not delivering
sufficient power to the
power supply.

adjustment knob is set
too high for the input
circuit.
• The general-purpose
nozzle and shield are
being used with an
input circuit of
120 VAC.
• The input circuit is not
delivering sufficient
power to the power
supply.
• The operator is holding
the torch too far from
the workpiece when
cutting.
• The extension cord is
too long, is damaged,
or is not capable of
delivering sufficient
power to the power
supply.
• Turn down the cutting current.
See Adjust the gas pressure

consumables when operating
the system on a 120 VAC input
circuit. See Choose the

whenever possible.
• Avoid stretching the arc. Drag
the torch on the workpiece. See
Edge start on a workpiece on

• Operate the system without
using an extension cord. If you
must use an extension cord,
use a heavy conductor cord of
the shortest possible length.
