230V Portable Air Plasma Cutter
eed to cut steel? Thinking about an oxy acetylene
cutting torch to do the job? Consider a plasma
cutter. This simple technology uses an electrical arc
and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum, and
other conductive metals.

230 Volt
The AirForce 700i plasma cutter features an inverter
design that is both lightweight and powerful. The
product also features an ergonomic trigger safety,
more efficient air consumption, and economically
priced HP-70 torch consumables. The 700i requires
230 V, 50 A input power and compressed air
delivery of at least 4.8 scfm @ 90 –120 psi.
Maximum cutting of mild steel is 7/8 inch at 50%
duty cycle for heavy-duty production requirements.
Includes:

16.5-ft. (5 m) HP-70 hand-held torch
16.5-ft. (5 m) work cable with clamp
Extra consumables (2 electrodes, 2 tips and 1 air fitting)
10-ft. (3 m) power cord with plug
Easy-to-connect, built-in gas/air filter and regulator for
extra protection
Compared to the complexities of an oxy fuel cutting
torch system, plasma cutting is easy:
Cuts faster than oxy fuel
More precise cut, thinner kerf, less slag to clean up
Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping
No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed
No preheating of metal prior to cutting

Features
Benefits
HP-70 torch
Designed for increased comfort with an ergonomic trigger safety, more efficient cooling and economical replacement
cutting tips.
Wind Tunnel Technology™
Prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components.
™
Fan-On-Demand
Cooling system operates only when needed reducing power consumption and contaminants drawn into the machine.
Power factor correction (PFC) circuitry
Draws up to 30% less amperage for the same cutting range as compared to the competition. PFC expands operators
work area via extension cord, while minimizing nuisance circuit breaker trips caused by voltage drops.
LVC™ line voltage compensation
Provides peak performance power under variable input voltage conditions (±15%) for steady and cleaner-ending cuts.
Internal gas/air filter and regulator
Controls amount of usage and flow of air or gas.
Starts without high frequency
Protects unit by not interfering with or damaging controls or computers.
Diagnostic lights
LED lights for quick troubleshooting of pressure, power and cup situations.
Cable management strap
Secures torch, work cable and power cord to make transporting easy and convenient.
Postflow cooling circuit
Extends life of consumables and torch by cooling them with postflow air after trigger is released.
Compatible with engine-driven welders
Capable of cutting 3/8–5/8 in. mild steel when powered by an engine-driven welder with a 240 V generator power outlet of
8 kW or more.
Hobart’s 5/3/1 Industrial Warranty
Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers);
and one year on guns (MIG and plasma torches).
