Clarke 6016000 King 35N Plasma Cutter F.A.Q.

What is the recommended duty cycle for the Clarke 6016000 King 35N Plasma Cutter?

The Clarke 6016000 King 35N Plasma Cutter has a recommended duty cycle of 35% at 35 amps. This means you can operate the cutter for 3.5 minutes continuously within a 10-minute period at maximum amperage.

How do I troubleshoot if the plasma cutter is not turning on?

First, check the power supply and ensure the unit is plugged in securely. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Inspect the power switch to ensure it is functioning properly. If the issue persists, consult the user manual for further diagnostic steps.

What maintenance steps should be taken regularly to ensure optimal performance of the plasma cutter?

Regularly clean the exterior and vents of the plasma cutter to prevent dust buildup. Inspect and replace consumables such as the electrode and nozzle when worn. Ensure all connections are tight and that the air filter is clean.

How do I set up the Clarke 6016000 King 35N Plasma Cutter for the first time?

To set up the plasma cutter, connect the air supply to the cutter and set the air pressure to the recommended level. Attach the ground clamp to a clean, bare metal surface. Plug in the power cord and set the desired amperage based on the material thickness.

What could cause a reduction in cutting quality with the plasma cutter?

Poor cutting quality can result from worn consumables, incorrect air pressure, or a worn electrode. Ensure that the workpiece is clean and that the torch speed and angle are appropriate for the material being cut.

How do I replace the electrode and nozzle on the plasma cutter?

Turn off the plasma cutter and disconnect it from the power source. Remove the retaining cap, then carefully remove the old electrode and nozzle. Insert the new electrode and nozzle, ensuring they are seated properly, and reattach the retaining cap.

Why is there excessive spatter when cutting with the plasma cutter?

Excessive spatter can be caused by incorrect travel speed, torch angle, or worn consumables. Adjust the cutting speed and angle, and check the condition of the nozzle and electrode. Replace them if necessary.

Can the Clarke 6016000 King 35N Plasma Cutter cut through painted or rusted metal?

Yes, it can, but for best results, it is recommended to remove paint or rust from the metal surface to ensure a clean cut. This prevents contamination of the torch and improves cutting efficiency.

What safety precautions should I take while using the plasma cutter?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing. Ensure proper ventilation in the work area and avoid contact with water when operating the plasma cutter.

How do I adjust the air pressure for optimal cutting performance?

Refer to the user manual for the recommended air pressure settings based on material type and thickness. Use the regulator on the air compressor to adjust the pressure accordingly. Ensure the pressure is stable during operation.
