which do not contain any toxic or poisonous
materials dangerous to the operator.
When the equipment is scrapped, it should be
dismantled separating components according to the
type of materials.
Do not dispose of the equipment with normal
waste. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment states
the electrical equipment that has reached its end of
life must be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility.
Handling of compressed gas cylinders and
regulators
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in
welding operations should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any
other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder
valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely.
Never deface or alter any cylinder
FUNCTIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
CUTTING MACHINE
This is a digital plasma cutting machine with high
performance and using advanced technology. The
CUT45PWV is an ultra-portable plasma cutting
system suitable for a variety of application
requirements. It can be used in handheld cutting or
with automated cutting systems. The
CUT45PWV can cut conductive metal such as low
carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium etc.
The modern design concept of this machine and the
application of a large number of advanced and
mature technologies ensures the user’s investment
for the future.
Advanced digital control mode
The CUT45PWV uses intelligent digital control
technology and all its major functions are
performed using this advanced software. It is this
digital control which has led to improvements in
performance when compared with the traditional
plasma cutting machines.
With PWM technology and high power IGBT
components it inverts the DC voltage which is
rectified from 50Hz/60Hz input AC voltage to
30K~100KHz AC high voltage. Then, the voltage is
dropped and rectified to output the high power DC
power supply for cutting.
The machine adopts switching power supply
inverter technology, greatly reducing the volume
and weight of the plasma cutter and obviously
enhancing the power efficiency. The switching
frequency is beyond audio range which almost
eliminates the noise pollution.
High consistency and stable performance
Generally speaking, for a cutting machine with
analogue circuit control, the performance
characteristics are determined by the parameters of
various components. Cutting performance of the
machines differ as a result of the inconsistent
parameters of the components, so even for the
cutting machines of the same brand, their
parameters often differ from each other. In
addition, cutting performance of the machine may
change since parameters of the components may
vary according to the environment such as
temperature and humidity etc. The consistency and
stability of this digitally controlled cutter is better
than that of a traditional cutter.
Powerful cutting performance
This machine is economical and practical since it can
cut metals by using compressed air as the plasma
gas source.
The cutting speed is increased by 1.8 times when
compared with oxy-acetylene cutting. It can cut
steel, stainless steel, copper, cast iron and
aluminium conveniently and quickly. It has an easy
start ignition mode and a post-flow cooling function
is available. Its simple operation and high cutting
speed gives excellent cut quality. Both contact and
non-contact mode is available for
successful arc ignition.
Unpacking
Check the packaging for any signs of damage.
Carefully remove the machine and retain the
packaging until the installation is complete.
Location
The machine should be located in a suitable
position and environment. Care should be taken to
avoid moisture, dust, steam, oil or corrosive gases.
Place on a secure level surface and ensure that
there is adequate clearance around the machine to
