INITIATING OPERATION
A. Unpacking
Unpack all the items out of the box and make sure that you have received all items
listed on the packing list.
B. Work environment
Make sure that the work area is well ventilated. The unit is cooled by an axial fan that
provides an air flow for the electronics through the rear panel.
(Note! The housing must be installed in a way that ensures that the vent holes are
closer to the front of the machine). At least 15 cm at the front and 15 cm on each side
should be left to enable cleaning. If the machine is operated without adequate cooling,
the length of the duty cycle will be reduced greatly.
C. Cable connections
Each unit is equipped with a main power cable, which is responsible for providing cur-
rent and voltage to the device. If the device is connected to power which exceeds the
required voltage, or if the wrong phase is set, it may lead to severe damage to the unit.
This is not covered by the warranty for the equipment and the user will be responsible
for such situations.
D. Torch connection
Connect the torch to the inverter by connecting the air tube that is attached at the
end of the torch to the torch connector on the front part of the machine. Ensure that
the connection is secure by tightening it slightly with a spanner. However you should
not make it too tight.
PISTOL ASSEMBLY (S-Plasma 50/60P/80P)

EN
A. Assembling the pistol
Put the pistol the protective cap facing up and turn the cap away from the gun. (The
protective cap holds the tip, the ceramic swirl ring and the electrode together). Re-
move the cap, the ceramic swirl ring and the electrode. Assemble the electrode, the
ceramic swirl ring and the tip back together. Replace worn parts if necessary. Put the
protective cap on the head of the pistol and screw it on with your hand until it is snug.
If any resistance is present during this process, check the thread and the arrangement
of the items before resuming work.
NOTE
In case of some pistols with no reversible electrodes it is necessary to tighten the elec-
trode further by using a pair of pliers in order to ensure a reliable electrical connection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A. The beginning
Turn the power switch to „ON". Take up a position at the unit in which you can easily
read the air pressure from the device. Press the pistol switch (air will flow out from the
pistol), adjust the air valve to approximately 6-7 (bar) and press the pistol switch again.
NOTE
The generally accepted value range of air pressure is 5-8 bar. You can now perform
tests as needed, but you should remember not to reduce the air pressure too much
because it may damage the consumables. Secure the grounding clamp on the workpi-
ece. Connect the clamp to the main part of the workpiece and not to part which is to
be removed.
B. Cutting
1. Drag-cutting
Hold the tip of the pistol above the workpiece, press the pistol switch and move the pi-
stol tip until it comes into contact with the workpiece and the cutting arc is established.
Once the cutting arc is generated you may move the pistol in the desired direction with
the tip of the pistol always at a slight angle and maintaining contact with the workpiece.
This working method is called drag cutting. Excessively rapid movements should be
avoided. A sign of this are sparks, which can spray from the top of the workpiece. Move
the pistol with a speed that ensures gathering of the sparks under the workpiece and
before proceeding make sure that the material is cut through completely. Set the drag
speed as required.
