■ Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.

■ Please be careful because sparks and hot materials can easily fall through small gaps and openings while cutting and land on adjacent areas.

■ Please be aware that cutting on a ceiling, floor or a partition can cause a fire on the opposite side that is not visible.

■ Connect the power cable using the shortest route with a socket situated close to the workplace to prevent the power cable from being spread across the whole room and located on a surface which could cause an electric shock, sparks or fire outbreak.

- Do not use the plasma cutter to defrost frozen pipes.

Risk of electric shock:

WARNING!

▶ Electric shock from the cutting electrode can be fatal.

■ Do not use the plasma cutter when it is raining or snowing.

■ Wear dry insulating gloves.

- Do not touch the electrodes with bare hands.

- Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.

■ Protect yourself from electric shock with insulation against the workpiece.

- Do not open the device housing.

■ Additional protection against a shock from the mains power in the event a fault can be provided by using a fault-circuit interrupter, which is operated with a leakage current of no more than 30 mA and covers all mains-powered devices in close proximity. The fault-circuit interrupter must be suitable for all types of current.

■ There must be means of rapid electrical isolation of the cutting power source or the cutting circuit (e.g. emergency

stop device) which are easily accessible.

Danger from smoke emission when plasma cutting:

■ Inhalation of fumes which result from plasma cutting can endanger health.
- Do not keep your head in the fumes.
■ Use the device in open areas.
■ Only use the device in well-ventilated spaces.

Danger from flying sparks when plasma cutting:

■ Cutting sparks can cause an explosion or fire.
- Keep flammable substances away from the cutting location.
- Do not use the plasma cutter near flammable substances.
■ Cutting sparks can cause fires.
- Keep a fire extinguisher close by and an observer should be present to be able to use it immediately.
- Do not carry out plasma cutting on drums or any other closed containers.

- Welding mask-specific safety instructions

With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) examine the proper functioning of the welding shield prior to starting with any cutting work.

- Cut spatters can damage the protective screen. Immediately replace damaged or scratched protective screens.

- Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splattered components.

■ The device must only be operated by people aged 16 or over.

■ Please familiarise yourself with the cutting safety instructions.

To that end, you must also observe the safety instructions of your plasma cutter.

■ Always wear a welding helmet while welding and plasma cutting. If it is not used, you could sustain severe lesions to the retina.
■ Always wear protective clothing during welding and plasma cutting operations.
■ Never use the welding shield without the protective screen because this could damage the optical unit. There is a risk of damage to the eyes!
■ Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure good visibility and fatigue-proof work.

● Environment with increased electrical hazard

Environments with increased electrical hazard may be encountered,forexample:

In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms of electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through avoidable or accidental touching by the operator;

In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or weld significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulating properties or effect of protective equipment.

Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment with increased electrical hazard.

When using plasma cutters under electrically dangerous conditions, the output voltage of the plasma cutter must be greater than 48 volt when idling (effective value). The plasma cutter may not be used in these cases due to the output voltage.

In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted, such that the operator is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying) and is touching electrically conductive parts;

- Plasma cutting in tight spaces

When welding and plasma cutting in tight spaces this may pose a hazard through toxic gases (risk of suffocation). In tight spaces the device may only

be operated if there are trained individuals in the immediate vicinity who can intervene if necessary. In this case, before starting to use the plasma cutter, an expert must carry out an assessment in order to determine what steps are necessary, in order to guarantee safety at work and which precautionary measures should be taken during the actual cutting procedure.

• Total of no-load voltages

When more than one plasma power source is operated at the same time, their no-load voltages may add up and lead to an increased electrical hazard. The plasma power sources must be clearly marked with their individual control units and connections, in order to be able to identify which device belongs to which circuit.

• Using shoulder straps

The plasma cutter must not be used if the device is being carried e.g. with a shoulder strap. This is intended to prevent:

■ The risk of losing your balance if the lines or hoses which are connected are pulled.

The increased risk of an electric shock as the operator comes into contact with the earth if he/she is using a Class I plasma cutter, the housing of which is earthed through its conductor.

- Protective clothing

■ When working, the operator must protect his/her whole body by using appropriate clothing and face protection against radiations and burns. The following steps must be observed:

• Wear protective clothing prior to cutting work.
• Wear gloves.
• Open windows to guarantee air supply.
• Wear protective goggles.

■ Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.

■ A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying sparks and burns.

When specific work, e.g. overhead cutting, is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even head protection.

● Protection against rays and burns

Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying "Caution! Do not look into flames!" in the work area. The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from cutting work.

■ The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height must be protected to prevent rays being transmitted or reflecting through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.

• EMC Device Classification

According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a plasma cutter in electromagnetic compatibility Class A. Class A devices are devices that are suitable for use in all other areas except residential areas and areas that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply mains that (also) supplies residential buildings. Class A devices must adhere to the Class A limit values.

WARNING NOTICE: Class A

devices are intended for use in an industrial environment. Due to the power-related as well as the radiated interference variables, difficulties might arise in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments.

Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accordance with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible for faults caused by the arc while working, and the user must take suitable protective measures. In doing so, the user must consider the following:

■ power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines
■ computer and other micro-processor controlled devices.
■ television, radio and other playback devices
■ electronic and electrical safety equipment
■ persons with cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
■ measurement and calibration devices
■ noise immunity of other devices in the vicinity
■ the time of day at which the cutting work is performed.

The following is recommended to reduce possible interference radiation:

■ the plasma cutter must be regularly maintained and kept in good condition.
■ cutting cables should be completely unwound and installed parallel on the floor, if possible
■ devices and systems at risk of interference radiation must be removed from the cutting area if possible, or shielded.

- General plasma explanations

Plasma cutters are operated by pushing pressurised gas, e.g. air, through a small pipe. In the centre of the pipe, there is a negatively charged electrode that is directly above the nozzle. The vortex ring causes the plasma to rotate quickly. If you supply the negative electrode with current and make the tip of the nozzle touch the metal, this connection creates a closed, electrical circuit. A powerful spark occurs between the electrode and the metal.

While the gas flows into the pipe, the spark heats up the gas until it has reached the plasma condition. This reaction causes a current from the controlled plasma with a temperature of

16,649 °C or more that moves at speed of 6.096 m/sec and the metal transforms into steam and molten discharge. The plasma itself conducts electrical current. The working circuit that allows the arc to occur remains as long as current is supplied to the electrode and the plasma remains in contact with the metal to be processed.

The cutting nozzle has a range of further channels. These channels generate a constant flow of shielding gas around the cutting area. The pressure of the gas flow controls the radius of the plasma jet.

PLEASE NOTE!

- This machine is only designed to use compressed air as "gas".

- Before use

• Installation environment

Make sure that the working area is sufficiently ventilated. If the device is used without sufficient cooling, the power-on time reduces and it can result in overheating.

Additional protection can be required for this purpose:

■ The device must be free-standing with a gap of at least 0.5 m all around.
■ Ventilation slots must not be blocked or covered.

The device must not be used as a storage place and tools or other items must not be placed on the device.
It must be operated in a dry and well-ventilated working environment.

- Connecting compressed air

PLEASE NOTE!

▶This device is designed for operating pressure (output pressure at the compressor) of up to 6.3 bar. Please bear in mind that the pressure can lower while setting the air pressure. Thus, in a hose length measuring 10 m and an internal diameter of 9 mm it drops by approx. 0.6 bar.

The compressed air source must have a filter and regulator.

■ Connect the compressed air hose on the back of the plasma cutter 1 to the compressed air connection 20. To do so, insert the side of the compressed air hose 16 without quick connector into the compressed air connection 20 of the plasma cutter 1 (see Fig. I).
The pressure can be set via the rotary knob 21 on the condensate separator (see Fig. I–L). Select a pressure of 4–4.5 bar.
In order to release the compressed air hose 16, you must press the locking mechanism of the compressed air connection 20 and pull out the compressed air hose 16 at the same time (see Fig. I).

- Connecting the cutting burner

Pull the cover cap 12a off the plasma burner connection socket 12.

• Insert the plasma burner plug into the plasma burner connection socket 12 and tighten the union nut hand-tight (see Fig. A+B).
• Insert the plasma burner control plug into the plasma burner control socket 10 and tighten the union nut hand-tight (see Fig. A+B).

- Connecting the earthing cable

Connect the earthing clamp device plug 5a with the earthing clamp connection socket 11. Then connect the earthing clamp plug 5 with the earthing clamp connecting plug 5b. Make sure that the connecting shaft is first connected and then turned. The connecting shaft of the earthing clamp device plug 5a must point upwards when plugging in. After plugging in, the connecting shaft must be rotated in a clockwise direction until it reaches the stop, in order to lock it in place (see Fig. A+B). This does not require force!

- Using the device

- Operation

1. Set the plasma cutter 1 up in a dry and well ventilated area.
2. Position the machine in the vicinity of the workpiece.
3. Press the on/off switch 17.

4. Clamp the earthing terminal 4 onto the workpiece to be cut and make sure that there is a good electrical contact.

5. Set the cutting current on the current controller 13 . If the arc beam is interrupted the cutting current must be set higher if necessary. If the electrode burns through frequently, then the cutting current must be set lower.

6. Position the plasma burner 8 on the workpiece such that the spacer is in full contact. Push the interlocking switch 8f away from the burner tip to unlock the plasma burner button 8a. Press the plasma burner button 8a. The cutting arc is ignited.

7. Start cutting slowly and then increase the speed in order to achieve the desired cutting quality.
8. The speed must be regulated so that a good cutting capacity can be achieved.
9. When the cutting work is complete push the interlocking switch 8f back in the direction of the burner tip.

To cut in manual cutting mode, pull the overlying spacer across the workpiece while maintaining a constant speed. To achieve the perfect cut, it is important for the material thickness to comply with the correct cutting speed. If the cutting speed is too low, the cutting edge will be blunt due to the severe heat input. The optimal cutting speed is achieved once the cutting jet is slightly inclined towards the rear while cutting. If the plasma burner button 8a is released, the plasma jet goes out and the power source switches off. The gas continues to flow for approx. 5 seconds in order to cool the burner. During the gas post-flow time, the plasma cutter 1 must not be

switched off to avoid damaging the plasma burner 8 as a result of overheating.

Explanation of pilot ignition

A pilot arc is ignited by pressing the plasma torch button 8a. This creates a plasma beam on the tip of the burner sleeve 8c. This enables contactless cutting of the workpiece. Mesh and gratings can also be cut in this way.

ATTENTION!

▶The device must be left on for approx. 2–3 minutes once the cutting work has been completed. The cooler cools the electronics.

- Troubleshooting

PLEASE NOTE!

- When the trigger of the burner is pressed, the voltage required for cutting will build up inside the plasma cutter. If the power circuit is then closed, then the voltage which has built up will be discharged through the integrated spark gap. The electrical discharge which results from this within the device does not indicate a malfunction. Check that the device is installed correctly as described in "Using the device".

• Maintenance and care
• Maintaining the burner

The consumables displayed in Figure F are the electrode 8d and the burner sleeve 8c. They can be replaced once

the nozzle clamping sleeve 8b has been unscrewed.

■ The electrode must be replaced if there is a crater of approximately 1.5 mm depth in the centre.

ATTENTION!

▶To unscrew the electrode, do not apply irregular pressure, gradually increase pressure until the electrode comes out. Then screw the new electrode into the holder.

The burner sleeve ^8c must be replaced if the central bore is damaged or if it has expanded in comparison to the bore of a new nozzle. If the electrode ^8d or the burner sleeve ^8c are replaced too late, this can result in the parts overheating.

Once replaced, make sure the nozzle clamping sleeve 8b is tightened sufficiently.

ATTENTION!

▶The nozzle clamp sleeve ^8b must only be screwed on to the burner ^8 once it has been fitted with the electrode ^8d and burner sleeve ^8c .

▶If these parts are missing, the device may malfunction and it may create a hazard for the operatingpersonnel.

The warranty applies to material and manufacturing defects only. This warranty does not extend to product parts, which are subject to normal wear and tear and can thus be regarded as consumable parts, or for damages to fragile parts, e.g. switches, rechargeable batteries or parts made from glass.

This warranty is voided if the product becomes damaged or is improperly used or maintained. For proper use of the product, all of the instructions given in the operating instructions must be followed precisely. If the operating instructions advise you or warn you against certain uses or actions, these must be avoided in all circumstances.

The product is for consumer use only and is not intended for commercial or trade use.

The warranty becomes void in the event of misuse and improper use, use of force, and any work on the device that has not been carried out by our authorised service branch.
