accessible in the cutting area.

GENERAL INFORMATION

PLASMA ARC AND BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE
PERFORMANCE OF PLASMA CUTTING.
- Plasma is a gas that is heated to an extremely high
temperature and ionised so that it becomes a conductor of
electricity.
- This cutting procedure utilises the plasma to transfer the
electric arc to the metal workpiece, which is melted by the
heat and then separated.
- The torch uses compressed air from a single source, for
both the plasma and cooling and protective gas.
- The start of the cycle is determined by an arc, called the
pilot arc, which is struck between the mobile electrode ( -
ve polarity) and the torch nozzle ( +ve polarity ) due to the
short circuit between these two elements.
- When the torch is brought into direct contact with the
workpiece to be cut (connected to the +ve polarity of the
power source) the pilot arc is transferred between the
electrode and the workpiece itself thus striking a plasma
arc, also called cutting arc.
- The duration of the pilot arc is set in the factory at 2 sec; if
the transfer has not been made within this time, the cycle
is automatically stopped except for the cooling air which is
kept on.
- To recommence the cycle, the torch button must be
released and pressed again.

WARNING !
SAFETY OF PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM.
Only the type of torch and its relative connection to the
power source indicated in the "TECHNICAL DATA" ensure
the efficacy of the safety measures adopted by the
manufacturer (interblocking system).
- DO NOT USE torches and relative consumables different
from original ones.
- DO NOT TRY TO FIT
procedures to this power source, if they are not described
in these instructions.
- IF THESE RULES ARE NOT OBSERVED serious
dangers may occur both to the user and to the machine.
INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The machine must be connected to a Line-Neutral system
with a "PE" protected grounding wire.
Check that the relevant socket terminal is actually
connected to the distribution system grounding.
CONNECTION TO GROUND CABLE
Connect the work cable clamp to the piece to be cut or to the
metallic workbench.Take following precautions:
- VERIFY THAT THERE IS A GOOD ELECTRIC CONTACT
PARTICULARLY IF INSULA TED OR OXIDA TED COATED
SHEETS ARE CUT.
- MAKE GROUND CONNECTION AS CLOSE AS
POSSIBLE TO CUTTING AREA.
- THE USE OF METALLIC STRUCTURES WHICH ARE
NOT PART OF THE WORKPIECE, SUCH AS THE
RETURN CABLE OF THE CUTTING CURRENT, MAY
ENDANGER THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND GIVE POOR
CUTTING RESULT S.
- DO NOT MAKE A GROUND CONNECTION ON THE
PIECE WHICH HAS TO BE REMOVED.
