ASSEMBLYI used plenty of Teflon tape to fit the regulator screw in fittings. Hose clamps held fine. The rest is pretty straightforward.HOW IT WORKSOn 120 volts it cuts OK but comes alive on 240 volts. Bought an adapter cable on Amazon to run 240 volts.IMPROVEMENTSGround cable is shorter than I like so I also bought some like sized Dinse connectors and #4 gage black copper welding cable to make a 10 foot extension for the 2 meter ground cable.SUMMRYPilot arc works great. No problem cutting painted or rusted steel.SHORTCOMiGSI am not fully satisfied because the included AG60 pilot arc torch, should it fail, is not replaceable because the switch connector is a 3 pin design. There are plenty of 2 pin switch connector based AG60 pilot arc torches but not there are no three pin. I added a closeup of the 3 pin connector on the front of this cutter. LOTOS has a 3 pin torch for their older red CUT50 pilot arc, but LOTOS specifies it only works on their plasma cutter and no other brands. Just be wary. (See update below)UPDATE 12-16-20 —I researched the 2 pin vs. 3 pin configurations. I called LOTOS tech support in California. I found out the switch connector only needs two pins (1 and2) are needed. The third pin is not needed. Why 3 pins? No real reason. For $12 in USPS with tracking they will send me a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. I will update when I receive the adapter.
