Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet, flame-resistant gloves, and protective clothing, when operating plasma cutting or gas torch equipment.
- Ensure the work area is well-ventilated to prevent the accumulation of fumes.
- Keep all flammable materials, liquids, and gases away from the cutting area.
- Have fire extinguishers and welding tarps readily available and know how to use them.
- Be aware of sparks and hot metal debris. The slag catch tray is designed to contain most debris, but caution is still required for falling pieces.
- Do not exceed the table's maximum load capacity of 250 pounds.
- Ensure the table is stable and level before placing any workpiece on it.

Setup and Assembly
The PrimeWeld Plasma Cutting Table is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended to have metric tools (13mm and 16mm sockets/wrenches) available.
- Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Compare with the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Begin assembling the main frame by attaching the legs to the crossbars using the provided bolts and nuts. Do not fully tighten all fasteners until the entire frame is assembled.
- Install the debris shield (slag catch tray) into its designated position. It is important to install this component before the long and short top tubes are fully secured to ensure proper fitment.
- Secure the remaining frame components, ensuring all connections are firm.
- Insert the 23 replaceable slats into the top frame. These slats form the support surface for your workpiece.
- Once the frame and slats are in place, fully tighten all bolts and nuts.
- Attach the leveling feet to the bottom of each leg. Adjust the feet to ensure the table is stable and level on your work surface.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Plasma Cutting Table.
- Slats: Periodically inspect the replaceable slats for wear, damage, or excessive slag buildup. Replace damaged slats promptly to ensure proper workpiece support and cutting quality.
- Slag Catch Tray: After each use, or as needed, clear the slag catch tray of accumulated debris. This prevents buildup and maintains the table's efficiency and safety.
- General Cleaning: Keep the table clean and free of obstructions. Wipe down surfaces as necessary.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and nuts for tightness. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the table's structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Plasma Cutting Table.
- Table Instability: If the table feels wobbly or unstable, ensure all assembly bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the leveling feet are properly adjusted to compensate for uneven floor surfaces.
- Damaged Slats: If slats become excessively worn or damaged from repeated cutting, they should be replaced. New slats can be sourced through PrimeWeld Customer Support.
- Excessive Debris Buildup: If debris is not falling into the catch tray effectively, ensure the tray is correctly positioned and clear of obstructions. Clean the tray regularly.
- Other Issues: For any other operational concerns or questions not covered here, please contact PrimeWeld Customer Support for assistance.
