Table 1-6: Configuration of CUT100(L201)
CUT series are inverter cutting machines made by our company with advanced inverter technology.
They are more mature products with stable performance. With PWM technology and high power
component MOSFET (or IGBT), it inverts the DC voltage, which is rectified from 50Hz/60Hz
input AC voltage, to 30K~100KHz AC high voltage. Then the voltage is dropped and rectified to
output the high power DC power supply for cutting. The machine adopts switching power supply
inverter technology, greatly reducing the volume and weight of the cutter, and obviously enhancing
the conversion efficiency by 30%.
Features of CUT series
Economic and practical by adopting compressed air as the plasma gas source. The cutting
speed has increased by 1.8 times when compared with oxyacetylene cutting.
It can cut thick steel plate conveniently and quickly.
It is easy to ignite arc, and post-flow function is available.
It has a wide range of use, especially for cutting stainless steel, copper, cast iron and
aluminum, etc.
With simple operation and high cutting speed, smooth cutting surface can be obtained, and
polishing is unnecessary.
It adopts HF arc ignition mode.

2. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
2.1 Installation requirements
In order to ensure personal safety and avoid electric shock, please ground the machine reliably
by connecting the ground wire (yellow-green wire) of the machine to the grounding device in
the switching box.
1) Connection of input cable
A primary power supply cable is available for this cutting machine. Connect the power supply
cable to the rated input power. The primary cable should be tightly connected to the correct
socket to avoid oxidization. Check whether the voltage value varies in acceptable range with a
multi-meter.
The cross section of the leads used in the switching box should meet the requirements of the
maximum input capacity of the machine.
2) Connection of output cable
Connection of cutting torch
Connect the copper nut on the cutting torch to the
gas-electric connector on the front panel of the
machine, and tighten it clockwise to avoid gas
leakage. Insert the quick plug on the work clamp
into the “+” output terminal on the front panel of the
machine, and tighten it clockwise.
Connection of the torch trigger
Insert the plug of the torch trigger on the cutting torch
into the socket of torch trigger on the machine panel.
(For models with pilot arc function, connect the pilot
arc wire on the cutting torch to the terminal for pilot
arc wire on the machine panel.) Install the electrode
into the cutting torch by turning it slowly, and tighten
it. Then, get the nozzle and protective sleeve installed
in sequence.
Connection of earth cable
Insert the quick plug on the earth cable into the quick
socket marked with “ ” at the bottom of the front
panel of the machine, and tighten it clockwise. Clamp
the workpiece with the work clamp at the other end of
the earth cable.

2.2 Precautions
1) Make sure the place to install the machine can bear the weight of the cutting machine.
2) Do not install the machine at places where water droplet splash may be produced, such as
near water pipes.
3) Cutting should be carried out in dry environment with humidity of 90% or less.
4) The temperature of the working environment should be between -10℃ and 40℃.
5) Avoid cutting in the open air unless sheltered 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 area or environment with corrosive chemical gas.
7) Do not carry out cutting with the cutting machine placed on a platform with a pitch greater
than 10°.
3) Installation and operation of the reducer valve
Steps for reducer setting are as follows: start the gas flow; lift the pressure control knob upward;
adjust the gas pressure to the desired value by rotating the knob (rotate to “+” direction to
increase gas pressure; rotate to “-” direction to reduce gas pressure); press down the pressure
control knob to get the knob locked. Drain the water by turning the drain knob when there is too
much water in the filter cup.
－Screw the electrode into the torch head.

Overcurrent/overvoltage/overheating protection circuit is installed in this machine. When the mains
voltage, output current or inner temperature exceeds the set standard, the machine will stop
automatically. However, excessive use (e.g. too high voltage) of machine may also damage the
machine, so please note:
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 in enabling the
machine to work stable with effective cooling. The operator should make sure that the louvers be
uncovered and unblocked. The minimum distance between the machine and nearby objects
should be 25cm.
This machine is of automatic mains voltage compensation, which ensures that the cutting current
varies within the given range. In case that the input mains voltage exceeds the tolerance value,
it would possibly damage the machine. The operator should understand this circumstance fully
and adopt relevant precautions.
Remember to observe the max load current at any moment (refer to the corresponding duty
cycle). Make sure that the cutting current should not exceed the maximum load current. Overload
could obviously shorten the machine's lifespan, or even damage the machine.
A sudden halt may occur with the yellow LED on the front panel on while the machine is of
over-load status. Under this circumstance, it is unnecessary to restart the machine. Keep the
built-in fan working to lower the temperature inside the machine. Cutting can be continued after
the inner temperature falls into the standard range and the yellow LED is off.

3.4 Operation method
1) Turn on the power switch of the machine, and the power indicator illuminates.
2) Select proper working mode and proper function. There are two working modes available on
the machine panel: 2T and 4T. There are two functions available: normal cutting and metal mesh
cutting. The electrode and nozzle are more easily to wear out in metal mesh cutting.
3) Push the torch trigger on the cutting torch, the cutting machine works.
4) Set cutting current according to the thickness of workpiece.
5) Bring the copper nozzle of the cutting torch into contact with the workpiece (For models with
pilot arc function, keep a distance of about 2mm between the copper nozzle of the torch and the
workpiece.), and then push the torch trigger. After the arc is ignited and started, raise the cutting
torch to the position about 1mm above the workpiece, and start cutting.
3.5 Notes for cutting operation
It is recommended not to ignite the arc in the air if not necessary, for it
will shorten the lifespan of the electrode and nozzle of the torch.
It is recommended to initiate the cutting from the edge of workpiece,
unless penetration is needed.
Ensure spatters fly from the bottom of workpiece while cutting. If spatters
fly from the top of workpiece, it indicates that the workpiece can not be
fully cut because the cutting torch is moved too fast or the cutting current
is too low.
Keep the nozzle slightly touching the workpiece or keep a short distance
between the nozzle and workpiece. If the torch is pressed against the
workpiece, the nozzle may stick to the workpiece, and smooth cutting
is unavailable.
For cutting round workpiece or to meet precise cutting requirement,
molding board or other assistant tools are needed.
It is recommended to pull the cutting torch while cutting.
Keep the nozzle of cutting torch upright over the workpiece, and check
if the arc is moving with the cutting line. If the space is not enough,
don’t bend the cable too much, step on or press upon the cable to avoid
suffocating of gas flow. The cutting torch may be burned because the
gas flow is too small. Keep the cutting cable away from edge tools.
Clean up the spatters on the nozzle timely, for it will affect the cooling
effect of the nozzle. Clean up the dust and spatters on the torch head
after using everyday to ensure good cooling effect.

13
The workpiece is not cut fully. This may be caused by:
The cutting current is too low.
The cutting speed is too high.
The electrode and nozzle of the torch are burned.
The workpiece is too thick.
Molten slag drops from the bottom of workpiece. This may be caused by:
The cutting speed is too low.
The electrode and nozzle of the torch are burned.
The cutting current is too high.
