Important rules
1. The burning time of the pilot arc must be limited to the necessary time only.
This reduces wear on the cutting tip and electrode. Frequent idle starts will
stress the cutting tip and electrode and could overheat the pilot arc ballast.
2. When you have finished cutting, never switch off the machine immediately
with the main switch, but always allow the torch to run through a cooling
cycle. Only switch off immediately in an emergency.
3. The air pressure has a decisive influence on the quality of the cut, the
lifetime of the cutting tips, electrodes and the entire torch. Make sure that
the pressure is set correctly: the optimum value is 5.5 bar (4.8 bar for
grooving), fluctuations between 5.0 and 6.0 bar are permissible. The air
must be free of mechanical impurities, oil and water condensate. These
impurities reduce the quality of the cut, cause instability and arc extinction
and can damage the torch. The source of pressurised air must therefore
be equipped with an efficient filtration and a reliable oil and water
condensate separator. The use of the filter and separator built into the
SVAROG 105 PLASMA as the only air treatment stage is totally
inadequate. In cases where the compressor draws in air with high
humidity, which results in the need for frequent depressurization of the
pressure vessel, it is necessary to include another efficient separator as a
3rd stage in the supply. Trapped condensate must be drained daily from
all separators and the compressor pressure vessel.
4. Ensure good electrical contact between the grounding pliers and the
material.
5. The cutting tip and electrode need to be checked and replaced in time. The
service life of these parts is only a few hours of cutting time and is heavily
dependent on following the correct cutting principles.
Notice
1. When the air pressure is low, the E13 light on the control panel will illuminate
and block further operation.
2. If the machine overheats during cutting, error message E02 on the control
panel lights up and blocks further operation.
3. Disconnect the machine from the mains before replacing torch parts.
4. Disconnect the machine from the mains before any intervention inside the
machine.
5. The machine is adapted for the use of the Plasma SVH-105 torch. In this
combination, it forms a safe system in accordance with EN 60974-7 Article
10.1.4.
6. SVAROG 105 PLASMA must not be directly connected to a pressure source
of more than 8.5 bar or to cylinders! Connection to such sources is only possible
via a suitable pressure reducing valve that is tested for the appropriate inlet
