WARNING !
Before starting with cutting operations verify that the parts
are properly assembled by inspecting the head of the torch
as shown on paragraph "TORCH MAINTENANCE".
LOCATION AND HANDLING OF POWER SOURCE
- Choose location verifying that there is a good air flow and
no dust, smoke or gas is present.
- Make sure that obstacles do not prevent the cooling air
flow out of front and rear openings of the machine.
- Arrange on a level surface
mm. around the machine.
- In case the machine has to be moved always disconnect
the plug from the outlet and gather the cables and pipes so
as not to damage them.
- Check for the belt to be set in the correct position for lifting
the machine (Fig. L).
WARNING !
Air with considerable quantities of humidity or oil may
cause an excessive wear of the parts or even damage
the torch.
CONTROL, WARNING
DEVICES.
POWER SOURCE
Figure (B-C) See drawing of back and front panel
1. GENERAL SWITCH O - I. (Fig.C-1)
In position I (ON) the machine is ready for functioning green
signal light and green led (Fig.B-6) indicating mains ON
are lit.
Control and duty circuits are fed but there is no voltage in
the torch (STAND BY).
In position 0 (OFF) any functioning is inhibited, control
devices and warnings light are off.
2. CUTTING CURRENT POTENTIOMETER (Fig. B-D)
It allows to set the intensity of cutting current supplied by the
machine according to the use (thickness of material/speed).
See TECHNICAL DA TA for proper relation of intermittence
on/stand by to be adopted according to selected range.
(period = 10 min.).
Tab.2 shows the cutting rate as a function of thickness for
materials in aluminium, iron and steel at a maximum current
of 25A.
3.ENERGIZED TORCH (YELLOW SIGNAL LIGHT).
(Fig.B-3)
- When lit it shows that cutting circuit has been
activated: Pilot arc or cutting arc "ON".
- It is usually off (disengaged cutting circuit) with non
activated torch button (stand by).
- It is off, with torch button pushed, under following
conditions:
- During POSTGAS (>30s) phases.
- If the pilot arc is not moved to the part within max. 2
seconds.
- If the cutting arc interrupts because it is too far from the
torch-part, or the electrode is worn out, or the torch has
been forced away from the part.
- In presence of a SECURITY system.
4. THERMAL CUTOUT AND ABNORMAL VOL TAGE
( YELLOW LED for general warning)
- When lit, it signals overheating of some component in the
power circuit, or abnormal input voltage of the power
an open space of at least 500

supply (undervoltage or voltage surge)
- During this phase machine operation is disabled.
- Reset is automatic (the YELLOW led goes off) 4 sec after
the abnormal value (as described above) returns within
the permitted limits.
5.COMPRESSOR THERMAL SAFETY (RED warning
LED - Fig. B-5)
When lit, it signals overheating of electric motor wiring
inside arc compressor

17- Symbols referring to safety standards
TORCH
- The torch button is the only control device which can start
and stop cutting operations.
- When button is released the cycle is immediately and
always stopped with the exception of cooling air (post-air).
- Accidental manoeuvres: in order to start cycle button
must be pushed at least 500 ms.
CUTTING OPERATIONS
PRELIMINARIES.
- Check and follow instructions as foreseen in the
paragraphs 1 SAFETY and 2 INSTALLATION of the
present instruction manual.
- Close (bring to position I) automatic mains switch and
general machine switch in sequence.
- Choose, by turning the cutting current potentiometer, the
most suitable position to the work to be performed.
- Push and release torch button causing air outflow (≥20s
post air). .
- Let air outflow terminate spontaneously to facilitate
removal of condense which settled on the torch.
CUTTING
Cutting mode:
WITH THE TORCH it is necessary to work with the
NOZZLE IN CONTACT.
WARNING!
-Making an unprepared contact cut will cause rapid wear of
the torch nozzle. Bring the torch nozzle near the edge of the
