Maintenance & Servicing

General Maintenance

DISCONNECT PRIMARY POWER AT THE SOURCE AND WAIT FOR THE TORCH
TO COOL BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE TORCH OR TORCH LEADS OR
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION! Maintenance can only be carried out on the unit if the person in charge of this
operation has the necessary technical knowledge and the correct tools. If this is not the case,
contact your nearest service center.
CAUTION! Never access inside the machine (panel removal) or touch the torch (disassembly)
without having disconnected power plug.
ANY INSPECTION PERFORMED UNDER VOLTAGE INSIDE THE MACHINE OR
INSIDE THE TORCH MAY CAUSE SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCKS CAUSED BY DIRECT
CONTACT WITH PARTS UNDER VOLTAGE.
CAUTION! Use only dry compressed air for cleaning. Do not point the jet of air at the
electronic circuits contained within this system.
The Forney 325P Plasma System is a machine that must routinely be maintenanced in order to
keep the system in optimal working condition and to provide long-term value for your investment.
It is recommended to inspect the unit every 3-4 months (depending on the frequency of use). Use
compressed air to remove any dust deposits. The torch shield cup and tip should be periodically
inspected for wear or damage. Replace the tip if it becomes damaged or enlarged compared to its
original size. If surfaces are particularly oxizied, clean them with extra fine abrasive paper. Replace
the air diffuser ring if it is burned or cracked. Replace the electrode when the crater on the end surface
is approximately 0.075". This unit is equipped with a filter for compressed air. The filter is fitted with
a knob for the manual drain of the condensation. Purge periodically to remove the water/oil in the
filter by following the instructions of paragraph, "MANUAL PURGE." Failure to maintain the system, its
consumables and the working environment will decrease the system's performance and produce results
below optimal performance levels.
