Medium / thick material cuts
With the earth clamp connected to the plate, keep the torch
raised above the plate.
Push the torch button and move slowly towards the plate.
When the sparks come out from the underside the plate, the arc
has pierced the material. Once the material has been pierced,
the torch’s shield can be rested on the material to be cut.
Drag the nozzle lightly over the plate to make the cut.
GOUGING THE PLATE
WARNING: The plant must be fed with a constant air flow, with
the following characteristics: pressure 3,0-4,5 bar (44-65 psi).
WARNING: Sparks and hot metal can cause injuries to the
eyes and the skin.
When the torch is ignited in an inclined position, the sparks and
hot metal are projected away from the nozzle. Do not point the
torch at yourself or other people nearby.
With the earth clamp connected to the plate, keep the torch at
about 45° to the workpiece, with the torch shield about 1,5 mm
from the plate, before pushing the torch button.
45°
Keep the torch at 45° to the plate, leaving a small gap between
the torch shield and the plate. Push the trigger to ignite the pi-
lot arc. Transfer the arc to the plate.
Maintain the 45° angle to the plate, while executing gouging.
Push the plasma arc in the direction of the gouge you wish to
form. Maintain a small gap between the torch shield and the
molten metal, to avoid reducing the lifespan of consumables or
damaging the torch. If the torch angle is changed, the dimen-
sions of the gouge also change.
The gouge profile can be varied by varying the speed at which
the torch passes over the plate, changing the distance be-
tween the torch and the plate, changing the angle between
the torch and the plate, and by changing the output current on
the generator.
