ABOUT THE MACHINE
The welding machines are rectifiers adopting the most advanced inverter technology,
which can apply in plasma cutting system of using pressing air.
The development of inverter gas-shielded welding equipment benefits from the
development of the inverter power supply theory and components. Inverter current firstly
commutates the working voltage of 50/60 HZ TO Direct Current. (DC). Then inverter
gas-shielded welding power source utilizes high-power component IGBT to transfer
50/60HZ frequency, then reduces the voltage and commutates, and exports high-power
voltage via PWM technology, resulting in the great reduce of the main transformer’s weight
and volume and the efficiency increasing by 30%. Arc initiation system adopts HF surging
theory. It is easy for arc initiation and have function for early feeding air and shutting air
and its characteristics are arc stable, reliable, portable, power saving and no electromagnetic
noise ,high speed of cutting, the glabrous shear-out and without polish.
Plasma Cutting Machine series can product the stronger, the more concentrated and
the more stable arc. The arc is pressed fiercely by the quickly flowing air and the
temperature can be up to 10000-15000 centigrade degree. That forms the electrolyte estate
and then form strong plasma arc. It has the functions of arc initiation current, arc stop
current, welding current, basic value current, current ascending time, current descending
time, gas delay time, continuous adjustment. What’s more, pulse frequency and pulse duty
can also be adjusted independently. It has the characteristics of automatic control of arc
initiation, arc stop and stable arc, which make the best result for shape and inner quality of
the welding surface. Its exclusive design is especially suitable for bicycle industry.
Compared with the others cutting machine ,the cutting machine series are using the
advanced electron circuit to supply the quick power and control it .Moreover, they have
top-ranking cutting operation and the extremely high transfer efficiency .
The welding machine series can easily design into different cutting power, and the
output current is constant and adjustable as well as excellent operation performance. In
common situation its transfer efficiency is above 85%.
The machine is used widely, it is easier to design into welding machine with different
dynamic characteristics. And it can weld stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and other color
metal, and also can be used for traditional electric welding.
Thanks for purchasing our products and hope for your precious advice. We will be
dedicated to produce the best products and offer the best service.

INSTALLATION
The plasma cutter is equipped with power voltage compensation equipment. When
power voltage fluctuation between±15% of rated voltage, it still can work normally.
When the machine is used with long cables, in order to prevent voltage from going
down, bigger section cable is suggested. If cable is too long, it may affect the performance
of the power system. So we suggest you use cables of configured length..
1.Make sure the intake of the machine not blocked or covered to avoid the malfunction of
system.
2.Use cable (section not less than 6mm)to connect the housing and the ground. The way is
from the connecting screw in the back of the power source, or make sure ground firmly.
For absolute safety, both ways can be used.
3.Use pressure-resisting air pipe to connect the air intake and compressed air source, and
use hoop and other way to tighten the joint. Air source should supply suitable pressure,
flow and be dry. If your air source does not meet the above requirements, you
should consider using sole compressor of the right power and air-decompressing filter, in
order to supply suitable pressure and eliminate the impurity and moisture in the air.
4.Install the air-electricity system plug to the socket in the panel and fix it clockwise. Air
plug of the cutting torch and arc-keeping cable(forCUT80/100/160) should be connected
to relevant socket, and fix the screw.
5.Put the loop cable plug to the fastening socket,
and tighten clockwise, another terminal holds the

NOTICE
：
In order to let Plasma cutting machine to reach its best capacity and result, current
and air pressure must be matched well. So when the current is set, the pressure and
flow must be adjusted suitably. If the air flow is too big and cooling effect is too
strong, it will cause arc pause, and if the air flow is too small, the nozzle and
electrode will be too hot and burnt out.

NOTES OR PREVENTIVE MEASURES
1
、
Environment
1）The machine can be performed in environment where conditions are dry with a
dampness lever of max 90%.
2）Ambient temperature is between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade.

Safety norms
The cutting machine has been installed protection circuit of over voltage and over
current and over heat. When voltage and output current and temperature of machine are
exceeding the rate standard, welding machine will stop working automatically. Because
that will be damage to welding machine, user must pay attention to the following notice.
1）The working area is adequately ventilated
！
The cutting machine is powerful machine, when it is being operated, it is generated by
high currents, and natural wind will not satisfy machine cool demands. So there is a fan
in inter-machine to cool down machine. Make sure the intake is not in block or covered,
it is 0.3 meter from welding machine to objects of environment. User should make sure
the working area is adequately ventilated. It is important for the performance and the
longevity of the machine.
2）Do not over load
！
The operator should remember to watch the max duty current (Response to the selected
duty cycle).
Keep welding current is not exceed max duty cycle current.
Over-load current will damage and burn up machine.
3）No over voltage
！
Power voltage can be found in diagram of main technical data. Automatic compensation
circuit of voltage will assure that welding current kept in allowable arrangement. If
power voltage is exceeding allowance arrangement limited, it will damage the
components of machine. The operator should understand the situation and take
preventive measures.
4）There is a grounding screw behind welding machine, with grounding marker on it
Mantle must be grounded reliable with cable which section is over 6 square millimeter
in order to prevent from static electricity and leaking.
5）If welding time is exceeded duty cycle limited, welding machine will stop working
for protection. If the machine is overheated, temperature control switch is on “ON’’
position and the indicator light is red. In this situation, you don’t have to pull the plug,
in order to let the fan cool the machine. When the indicator light is off, and the
temperature goes down to the standard range, so it can weld again.

QUESTIONS IS BE RUN INTO DURIGN WELDING
Fittings, welding materials, environment factor, supply powers maybe have something to
do with welding. User must try to improve the level of welding environment.
A、Cutting surface is rough, poor cutting result
The machine may be not well operated. You can check it as follow:
1. Make sure the compressed air supply has enough pressure which is not less than 0.3MPa
（3Kg/cm2）, and its range is±0.05Mpa.
2. Electrode and nozzle are not matched with current. Check as follow:
Current 10-30A 30-40A 60-100A 100-120A
Nozzle φ1.0mm φ1.2mm φ1.3mm φ1.4mm
B、Arc-striking is difficult and easy to pause:
1. Make sure quality of tungsten electrode is high.
2. Cutting current is too small and air flow is too big. And if cooling effect is too strong, it
will lead to arc pause.
3. Power net voltage is low and input cable is too long.
C、Output current is not up to the rated value：
When power voltage departs from the rated value, it will make the output current not
matched with rated value; When voltage is lower than rated value, the max output may be
also lower than rated value.
D、Current is not stabilizing when machine is been operating：
It has something to do with factors as following :
1. Electric wire net voltage has been changed .
2. There is harmful interference from electric wire net or other equipment .
E、Electrode or nozzle burnt often:
1. Current is too big or nozzle is too small.
2. Air pressure is low and cooling effect is weak and nozzle is too hot.
F、Arc can not cut into the steel plate fully, or too much spatter.
1. Maybe the machine capacity can not meet the demand of that thickness, please use bigger
machine.
2. Electrode or nozzle is burnt, please change it.
For normal operation you should cut from the edge of the work piece, in
this way you can protect the torch from damage by spatter conglutination.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
：
Before maintenance and checking, power must be turned off, and before
opening the housing, make sure the power plug is pulled off..
1、Remove dust by dry and clean compressed air regularly, if welding machine is operating
in environment where is polluted with smokes and pollution air, the machine need
removing dust everyday.
2、Pressure of compressed air must be inside the reasonable arrangement in order to
prevent damaging to small components of inter-machine.
3、Check inter circuit of welding machine regularly and make sure the cable
circuit is connected correctly and connectors are connected tightly (especially insert
connector and components). If scale and loose are found, please give a good polish to
them, then connect them again tightly.
4、Avoid water and steam enter into inter-machine, if they enter into machine, please dry
inter-machine then check insulation of machine.
5、If welding machine will not be operated long time, it must be put into packing box
And store in dry environment.
6、When wire machine operates for every 300 hours, the electric carbon brush and armature
rectifier should be polished, the reducer should be cleaned, and lubricator should be
added to the turbo and bearing.
