supply and turn on the air protective switch on the machine. After power supply and gas supply
are connected, check if the LED on the machine panel is on. If it is, it indicates that some problem
may occur. Check and eliminate the problem, and then switch the gas-check switch on the left to
check if the pilot arc gas and working gas meets the relevant requirements. If the gas pressure
does not meet the requirement, adjust the gas pressure control knob on the panel. When adjust
the gas pressure control knob, pull the knob firstly. After you hear a sound, you can turn the
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the gas pressure to the desired value according to
the gas pressure meter. After the adjustment is done, press the knob to lock it. Switch the
gas-check switch to “cutting” mode in the middle position.
Figure 3-5: Indications on the front panel
Select proper cutting current value according to the thickness of workpiece. The quality cutting
thickness of I-PLAS60 can reach up to 40mm, and the maximum cutting thickness of the machine
can reach up to 60mm. Preset the current at a certain value by turning the cutting current
control knob, and the digital meter will display the corresponding current value.
2T/4T function
It is more convenient for the operator to carry out long-time cutting with this function, and it is
unnecessary for the operator to keep pressing the cutting torch switch all the time, which makes
cutting more comfortable. Operators may either mode according their own requirements.
Specific operation methods:
When cutting small objects, the rocker switch should be turned to "2T" position. At this time, the
machine will begin to work when pressing the cutting torch switch, and will stop working when
releasing the cutting torch switch.
When cutting large objects, the operator can turn the rocker switch to “4T” position. At this time,
the machine will begin to work when pressing the cutting torch switch, and willnot stop working
when releasing the cutting torch switch. When the cutting work is finished and cutting should be
stopped, the operator may press the cutting torch switch and release it. In this way, the machine
will stop working.
3.4 Connection of the work clamp
The work clamp should be connected to the workpiece during cutting.
Note: When using I-PLAS60 together with the cutting bed, grounding can be done through the
cutting bed, and it is unnecessary to use the work clamp. For more details, please refer to the
equipmentinstructions from the cutting bed manufacturer.
