DESCRIPTION
Thank you for choosing our product! To get the best of your equipment, please read carefully the following.
The PLASMA CUTTER 40FV is an inverter plasma cutter, portable, single phase, ventilated. It is able to cut in direct
current (DC) steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper.
POWER SUPPLY – START UP
•
This machine is delivered with a 16A plug type EEC7/7 and integrates a « Flexible Voltage » system. It has to be on a
power suply variable between 85V and 265V (50 – 60 Hz)
WITH
earth. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is
shown on the machine, for maximal using conditions. Check that the main supply and its protections (fuse and/or
circuit breaker) are compatible with the required current in use.
•
This Class A equipment is intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public
medium- or high-voltage supply system. It is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is
provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
•
These materials do not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If it is connected to a public low voltage system, it is the
responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network
operator if necessary, that the equipment may be connected.
•
Do not use the machine in an area containing metallic conducting dust.
GETTING STARTED (see table and graph on page 2)
•
Connect the regulator, and the pneumatic tip for the mahine.
•
Connect the unit to the electricity and air supply.
•
Turn on the power switch at the back of the machine.
• Connect the earth clamp to a clear area of the workpiece.
• Adjust the pressure.
• Choose the sheet metal
or metal mesh mode
with the mode adjustment button (8).
• Adjust the cutting current with the adjustment buttons (2).
• Start cutting.
CUTTING MODE (see the graphical interface page 2)
Sheet metal mode
:
Choose this mode if cutting metal that is not perforated.
Cutting can be stopped in 2 ways
o
By releasing the trigger.
o
When the arc no longer meets the metal workpiece.
Metal Mesh mode
:
Choose this mode when cutting perforated metal. This mode ensures a continuous arc, even if passed over
holes.
Stop cutting by releasing the trigger, or will stop automatically after 3 seconds without encountering metal.
During either the cutting phase, or torch cooling phase, if the air pressure goes above/below the recommended range
the warning LED (5) flashes. This is to warn the user that the air pressure is outside of optimum level.
SETTING UP THE PRESSURE (see table and graph page 2)
Air Pressure Measurement mode (integrated pressure gauge)
:
When this mode is selected, the display shows the current air pressure, bar or PSI.
Press and hold the change mode button (8) to select the unit of measurement.
To start measuring, briefly press the trigger, the air comes out of the torch and the pressure is displayed
followed by a letter "b" for bar or "p" for PSI.
Use the adjustment knob on the air regulator to reach the desired value.
o
If the pressure is too low or too high the display will flash.
If the pressure is too low "no air" appears.
To exit the air measurement mode, briefly press the trigger or the change mode button (8)
Set the current depending on the type and thickness of cutting metal. (see graph on page 2)
