GB

materials must be worn to

insulate the body against

ground.

 When using plasma cutters

under electrically dangerous

conditions, e.g. tight spaces

made of electrically conductive

walls (boiler, pipes, etc.),

in wet rooms (soaking of work

clothes), the output voltage

of the plasma cutter must

be greater than 48 volt

when idling (effective value).

The plasma cutter may be

used in these cases due to the

output voltage.

z Protective clothing

 At work, the welder must

protect his/her whole body

by using appropriate

clothing and face protection

against radiations and burns.

The following steps must be

observed:

– Wear protective clothing

– Wear safety goggles.

 Gauntlet gloves made of a

suitable material (leather) must

be worn on both hands. They

must be in perfect condition.

 A suitable apron must be

worn to protect clothing

from flying sparks and burns.

When specific work, e.g.

overhead welding, is required,

a protective suit must be worn

and, if necessary, even head

protection.

z Protection against rays

and burns

 A ‘Caution! Do not stand in

the flames!’ warning sign to

indicate an eye hazard must

be visible at the workplace.

The workplaces must be

shielded so that the persons

in the vicinity are protected.

Unauthorised persons must be

kept away from welding work.

 The walls in the immediate

vicinity of fixed workplaces

should neither be bright

coloured or shiny. Windows

up to head height must be

protected to prevent rays

through them, e.g. by using

suitable paint.

z EMC Device Classification

According to standard

IEC 60974-10, it has to do

Safety instructions

13

GB

with a plasma cutter with class A

electromagnetic compatibility.

Thus, it meets the appropriate

requirements in the industrial and

residential area. In residential

areas, it can be connected to

the public low-voltage supply

network.

Even if the plasma cutter complies

with the emission level as per the

standard, the plasma cutter can

still result in electromagnetic

disturbances in sensitive systems

and devices.

The operator is responsible for

malfunctions that occur through

the arc while welding and must

take suitable protective measures.

In doing so, the operator must

consider the following:

 Power cables, control, signal

and telecommunication lines

 Computer and other

microprocessor controlled

devices.

 Television, radio and other

playback devices

 Electronic and electrical safety

equipment

 Persons with cardiac

pacemakers or hearing aids

 Measurement and calibration

devices

 Noise immunity of other

devices in the vicinity

 The time of day at which the

welding work is performed.

The following is recommended

to reduce possible interference

radiation:

 The plasma cutter must be

regularly maintained and kept

in a good condition

 Welding cables should be

completely unwound and

installed parallel on the floor,

if possible

 Devices and systems at risk

of interference radiation must

be removed from the welding

area if possible, or shielded.

• General plasma explanations

Plasma cutters are operated by

pushing pressurised gas,

e.g. air, through a small pipe.

In the centre of the pipe, there

is a negatively charged electrode

that is directly above the nozzle.

The vortex ring controls the speed

at which the plasma can rotate.

If you supply the negative

electrode with current and make

the tip of the nozzle touch the

metal, this connection creates

a closed, electrical circuit.

Safety instructions / General plasma explanations

14

GB

A powerful spark occurs between

the electrode and the metal.

While the gas flows into the pipe,

the spark heats up the gas until

it has reached the plasma

condition. This reaction causes

a current from the controlled

plasma with a temperature of

16,649 ºC or more that moves at

speed of 6.096 m/sec and the

metal transforms into steam and

molten discharge. The plasma

itself conducts electrical current.

The working circuit that allows

the arc to occur remains as

long as current is supplied to

the electrode and the plasma

remains in contact with the metal

to be processed.

The cutting nozzle has two types

of channels. These channels

generate a constant flow of

protective gas around the cutting

area. The pressure of the gas

flow controls the radius of the

plasma jet.

PLEASE NOTE!

fThis machine is only designed to use

compressed air as ‘gas’.

• Before use

• Installation environment

Make sure that working area is sufficiently

ventilated. If the device is used without

sufficient cooling, the power-on time reduces

and it can result in overheating.

Additional protection can be required for

this purpose:

 The device must be free-standing with

a distance of at least 0.5 m all around.

 Ventilation slots must not be blocked

or covered.

 The device must not be used as a storage

place and tools or other items must not

be placed on the device.

 It must be operated in a dry and well

ventilated working environment.

• Connecting compressed air

PLEASE NOTE!

fThis device is designed for operating

pressure of up to 6.3 bar. Please bear

in mind that the pressure can lower

while setting the air pressure.

Thus, in a hose length measuring

10 m and an internal diameter of 9 mm

it drops by approx. 0.6 bar.

The compressed air must be filtered,

lubricated and regulated.

 Connect the compressed air hose

16

on

the back of the plasma cutter

1

to the

compressed air connection

20

. To do so,

insert the side of the compressed air hose

16

into the compressed air connection

20

of the plasma cutter

1

without a quick

connector.

 The pressure can be set via the knob

.

• Connecting the cutting torch

 Insert the plasma burner - plug

7

into

the plasma burner – connection socket

12

and tighten the union nut hand-tight.

 Insert the plasma burner – power plug

6

into the plasma burner – power

socket

10

and tighten the union nut

hand-tight.

• Connecting the ground cable

Connect the ground terminal plug

5

with

the ground terminal connection socket

11

.

Make sure that the connecting shaft is first

connected and then turned. This does not

require force!

• Using the device

• Operation

1. Set the plasma cutter

1

up in a dry and

well ventilated area.

2. Position the machine in the vicinity of the

workpiece.

3. Press the on / off switch

17

.

4. Clamp the ground terminal

4

to the

workpiece to be cut and make sure that

there is a good electrical contact.

5. Set the cutting current on the current

controller

13

.

6. Position the plasma cutter

8

on the

workpiece so that the nozzle

8c

is free

and that a blowback of the molten metal

is not possible. Press the plasma burner

button

8a

. The transmitted cutting arch

is ignited on the edge of the sheet in this

manner.

7. Start cutting slowly and then increase the

speed in order to achieve the desired

cutting quality.

8. The speed must be regulated so that

a good cutting capacity can be

achieved. The plasma air creates

a straight arch (stainless steel, aluminium)

or a 5° arch of approach (soft steel).

9. While cutting make sure the nozzle is

always in contact with the workpiece.

To cut in the manual cutting mode,

pull the overlying burner across

the workpiece while maintaining

a constant speed. To achieve the perfect cut,

it is important for the material thickness to

comply with the correct cutting speed. If the

cutting speed is too low, the cutting edge

will be blunt due to the severe heat input.

The optimal cutting speed is achieved once

the cutting jet is slightly inclined towards

the rear while cutting. If the plasma burner

button

8a

is released, the plasma jet goes

out and the power source switches off.

The gas continues to flow for approx.

5 seconds in order to cool the burner.

The same process is followed when the

workpiece is pulled out with the plasma

burner button pressed

8a

. During the gas

post-flow time, the plasma cutter

1

must

not be switched off to avoid damaging the

plasma burner

8

as a result of overheating.

ATTENTION!

fThe device must be left on for approx.

2-3 minutes once the cutting work has

been completed. The cooler cools the

electronics.

Before use / Using the device

16

GB

• Plasma cutting types

Drag cutting

Hold the tip of the pistol low over the

workpiece and press the pistol switch.

Now move the pistol tip until there is contact

with the workpiece and the cutting arch

is fixed in position. Once the cutting arch

has been generated, move the pistol in the

desired direction. Makes sure that the pistol

tip is slightly angled and that contact with

the workpiece is maintained. This working

method is called drag cutting. Avoid quick

movements. Sparks falling off the top of the

workpiece is an indication of moving too

quickly. Move the pistol at a speed in which

the spark accumulation is concentrated on

the bottom side of the workpiece. Ensure

the material is completely separated prior to

continuing with this process. Set the neces-

sary drag speed.

Distance cutting

In some cases, it is beneficial to cut while

holding the tip of the pistol at a height

of 1.5 mm to 3 mm above the workpiece.

This reduces the quantity of material that

is blown back into the tip. This makes it

possible to penetrate thicker material

strengths. Distance cutting should be used

if penetration or furrow work is carried out.

Furthermore, the ‘distance’ working tech-

nique can be used when you need to cut

sheet metal to minimise the risk of material

splashing back which could damage the tip.

Perforation

To drill through, place the tip approx.

3.2 mm above the workpiece. Hold the

pistol at a slight angle to guide the sparks

away from the pistol tip and your body.

Press the plasma burner button

8a

and lower

the tip of the pistol until there is a main

cutting arch and sparks begin to form. Test

the perforation on a test object that is no

longer needed and once there are no

problems start drilling through at the

previously defined cutting line on your

workpiece. Check the pistol for wear and

tear, cracks or exposed cable pieces.

Replace or repair them prior to using the

device. A badly worn pistol tip/nozzle

contributes to the reduction of speed, voltage

and unclean separation. An indication of a

badly worn pistol tip/nozzle is an extended

or oversized nozzle opening. The external

electrode must not be recessed by more

than 3.2 mm. Replace it if the wear is

greater than the specified dimensions.

If the protective cap is difficult to tighten,

check the thread.

Troubleshooting / Maintenance and care

• Maintenance and care

• Maintaining the burner

 The parts displayed in Figure F are the

electrode

8d

, diffuser

8e

and the nozzle

8c

. They can be replaced once the

nozzle clamping sleeve

8b

has been

unscrewed.

 The electrode

8d

must be replaced

if there is a crater of approximately

1.5 mm depth in the centre.

ATTENTION!

fTo unscrew the electrode, do not apply

irregular pressure, gradually increase

pressure until the thread is released.

The new electrode must be screwed into

its bracket and blocked but not tightened

up to the stop.

 The nozzle

8c

must be placed if the

central bore is damaged or if it has

expanded in comparison to a drilling of

a new nozzle. If the electrode

8d

or the

nozzle

8c

are replaced too late, this can

result in an overheating of the parts. This

can reduce the lift cycle of the diffuser

8e

.

Once replaced, make sure the nozzle

clamping sleeve

8b

is tightened

sufficiently.

ATTENTION!

fThe nozzle clamp sleeve

8b

must only

be screwed on to the burner

8

once

it has been equipped with the electrode

8d

, diffuser

8e

and nozzle

8c

.

fIf these parts are missing,

the device may malfunction

and it may create a hazard

for the operating personnel.

 Faulty air compressor.

 Material too thick, increase

the angle to avoid material

from being blown back into

the tip.

 Do not control the arc for

more than 5 seconds.

You can also start with contact

between the pistol and metal

or with a 3.2 mm distance

to the metal.

 See paragraph titled

‘Pistol set up’.

 Check the air filter,

increase the air pressure.

 Check the performance of the

air compressor and make sure

the inlet pressure is at least

100 PSI.
