5. MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS INVERTER PLASMA CUTTER
This is a perfectly functioning, high performance and advanced technology digital plasma cutting
machine. The Elite CUT 40 S is an ultra-portable plasma cutting system suitable for a variety of
applications and requirements.
Intended for manual cutting application. The Elite CUT 40 S can cut conductive metal such as
low carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
The advanced design concept and the application of many modern technologies further protect
the user's investment.
The Elite CUT 40 S plasma cutting machine adopts international leading MUC digital intelligent
control technology, and the main parts are run through software. It is a digital control plasma
cutting machine, improved in many of its functions and performance compared to the traditional
plasma cutting machine.
Advanced digital control mode
Converts AC 50/60 Hz input voltage to DC. Through PWM technology and power IGBT modules,
the machine inverts this DC to a high voltage AC wave with a frequency of 30 to 100 KHz. The
voltage then drops and is rectified to DC output the Power Source for welding. The machine
adopts the switching inverter technology for the power supply, which greatly reduces the volume
and weight of the plasma cutter, and obviously improves the efficiency. The inverter operates at
frequencies higher than audible, which virtually eliminates noise pollution.
Advanced Inverter Technology
We generally speak of inverter machines with analog circuit control, or with analog circuits and
digital circuit control. Performance characteristics are determined by the parameters of various
components. The performance of machines differs because of these parameters, even for
machines of the same brand, their parameters often differ from each other. Also, the performan-
ce of the machine may change to some extent, as the parameters of the components may vary
depending on the environment, such as temperature and humidity, etc. One of the characteris-
tics of digital control is that it is not sensitive to changing parameters; The performance of the
machine will not be affected by changing the parameters of certain parts. Therefore, the consis-
tency and stability of the digital control cutter is better than that of the traditional cutter.
Stable performance and consistency

This machine is economical and practical since it can cut metals using compressed air as the
plasma gas source. Cutting speed increases 1.8 times compared to cutting with oxyacetylene.
It can cut thick steel plates such as stainless steel, copper, cast iron and aluminum conveniently
and quickly. It is easy to start the arc using the pilot arc ignition mode, and the post-flow function
is available. With simple operation and high cutting speed, a smooth cutting surface can be
obtained, and polishing is unnecessary.

6. SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS
Duty cycle is the percentage of time that the welding machine can deliver continuous welding
current, in a period of 10 minutes. In this machine this value is 50% when the output current is
set at the maximum of 220A and the ambient temperature is 40 ° C. This percentage increases
as the set output current decreases and / or the ambient temperature decreases. Continuous
use of the cutting machine can lead to overheating and, frequently reaching the maximum duty
cycle of the machine, by using it excessively, can accelerate the aging of the internal compo-
nents or even burn them.

The torch consumables are interchangeable and available from our authorized dealers. To
change consumables, unscrew the shield cap, remove the nozzle, unscrew the electrode and
remove the swirl ring. Replace the worn parts and screw them back together in the reverse order
as above.
1. Make sure that the place of installation of the machine can support the weight of the machine.
2.Do not install the machine in places where water droplets may splash, such as near pipes.
3.Cutting should be done in a dry environment with humidity of 90% or less.
4.The temperature of the work environment must be between -10º and 40º.
5. Avoid mowing outdoors unless it is protected from sunlight and rain. Keep it dry at all times
and do not place it on wet ground or in puddles.
6.Avoid cutting in dusty areas or environments with corrosive chemical gas.
7.Do not perform welding with the cutting machine placed on a platform with a pitch greater than
10°.
The overcurrent / overvoltage / overheat protection circuit is installed in this machine. When the
mains voltage, the output current or the internal temperature exceeds the set standard, the

Good ventilation
This cutting machine can create powerful cutting current and has strict cooling requirements that
cannot be met with natural ventilation. Therefore, the built-in fan is very important to enable the
machine to run stable with effective cooling. The operator must ensure that the fan grids are
uncovered and unlocked.
Overvoltage is prohibited
This machine is automatic voltage compensation, which ensures that the cutting current varies
within the assigned range. In case the input mains voltage exceeds the tolerance value, it could
damage the machine.
The operator must fully understand this circumstance and take appropriate precautions.
Overloading is prohibited
Remember to observe the maximum charge current at any time (refer to the corresponding duty
cycle). Make sure that the cutting current should not exceed the maximum load current.
Overloading could obviously shorten the life of the machine, or even damage it.
With the yellow LED on on the front panel a sudden stop can occur while the machine is in an
overload state. In this circumstance, it is not necessary to restart the machine. Keep the built-in
fan running to lower the temperature inside the machine. Cutting can continue after the internal
temperature is within the standard range and the yellow LED is off.

10. MACHINE OPERATION
1.Turn on the machine's power switch and the power indicator will light.
2.Select the proper working mode and proper function.
3.Push the trigger of the cutting torch, the cutting machine will start to work.
4.Adjust the cutting current according to the thickness of the workpiece.
5.Put the copper nozzle of the cutting torch in contact with the workpiece (For models with pilot
arc function, keep approximately 2mm between the copper nozzle of the torch and the workpie-
ce) and push the torch trigger. After the arc is on and starts, raise the cutting torch to the position
approximately 1mm above the workpiece, and start cutting.
GOOD MACHINE MAINTENANCE WILL AVOID A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF FAILURES
It is recommended not to light the arc in the air if it is not necessary, as it will shorten
the life of the electrode and torch nozzle.
It is recommended to start the cut from the edge of the workpiece, unless penetration
is required.
Make sure splatter come out of the bottom of the workpiece while cutting. If spatter
comes off the top of the workpiece, it indicates that the workpiece cannot be cut com-
pletely because the cutting torch is moving too fast or the cutting current is too low.
Keep the nozzle lightly touching the workpiece or keep a short distance between the
nozzle and the workpiece. If the torch is pressed against the workpiece, the nozzle
may stick to the workpiece, and smooth cutting will not occur.
For curved cuts or to satisfy precise cuts, mold plates or other auxiliary tools are
needed.
It is recommended to pull the cutting torch while cutting.
Hold the cutting torch nozzle upright over the workpiece and check if the arc is
moving with the cutting line. If the space is not sufficient, do not bend the cable too
much, step on or press on the cable to avoid choking the air flow. The cutting torch
can burn out because the air flow is too small. Keep torch cord away from edges of
.tools.

The workpiece is not cut completely
This can be caused by:
• Cutting current is too low.
• The cutting speed is too high.
• The torch electrode and nozzle are burned out. The workpiece is too thick.
Molten slag falls from the bottom of the workpiece
This can be caused by:
• The cutting speed is too slow.
• The torch electrode and nozzle are burned out.
• Cutting current is too high.
Please clean the splashes on the nozzle promptly, as it will affect the cooling effect
of the nozzle. Clean the dust and splashes on the torch head after daily use to ensure
a good cooling effect.
TIPS:
TABLE OF CUTTING PARAMETERS
Select the appropriate current based on the table of cutting parameters, workpiece material,
cutting thickness and cutting speed, etc. (The values in the following table are approximate.)

11. ELECTRODE AND NOZZLE REPLACEMENT
When the following circumstances occur, the electrode and nozzle must be replaced. Otherwise
there will be a strong arc on the nozzle that will break the nozzle and the electrode, or even burn
the torch. Different model nozzles are different, so make sure the nozzle is the same model
when replacing it.
• Worn electrode ＞1.5mm
• Deformed nozzle
• Decreasing cutting speed, arc with green flame
• Arc ignition problems
• Irregular cut
