1.INTRODUCTION
Dear consumer,
ALFA IN a.s. Thank you for purchasing our product and we believe that you will
be satisfied with our machine.
The SVAROG 85 PLASMA CNC machine is designed for cutting metals on the
basis of modern technology of material cutting by means of a thin jet of plasma
gas. This technology has several advantages over other methods
1. High cutting speed
2. Quality cut with a minimum area of the changed material structure
3. Smaller thermal deformations of the cut material
4. Possibility of cutting carbon and high-alloy, stainless steels and non-
ferrous metals
5. The method does not require any special gases
6. Lower costs
SVAROG 85 PLASMA CNC is equipped with a proportional valve that allows
precise automatic and synergic settings of the required working pressure of the
cutting gas (according to the cutting mode and the cutting current). As well the
manual settings of the cutting gas pressure can be adjusted right from the control
panel.
The machine is equipped with the ecological function "fan on demand". If cooling
is not required, the machine automatically shuts off the fan.
The CNC models support the cutting arc remote control of the CNC table
controllers.
SVAROG 85 PLASMA CNC is designed for high-quality cutting of materials up
to 30 mm thick mild steel. Productive cutting of carbon steel can be to a
thickness of 20 mm. At lower demands on the quality of the cut can be cut
through (separate) the material thickness to 35 mm. Maximal piercing is 25 mm
(mild steel). For more data see TECHNICAL DATA.
We reserve the law of adjustments and changes in case of printing errors,
change of technical parameters, accessories etc. without previous notice. These
changes may not be reflected in the manuals for use in paper or electronic form.

Note
The machine torch cannot be used for versions without CNC!
Note
1. It is forbidden to operate a machine with damaged insulation of the
cutting torch or supply cable.
2. Never operate the machine taken down or damaged covers.
3. In addition to the risk of injury, the cooling efficiency decreases and the
level of interference increases.
4. It is forbidden to operate the machine in wet environments and outdoors
in rain or snow.
5. Ensure proper grounding clamping pliers, which also reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. Use prescribed protective utilities, keep them dry.
7. Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions
that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers,
hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work
near plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health
professional and the manufacturer of the health equipment to determine
whether a hazard exists.
8. The cutting and pilot arc is a source of very intense light and especially
ultraviolet radiation. This radiation can significantly damage the eyesight
in a veryshort time and,with prolonged exposure, causes redness to burns
of uncovered parts of the skin.
9. Use a welding helmet equipped with an intact filter with a degree of
protection of min. 10.
10. The risk of burns arises when cutting from flying hot metal particles,
plasma arc and hot cut material. A thin beam of red-hot plasma (4th state
of matter) reaches up to 10,000 ° C in its core!
11. Never point the torch at the eyes, body or other person during
ignition.
12. Always wear good quality and undamaged welding gloves, apron
and welding clothing, including closed shoes and headgear.
13. During cutting, a large amount of gaseous emissions and dust
particles is formed from the material being cut.
14. High temperatures lead to chemical reactions and the formation of
various oxides andothercompounds, some of which are harmfulto health.
15. Particularly hazardous fumes are produced when cutting material
containing lead, beryllium, cadmium (cadmium-plated parts) and painted
materials.
16. Ultraviolet radiation and high temperatures also produce significant
amounts of ozone and nitrogen oxides.

17. Exceeding the concentration of these gases above the values given
by hygienic standards can cause damage to health, especially with
prolonged exposure.
18. Workplaces must be well ventilated and equipped with an effective
extraction system.
19. In addition, a breathing mask must be used when cutting material
where particularly hazardous fumes are generated.
20. During its operation, the machine produces noise, the level of which
reaches the value of 80-85 dB.
21. We recommend using hearing protection for longer work.

Pressure air source requirements
The supply air pressure must not exceed 8.5 bar and must not be less than 6.5
bar. The operating pressure and air consumption for the prescribed torch are
given in chapter Chyba! Nenalezen zdroj odkazů..
For reliable operation of the plasma cutter and quality cuts, we recommend the
following recommendations when selecting the appropriate type of compressor:
1. The compressor must be able to deliver a minimum of 295/370 litres/min
of compressed air permanently. This parameter is referred to in the
catalogues as the so-called "compressed air capacity“.
NoticeNot to be confused with „suctioned quantity"!
2. The aerator must be equipped with a drain valve.
3. It is essentialthat the compressor is equippedwith acompressed air cooler
or a sufficiently large air receiver. Otherwise, heated air enters the
distribution system and may contain significant amounts of water that
cannot be captured in the separators. As the air cools after it passes
through the ducts, it may reach the dew point, causing water droplets to
be expelled, which may be after the separator. The optimum size of the
airbox is at least 100 litres.
4. An efficient filter with sufficient capacity, an oil and condensate separator
or a pressure regulator must be installed at the outlet if the compressor
operating pressure is higher than 8.5 bar. These elements must be rated
for a flow rate of at least 370 l/min so as not to cause a drop in outlet
pressure during cutting.
5. The inside of the airbox should be coated against corrosion.

10/32
ALFA IN a.s ©www.alfain.eu
6. The compressor intake should be fitted with an efficient intake air filter,
especially for mobile compressors when operating in dusty environments.
CautionSome compressors have a built-in pressure air mixer at the
outlet. Under no circumstances must the plasma cutter be connected to
this outlet! This would contaminate the entire pneumatic system and could
damage the torch.
Connection to the central air distribution system
1. Before connecting, determine the working pressure in the system and the
extent of its fluctuation.
2. During cutting, the working pressure must be between 5.0 and 6.0 bar. To
achieve maximum cutting performance, we recommend that the pressure
does not drop below 5.5 bar.
3. Check the performance and technical condition of the central
compressor(s). The same requirements as above apply here.
4. Check the design and condition of pressure air filtration and condensate
trapping.
5. Ensure that the system is not centrally lubricated.
6. Include an additional filter and separator at the connection point closest to
the cutter. This is particularly important for older pipes made of
conventional steel pipes where the inner walls may be badly corroded. A
filter and separator is essential for systems with long ducts that pass
through cold environments where the compressed air may cool to the dew
point, causing condensation of water droplets.
