OPERATION (cont.)
The plasma cutter will cease to cut and the Thermal Overload LED will illuminate RED. This
LED indication is just to inform you that your plasma cutter is becoming too hot and
requires to cool down to protect the internal components. Do Not turn your unit Off as the
plasma cutter has an internal cooling fan and this will assist your unit to cool down quicker.
Reducing the cooling time will enable you to get back to your cutting job quicker.
Depending on how many Amps or how heavy the cutting you are doing the cooling time
may take up to 60 Minutes for your plasma cutter cool down so you can return to your
cutting job.
Cutting
•
Contact the copper tip of the plasma torch to the work piece, press the trigger switch (5)
until the arc starts then raise the torch about 1mm above the work piece, and perform
the cutting operation. You will experience high-frequency spark discharge and air
coming from the nozzle.
•
Once cutting is over, release the trigger switch (5) to put out the arc. A period of post-
flow time required for torch cooling will follow. Do not disconnect air until this cooling
period has been completed. Failure to do this will result in torch head damage.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury from accidental operation:
Turn the Power Switch of the Plasma Cutter to its “OFF” position and unplug the
plasma cutter from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
•
Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times, if possible, prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
•
After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust
particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to overheat
and fail.
•
If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth
only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
•
Worn nozzle will cause cutting inaccuracies and/or arc starting problems, so inspect the
nozzle regularly. When the nozzle hole becomes covered with spatter, discard or clean
with cleaning file (supplied).
