leave the power source on to exploit the operating ventilator and re-
duce the time when it is not active.
* P1: Potentiometer for setting the cutting current
Allows you to continuously adjust the cutting current. This current
stays unchanged during cutting when the supply and cutting condi-
tions vary within the allowed ranges.
* T1: gas test pushbutton.
Allows impurities to be removed from the compressed air circuit and
preliminary capacity and pressure settings to be made with no power
output.

2.1.2 Rear control panel (Fig. 2)
* I1: Off/On switch
Turns on the electric power to the machine.
It has two positions, "
O
" off, and "
I
" on.
* When
I1
is in the on "
I
" position, the generator is operatio-
nal, but has voltage output only if
L2
is on.
* The machine is connected to the mains supply even if the
I1
switch is in the "
O
" position, and therefore there are
electrically live parts inside it. Carefully follow the instruc-
tions given in this manual.
* 1 : Supply cable.
* 2 : Ventilation slots. Never allow them to be obstructed.
* N : Serial number.

4.0 TRANSPORT - UNLOADING
Never underestimate the weight of the equipment, see 3.0
(TECHNICAL DATA).
Never make the cargo pass or leave it suspended over
people or things.
Neither let the equipment or the single unit fall, nor put
it down with force.
Once it has been removed from the packing, the power source is sup-
plied with an extendible belt which can be used to move it in the hand
or on the shoulder.
5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 GENERAL RULES
Choose an adequate installation area by following the criteria provided
in Section "1.0 WARNINGS-PRECAUTIONS-GENERAL ADVICE".
Do not position the power source and the equipment on surfaces with
inclination exceeding 15° with respect to the horizontal plane.
Protect the installation from heavy rain and sun. The machine protec-
tion degree (IP 23) is effective against water that falls down in a direc-
tion forming an angle up to 60° with the vertical line.
