I asked MG Industries and they said "only use shielded on a machine".But when I look at the manual,it only lists unshielded for 40 amps.
On the list for the 40 amp parts it shows two Shield caps,one has a seperate deflector the other has not.Which should I use?
The parts lists I am looking at are from the MAX100 manual,pages 4-16 and 4-18.
It`s a bit of a pain that Hypertherm do not appear to have a personal contact in Britain,preferring to use agents instead.An earlier email to Hypertherms` office in Europe asking for approved British agents has sofar gone unanswered.This does not bode well for the future.
All info gratefully received.
