- in environments with increased risk of electric shock,
- in confined spaces,
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials
must be evaluated in advance by an “Expert supervisor” and must always be carried out in the
presence of other people trained to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection measures MUST BE taken as described in the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION "IEC 62081".
Cutting in raised positions is forbidden unless safety platforms are used.
The persons carrying pacemaker have to consult a doctor before using these machines.
ACCESSORIES AND CONSUMABLES
Accessories
Consumables
Regularly check the wear condition of the protective tip, nozzle and electrode or in case of significant reduce of the
cutting speed.
It is advised to replace at the same time the nozzle and the electrode.
Tip
(ref.040229 : plasma 21 / ref. 040182 : plasma 21KF / ref.040236 : plasma 31FV)
Replace if cracked or damaged.
Nozzle
(ref.040212 : plasma 21 ou 31FV / ref.040151 plasma 21KF)
Clean if the inside of the nozzle is blocked or dirty.
Replace if the opening is deformed or if the size of the orifice has half increased.
Diffuser
(ref.040175 : plasma 21, 21KF ou 31FV)
Replace if lateral orifices are bolcked.
Electrode
(ref.040168: plasma 21, 21KF ou 31FV)
To replace: if a significant cavity appears at the electrode center.
TROUBLESHOOTING

Causes
Remedies
The machine delivers no power.
The green working indicator is on.
The thermal protection indicator is
continuously on.
The thermal protection of
the welding unit is on.
Wait until the end of the cooling phase.
The machine delivers no power.
The green working indicator is on.
The thermal protection ondicator
blinks 2 times then lights off.
The input voltage is higher
than 230V + 15% for plasma
21-21KF, 85-265V for plasma
31FV
Check your electrical network or your
electric generator then switch off and on
your machine.
Torch defect.
Check your torch assembly.
The machine delivers no power.
The green working indicator is on.
The thermal protection indicator
blinks quickly.
Air supply too weak.
Increase the air pressure, then switch off
and on your machine.
By pressing the trigger, the air flows
but the pilot arc is not working.
Consumables shabby.
Check and change the consumables, then
switch off and on your machine.
The electrical arc switches off after
about 3 seconds.
Earth problem.
Check the earth clamp is well connected to
a clean area (not painted and not fat) of
the part to cut.
If you feel tingling sensation, when
the unit is on and you put your hand
on the welding unit’s body.
The welding unit is not
correctly connected to the
earth.
Check the plug and the earth of your
electrical network.
Plasma 31FV : After having switched
off the plasma (position « O »), the
ventilator and the compressed air
continues to run.
Torch Cooling phase.
Normal behaviour of the machine, wait for
the end of the cooling phase (+/-15 sec).
Compass divider kit
(ref.
040205)
For circular cutting up to
134 cm diameter.
Provided with 3 axes :
magnetic, with center pin,
with thread
Trolley
(
Ref. 040199)
For a comfortable use and be
at the advised height
For optimizing the cutting
performances and increase
the nozzles life-time.
