Setup
Power Connection:
The RBC6000DL supports dual voltage operation (110/120V or 220/240V). It comes pre-installed with a 120V US standard plug.A conversion cord is included to easily switch to 240V.For 240V operation, a 30A circuit breaker is recommended. For 120V operation, a 50A circuit breaker is recommended.Ensure the power source matches the machine's requirements and is properly grounded.
Air Compressor Connection:
An external air compressor is required for operation. The recommended air pressure is 90 PSI with a flow rate of 60L/min.The machine features pre-installed air quick couplings for fast setup. Connect the air filter regulator to the machine and then to your air compressor.Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leaks, which can affect cutting performance.
Torch and Ground Clamp Connection:
Connect the AG60 plasma cutting torch to the designated port on the front panel.Attach the ground clamp cable to the appropriate terminal and secure the clamp to the workpiece or work table, ensuring good electrical contact.

Operating Instructions
Cutting Process:
The RBC6000DL utilizes a non-touch pilot arc, meaning the arc initiates without direct contact between the torch tip and the metal.This feature is particularly beneficial for cutting through painted, rusty, or uneven surfaces.Adjust the current using the knob on the control panel according to the material thickness and type.For optimal results, hold the torch perpendicular to the workpiece and maintain a consistent travel speed.
Cutting Capabilities:
- Under 240V:
- Ideal Clean Cut: 5/8 inch (16mm)
- Max Severance Cut: 4/5 inch (20mm)
- Under 120V:
- Ideal Clean Cut: 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
- Max Cut: 1/2 inch (12.7mm)
This plasma cutter is suitable for cutting a variety of metals, including stainless steel, alloy steel, mild steel, copper, and aluminum.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your plasma cutter.
Consumables:
The plasma torch consumables (tips, electrodes, ceramic nozzles) are wear items and should be inspected regularly.Replace them when signs of wear, such as reduced cut quality or difficulty in arc starting, become apparent.The non-touch pilot arc feature helps extend the lifespan of these consumables.

Air Filter Regulator:
Periodically check and drain any accumulated moisture from the air filter regulator.Clean or replace the filter element as needed to ensure a clean and dry air supply to the plasma torch, which is critical for arc stability and consumable life.
General Cleaning and Storage:
Keep the plasma cutter unit clean and free from dust and metal particles.Store the machine in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.Its lightweight and portable design (8.2 pounds) makes it easy to store and carry.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Reboot RBC6000DL Plasma Cutter, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Arc / Weak Arc:
- Check power supply and circuit breaker.
- Verify air pressure and flow rate from the compressor.
- Inspect torch consumables (tip, electrode, nozzle) for wear and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the ground clamp has a secure and clean connection to the workpiece.
- Poor Cut Quality / Excessive Slag:
- Adjust cutting current (amperage) for the material thickness.
- Check and replace worn consumables.
- Ensure proper torch height and travel speed.
- Verify air quality and ensure the air filter regulator is functioning correctly.
- Air Leaks:
- Inspect all air connections for tightness. Apply thread sealant (e.g., Teflon tape) if needed.
- Check the air hose for kinks or damage.
- Overheat Indication (OC light):
- Allow the machine to cool down. The OC light indicates the machine has exceeded its duty cycle.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
For persistent issues, consult the full instruction manual or contact Reboot customer support.
