hose 16 , you must press the locking
mechanism of the compressed air
connection
20 and pull out the
compressed air hose 16 .
• Connecting the cutting torch
„
Insert the plasma burner - plug 7 into
the plasma burner – connection socket
12 and tighten the union nut hand-tight.
„
Insert the plasma burner – power plug
6 into the plasma burner – power
socket 10 and tighten the union nut
hand-tight.
• Connecting the ground cable
Connect the ground terminal plug 5 with
the ground terminal connection socket 11 .
Make sure that the connecting shaft is first
connected and then turned. This does not
require force!
• Using the device
• Operation
1. Set the plasma cutter
1
up in a dry and
well ventilated area.
2. Position the machine in the vicinity of the
workpiece.
3. Press the on / off switch 17 .
4. Clamp the ground terminal 4 to the
workpiece to be cut and make sure that
there is a good electrical contact.
5. Set the cutting current on the current
controller 13 .
6. Position the plasma cutter 8 on the
workpiece so that the nozzle 8c is free
and that a blowback of the molten metal
is not possible. Press the plasma burner
button
8a . The transmitted cutting arch
is ignited on the edge of the sheet in this
manner.
7. Start cutting slowly and then increase the
speed in order to achieve the desired
cutting quality.
8. The speed must be regulated so that
a good cutting capacity can be
achieved. The plasma air creates
a straight arch (stainless steel, aluminium)
or a 5° arch of approach (soft steel).
9. While cutting make sure the nozzle is
always in contact with the workpiece.
To cut in the manual cutting mode,
pull the overlying burner across
the workpiece while maintaining
a constant speed. To achieve the perfect cut,
it is important for the material thickness to
comply with the correct cutting speed. If the
cutting speed is too low, the cutting edge
will be blunt due to the severe heat input.
The optimal cutting speed is achieved once
the cutting jet is slightly inclined towards
the rear while cutting. If the plasma burner
button
8a
is released, the plasma jet goes
out and the power source switches off.
The gas continues to flow for approx.
5 seconds in order to cool the burner.
The same process is followed when the
workpiece is pulled out with the plasma
burner button pressed
8a
. During the gas
post-flow time, the plasma cutter
1
must
not be switched off to avoid damaging the
plasma burner
8
as a result of overheating.
ATTENTION!
f
The device must be left on for approx.
2-3 minutes once the cutting work has
been completed. The cooler cools the
electronics.
