Hello All,
I am new to this forum, so....... Hello ;)
I bought a Super200P TIG/ARC/PLASMA cutter from EVERLAST about two or so months ago and I have a question....
I was using the Plasma cutter yesterday to cut some sheet metal when all of a sudden it stopped working. I can not get any sort of an arc "electricity" out of the plasma tip when I depress the trigger on the plasma cutter. I can here what sounds like a relay kick in when I depress the trigger, but no arc. I switched to the TIG setting and pushed the button and and can hear a relay and also a high frequency electricity sound when I depress the trigger... Before this happened, the machine made this same sound when on the Plasma Cutter setting as well.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? I tested out the ARC and TIG functions and the TIG torch still works as well as the ARC stick. I am really kind of frustrated as the machine was working fine up till now.... and I had just gotten done building the main part of a movable welding table for it... I was really looking forward to being able to practice my TIG welds and using the Plasma cutter, which I love how easy it cuts through sheet metal... :cry:
Thanks in advance for any help/information.....
