

The motor has a thermo cut out to protect the motor If you put to much down pressure the motor will heat up the motor faster, try using mild pressure and see what happens. I did not run my saw that long, project was small and the saw worked great. Good Luck!!

You will have to check the power requirements for the machine. Check both the dC Voltage and amperage to see if it will work. Also check the plug style.

The duty cycle at 200A is 35%,,at 160A is 60%,, at 130A and less is 100%.. I have been using this machine for a while now and the fan is very strong,just make sure it runs when you receive the machine as the fan plugs into the circuit board and it can unplug during shipping as did mine..

Mine works just fine. This power cutting off thing is not normal. Return it asap!

You would need a 'Tripp Lite PR30 30-Amp DC Power Supply 120VAC Input to 13.8VDC Output' or something comparable to it to be able to run this unit from 120v AC house current. You'd be looking at spending another $200 or thereabouts. You'd be better off buying a small 120vAC powered air compressor instead, like a pancake compressor that go for $100 or thereabouts, that would greatly outperform this unit which was made to be used with a running motor 12v system.

Sorry if this sounds too basic but if you dont depress the silver button first then the levers wont go up enough to start the machine also check the circuit breaker in your homes panel. If its not either of those, I would return it. Mine runs great!

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

This cutter works best on 220 V but also quite well on 110 V . It used compressed air which the manual refers to as gas. An average sized air compressor will do the job well. When you purchase this unit, you will have to purchase a new plug, as the one one that is on it can not be matched with a receptical that we have available in the USA. I suggest you put an air dryer ( available at Northern Tools or Harbor Frieght) between the air compressor and the air regulator that mounts on the back of the cutter.

Your owner's manual should give you this information. Otherwise contact the manufacturer of the machine; they may even have an on-line manual.

Let it cool, hold the strip down, and rip. That's the only thing we've figured out. For a machine that had such great reviews it is TERRIBLE!
