"I've seen it operate, briefly, but a switch somewhere in the circuit must be having some problems, because it became very intermittent, then stopped altogether. It had, in all fairness, been sitting for at least a couple of years and was filthy and neglected. It's a Snap-On YA 5550, 230V."

It may not be this simple, but what the heck...

When I first used my Pro-Cut 55 and was playing cutting various items, mine did the same thing. The warning light came on, and wouldn't do anything.

Finally noticed a little blob of spatter near the orifice in the tip. Took my knife, and scraped it off. Turned the machine back on, and we were good to go..!!

You might take a look, and try... Who knows..??

I used mine Wednesday to cut some 3/16" stainless steel... OMG.., I love that thing..!!
