Using the torch for manual cutting
WARNING
Torch with immediate ignition
A plasma arc can cause injuries and burns.
The plasma arc ignites immediately, when the torch button is
pushed.
The plasma arc passes through gloves and the skin quickly.
Use appropriate equipment to protect your head, eyes, ears,
hands, and body.
Keep away from the tip of the torch.
Do not hold the plate and keep your hands away from the cut-
ting path.
Never point the torch at yourself or other people.
TORCH SAFETY
Torches for manual cutting have a safety guard to prevent in-
voluntary ignition. When you are ready to use the torch, rotate
the button’s safety guard (towards the tip of the torch) and push
the red torch button, as shown in figure H.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE TORCH FOR
MANUAL CUTTING
• Drag the torch slightly over the plate to maintain a set cut.
• While cutting, make sure that the sparks come out from the
underside of the plate.
• If the sparks come out from the upper side of the plate, move
the torch more slowly, or set the output current to a higher
value.
• When using SK series torches for manual cutting, keep the
nozzle on the torch perpendicular to the plate, so that the
nozzle forms a 90-95° angle with the cutting surface. Watch
the cutting arc while the torch is cutting.
~ 90-95°
WARNING: If the torch is ignited when not necessary, the work-
ing lifespan of the nozzle and the electrode is reduced.
For cutting straight lines, using a straight edge as a guide, or
the carriage supplied.
