• Never wrap the cutting cable around your body.
• Guide cutting cables together. Welding shield-specific safety instruc-
tions
• With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) examine the prop-
er 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 over the age of 16.
• 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, for
example:
• In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted, such that
the operator is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling, sitting, ly-
ing) and is touching electrically conductive parts;
Safety regulations

Kapitelüberschrift

Safety regulations
• In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms of
electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through avoida-
ble or accidental touching by the operator;
• In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or weld sig-
nificantly 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.
Plasma cutting in tight spaces
• When welding and plasma cutting in tight spaces this may pose a haz-
ard through toxic gases (risk of suffocation). In tight spaces the device
may only be operated if there are trained individuals in the immedi-
ate vicinity who can intervene if necessary. In this case, before start-
ing to use the plasma cutter, an expert must carry out an assessment
in order to determine what steps are necessary, in order to guaran-
tee safety at work and which precautionary measures should be tak-
en during the actual cutting procedure.
Total of open circuit voltages
• When more than one plasma power source is operated at the same
time, their open circuit 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 (not included).
This is intended to prevent:
• The risk of losing your balance if the lines or hoses which are connect-
ed are pulled.

Kapitelüberschrift

• The increased risk of an electric shock as the operator comes into con-
tact with the earth if he/she is using a Class I plasma cutter, the hous-
ing of which is earthed through its conductor.
Protective clothing
• At work, the operator must protect his/her whole body by using ap-
propriate 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!”. 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 pro-
tected to prevent rays being transmitted or reflecting through them,
e.g. by using suitable paint.
EMC Device Classification
• According to standard IEC 60974-10, it has to do with a plasma cut-
ter with class A electromagnetic compatibility. Thus, it meets the ap-
propriate requirements in the industrial and residential area. In res-
idential areas, it can be connected to the public low-voltage supply
network. Even if the plasma cutter complies with the emission level
as per the standard, the plasma cutter can still result in electromag-
netic disturbances in sensitive systems and devices. The operator is
responsible for malfunctions that occur through the arc while plasma

cutting and must take suitable protective measures. In doing so, the
operator must consider the following:
• Power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines
• Computer and other microprocessor 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 ra-
diation:
• The plasma cutter must be regularly maintained and kept in a 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 re-
moved 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 negative-
ly charged electrode that is directly above the nozzle. The vortex ring
causes the plasma to rotate quickly. If you supply the negative elec-
trode 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 17.000 ºC 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 cur-
rent is supplied to the electrode and the plasma remains in contact
with the metal to be processed. The cutting nozzle has a range of fur-
ther channels. These channels generate a constant flow of protective

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”.
Installation environment
Make sure that 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 distance of at least 0.5 m all
around.
• Ventilation slots must not be blocked or covered.
• The device must not be used 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.
Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology in accordance
with recognized safety rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may
still exist.
• Injury through electric current if incorrect electric connection leads
are used.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some remaining hazards
which are not yet evident may still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following the safety instruc-
tions as well as the instructions in the chapter Authorized use and in
the entire operating manual.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper elec-
trical connection cables.
• Release the handle button and switch off the machine prior to any op-
erations.
• Avoid accidental starts of the machine: Do not press the start button
while inserting the plug into the socket.
• Use the tools recommended in this manual to obtain the best results
from your machine.

Safety regulations/Attachment/Before starting the equipment
• Always keep hands away from the work area when the machine is
running.
• Eye injuries due to glare,
• Touching hot parts of the device or workpiece (burn injury),
• In case of improper protection risk of accident and fire through sparks
and slag particles,
• Harmful emissions from smoke and gases if there is a lack of air or if
closed rooms are insufficiently extracted.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants un-
der certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or dead-
ly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior
to operating the electric tool.
Attachment / Before starting the equipment
Connecting the cutting torch
• Insert the plasma burner plug (10a) into the plasma burner connection socket (10)
and tighten the union nut hand-tight (see Fig. 1,3 + 4).
• Insert the plasma burner power plug (11a) into the plasma burner power socket (11)
and tighten the union nut hand-tight (see Fig. 1,3 + 4).
Connecting the ground cable
• Connect the ground terminal plug (9a) with the ground terminal connection socket
(9). Make sure that the connecting shaft is first connected and then turned. The
connecting shaft must face upwards when plugging in the ground terminal plug
(9a). After plugging in, the connecting shaft must be rotated in a clockwise direc-
tion until it reaches the stop, in order to lock it in place (see Fig. 1,3 + 5). This does
not require force!
Connect the compressed air hose
• Connect the compressed air hose (19) on the back of the plasma cutter to the com-
pressed air connection (19a). To do so, insert the side of the compressed air hose
into the compressed air connection (19a) of the plasma cutter without a quick con-
nector (see Fig. 9).

Kapitelüberschrift

• The pressure can be set via the rotary knob to regulate the pressure (21) on the
condensate separator (see Fig. 9 - 12). Select a pressure of 4–4.5 bar.
• In order to release the compressed air hose (19), you must press the locking mech-
anism of the compressed air connection (19a) and pull out the compressed air hose
(19) at the same time.
The compressed air source (not included) must have a filter and regulator.
mIMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time!
mATTENTION!
The ceramic cap (15) must only be screwed on to the plasma burner (13) once it
has been equipped with the electrode (18), the diffuser (17) and the nozzle (16).
If these parts are missing, the device may malfunction and it may create a haz-
ard for the operating personnel.
Operation
1. Set the plasma cutter up in a dry and well ventilated area in the vicinity of the
workpiece.
2. Clamp the ground terminal clamp (5) to the workpiece to be cut and make sure
that there is a good electrical contact.
3. Turn the compressed air supply on.
4. Press the On/off switch (24) to position I.
5. Set the cutting current on the current controller (12). If the arc beam is interrupt-
ed, the cutting current must be set higher if necessary. If the electrode burns
through frequently, then the cutting current must be set lower.
6. To cut in the manual cutting mode, pull the plasma burner (13) across the work-
piece while maintaining a constant speed.
7. 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.
8. If the plasma burner trigger(14) is released, the plasma jet goes out and the pow-
er source switches off. The gas continues to flow for approx. 5 seconds in order
to cool the burner. The same process is followed when the workpiece is pulled
out with a pressed plasma burner trigger (14). During the gas post-flow time, the

complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also com-
ply with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threaten-
ing due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the con-
nection cable does not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
Only use connection cables with the marking „H07RN“.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.

On-load factor*= is the percentage of the operating time, in which the machine can
be used continuously under normal temperature conditions. In relation to a 10-min-
ute time period this means, for example, that with a duty cycle of 20%, that it can be
used for 2 minutes and then there should be a break of 8 minutes. If you exceed the
duty cycle values then this will trigger the overheating protection which will bring
the device to a stop until it has cooled down to the normal working temperature. Ex-
ceeding the duty cycle values continuously can damage the device.
