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