PLASMA CUTTING
•
Mount the metal to be cut to the metal welding/cutting table. It should be mounted so that the cutting debris falls
onto a non-flammable or cement floor.
•
Place the plasma cutter unit no closer than 2 meters from the workpiece to be cut.
•
Fix the earth / grounding clamp to a part of the workpiece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp
as close as possible to the workpiece but far enough away to avoid damaging the cable during cutting.
•
Set the desired current for the type of metal being cut with the current adjustment knob. Generally and
depending on the material, thin metals use low current and heavy metals require higher current.
•
Ensure the power switch is set to the
OFF / “0”
position, then plug the Plasma Cutter’s Power Cord into a
dedicated, 230V electrical supply (or a 110V supply with a suitable adaptor mounted on the power cable) with
delayed action type circuit breaker.
•
Hold the cutting torch firmly.
Please Note:
The torch is “live” when its trigger is pressed.
•
Keep the torch away from people and flammables before touching the trigger.
•
When everything is in place for cut, press the Power Switch to its
ON / “1”
position. The GREEN “Power
Indicator” will illuminate and machine is ready to cut.
•
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
point torch away from your body when triggering the torch.
•
Once the torch is triggered, the arc will ignite. This unit provides a pilot arc, so the cutting torch does not need to
contact the workpiece before the cutting arc ignites.
•
Trigger the torch and the RED “Cutting Indicator” will illuminate.
•
Make sure not to touch anything else with the Torch except the workpiece to be cut.
•
Slowly move the cutting torch at a slight angle along the cutting line with the torch tip trailing.
•
The air causes the molten metal to fall away from the workpiece being cut.
•
The machine is equipped with 20 seconds of nozzle air cooling after torch trigger is released.
•
When finished cutting, release the trigger on the cutting torch and lift the torch away from the workpiece.
•
Press the Power Switch to its
OFF position “0”
and set the cutting torch down on the metal workbench.
•
Turn off the air supply and unplug the power cord from the power supply
•
Allow all components of the Plasma Cutter to completely cool before storing the plasma cutter in a cool dry
indoor environment - out of the reach of children.
THERMAL CUTOUT
This plasma cutter is equipped with an internal thermal protection system to help prevent damage to the unit. If the
cutter exceeds the rated duty cycle it may overheat . In this state, the thermal overload indicator light will illuminate
on the front panel display, the plasma cutter will automatically shut down. The cutter will return to operation when it
cools down sufficiently.
