INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR PLASMA CUTTER
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE
EQUIPMENT, READ THE CONTENTS OF
THIS MANUAL, WHICH MUST BE STO-
RED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE ENTI-
RE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO
YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user must therefore be edu-
cated against the hazards, summarized below, deriving from
welding operations. For more detailed information, order the
manual code 3.300.758
ELECTRIC SHOCK - May be fatal.
· Install and earth the welding machine according to
the applicable regulations.
· Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with
bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
· Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the workpiece.
· Make sure your working position is safe.
FUMES AND GASES - May be hazardous to your health.
· Keep your head away from fumes.
· Work in the presence of adequate ventilation, and
use ventilators around the arc to prevent gases from
forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS - May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
· Protect your eyes with welding masks fitted with fil-
tered lenses, and protect your body with appropria-
te safety garments.
· Protect others by installing adequate shields or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS
· Sparks (sprays) may cause fires and burn the skin;
you should therefore make sure there are no flam-
mable materials in the area, and wear appropriate
protective garments.
NOISE
This machine does not directly produce noise excee-
ding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding procedure
may produce noise levels beyond said limit; users
must therefore implement all precautions required by law.
PACEMAKERS
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the
operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic equip-
ment (pacemakers) should consult their physician before
beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding
operations.
EXPLOSIONS
· Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under pres-
sure, or in the presence of explosive dust, gases or
fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regulators used in
welding operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the
6
instructions contained in the harmonized standard EN50199,
and must be used solely for professional purposes in an
industrial environment. There may be potential difficul-
ties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-
industrial environments.
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This machine is a constant direct current power source,
designed for cutting electrically conductive materials
(metals and alloys) using the plasma arc procedure. The
plasma gas may be air or nitrogen.
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF DEVICES ON THE MACHINE
A) Power cord
B) Compressed air fitting (1/4" female gas thread)
C) Mains power switch
D) Mains power led
E) Pressure regulator knob
F) Pressure gauge
G) Thermostat LED
H) Grounding cord
I) Water trap
L) Low air pressure LED
M) Cutting current regulator knob
N) Blocked LED; lights when hazardous conditions
arise.
O) LED that lights when the "SELF-RESTART PILOT"
function is active
P) Push-button to activate and deactivate the "SELF-
RESTART PILOT" function.
O) Plasma torch.
2.2 SAFETY DEVICES
This system comes equipped with the following safety
devices:
Overload cutout:
To avoid overload while cutting.
The LED G (see fig 1) lights when active.
Pneumatic:
➡ ➡ Located on the torch inlet to prevent low air pressu-
re. The LED L lights when tripped (see fig.1).
Electrical:
1) In the event of a short-circuit between the nozzle and
electrode during arc striking
2) In the event of a short-circuit between the contacts of
the reed relay on circuit 22 (see exploded drawing).
3) When the electrode is worn to the point it must be
replaced.
These conditions block the machine, and are signalled by
the lit LED N.
4) In addition, this machine is equipped with automatic
selection of the supply voltage and the following protec-
tions:
A) 230V Power supply: during start-up, the machine
remains blocked (LED N lit) if the voltage is below 200V.
After start-up, the machine runs at as low as 180V.
