Connect the grounding clamp to the workpiece. The cutting circuit must not be deliberately placed in
direct or indirect contact with the protective wire except in the workpiece. If the workpiece is deliber-
ately grounded using the protective conductor, the connection must be as direct as possible and use a
wire of at least the same size as the cutting current return wire, and connected to the workpiece at the
same point as the return wire clamp or a second grounding clamp placed in the immediate vicinity.
Every precaution must be taken avoid stray currents. Use the knob to select the cutting current. Make
sure that the grounding clamp and workpiece have a good electrical contact, especially with painted,
oxidized or insulated sheet metal. Do not connect the grounding damp to the part of the material that
is to be removed. Press the torch trigger to strike the pilot arc.
Begin cutting as shown in fig. 5a, avoid starting as shown in fig. 5b. Further during cutting operation
the torch have to keep in contact with workpiece in order to avoid torch overheating (Picture 5c) Hold
the torch upright while cutting.
When you have finished cutting and released the trigger, air will continue to leave the torch for approx-
imately 40 seconds to allow the torch to cool down.
It is best not to turn the machine off until this cool-down period is complete.
For best cutting performances, see Tab. 4: Spare parts To cut perforated or grid metal, after any cut-
ting cycle, pilot arc switch on for next cutting cycle. After 4 sec. Without cutting the arc pilot Wil! Switch
off.
Use this function only if necessary to avoid unnecessary wear on the electrode and nozzle.
Should you need to make holes or begin cutting from the center of the workpiece.
You must hold the torch at an angle and slowly straighten it so that the nozzle.
Does not spray molten metal (see Picture 6).
This must be done when making holes in pieces more than 3 mm thick.
Replacing consumer parts
Always shut off the machine before replacing consumer parts.
The electrode must be replaced when it has a crater in the center approximately 1mm deep.
The diffuser must be replaced when some areas are blackened. Due to its small
size' is very important to position it correctly during assembly.
The gas nozzle or tip cutting must be replaced when the hole is no longer
smooth and the cutting capacity is diminished.
The nozzle holder must be replaced when the insulating part is deteriorated.
For the best cutting performances, use the following tip cutting-nozzle holder combination ( for
