  the operator.

 

8

  

DO nOt 

use cables and torch if the insulation is worn or connections are loose.

 

8

  

DO nOt 

attempt to fit any unauthorised torch or other component to the plasma cutting unit.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 cut surfaces that are painted, galvanic coated, oily or greasy.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 use cables over 10m in length.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 connect the return cable to any structure which is not part of the work piece (other than a metal work bench supporting the   

  work piece). 

 

  

DanGer! DO nOt

 cut near flammable materials - solids, liquids, or gases. remove all flammable materials such as waste rags etc.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 cut containers or pipes which have held flammable materials - gases, liquids or solids.

 DO nOt

 cut materials that have    

  been cleaned with chlorinated solvents (or near such solvents) as vapours from the arc action may produce toxic gases.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 operate the inverter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 use the plasma inverter for a task it is not designed to perform.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 operate the plasma inverter if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 strain or bend the cables, protect them from sharp or abrasive items and 

DO nOt

 stand on them. 

 

9

   Protect cables from heat. long lengths of slack must be gathered and neatly coiled.

 DO nOt

 place cables where they will endanger

 

 others.

 

8

  

DO nOt 

hold unsecured work piece in your hand.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 get the plasma inverter wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 touch the work piece close to the cut as it will be very hot. Allow to cool. the cut edge of the work piece will also be very

 

 sharp.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 touch the torch immediately after use. Allow the torch to cool.

   When not in use store the unit in a safe, dry, childproof area. 

2.  intrODuctiOn

i

nverter power supply fitted with plasma cutter control circuitry. Features digital Amp display and 2 LEDs on the front panel indicating overload 

and mains power. supplied with a 4.6mtr plasma torch which has a regulated push button arc, to avoid having to touch the work piece, 2mtr 

earth cable and 2mtr gas hose and regulator. ideal for cutting steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, copper and brass. iP21s rated.

‰

   WArninG! Before operating the machine ensure that you read, understand and apply section 1 safety instructions. ensure that the   
  machine is disconnected from the power supply before moving or changing accessories.

4.1.    

air line

4.1.1.  

Attach air regulator to the unit as shown infig.2/fig.3.

4.1.2.  

Attach a clean dry compressed air supply (requirements as in specifications) to the regulator positioned on the back of the unit.

4.2.    

torch lead

4.2.1.  

screw fitting to the air line connection nipple (fig.1.8). then slide outer sleeve over connection and tighten (Hand tight).

4.2.2.  

Pull the collar of the 2 pin plug back toward the cable and plug into the socket, observing the fit one way groove, screw collar over    

 

connection. on removal, remember to unscrew  pull back the collar initially and then the plug. 

DO nOt

 remove by pulling the cable.

4.2.3.  

remove the pilot arc terminal knob fully and place the eye of the red cable over the screw and clamp with terminal knob. 

4.3.    

locating the inverter

4.3.1.  

ensure that the work area has a good airflow and that there is no dust, smoke or gas present.

4.3.2.  

ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 500mm around the machine, and that there are no obstacles to prevent a cool airflow. 

 

Also check to ensure that the front outlet and rear grilles are not blocked.

4.3.3.   

When moving the machine, disconnect from the mains power supply and gather all cables safely.

4.4.   

 

connecting the return cable

4.4.1.  

check that there is a good electrical contact. 

caution: 

ensure that you have made good contact on oxidised or coated sheets.

4.4.2.   

make the earth connection as close to the cutting area as possible.

 

8

  

DO nOt 

connect to structures or objects, other than the metal work bench which is supporting the workpiece. to do so may  

 

  damage the safety system and will give a poor cut.

 

8

   DO nOt 

make the earth connection to the part of the work piece that will be removed.

4.5.    

isolation switch

4.5.1.   

the i/o (on/off) switch is located at the rear of the machine (fig.1.2) . A green led will illuminate on the front panel (fig.1.1) indicating that  

 

mains power is present. the control and duty circuits are now live but the torch will remain in ‘stand-by’ mode until the air supply is    

 

connected and the torch button is pressed.
