Description of LINC-CUT®S 1020w-1530w
The LINC-CUT®S 1020w-1530w solution is a plasma cutting machine that is quick to put into service, easy
to use, and an investment that can pay for itself in a short time.
The machine frame is made up of a steel table incorporating expendable plates that support the stock to cut
and contain water mixed with a special uid called “Plateguard red”.
The water captures the dust generated during cutting.
The residual gas that is emitted remains below limit exposure values in certain conditions of use:
1. The machine must be installed in a workshop that is large enough, with air renewal,
2. Use must be limited to two hours of e󰀨ective cutting per day (average observed cutting time)
A touch screen and an intuitive user interface with a library of integrated shapes will allow you to start cutting
at once.
A software suite is supplied to work with your programs, which can be loaded from a USB drive.
The machine is easy to use and maintain, and is guaranteed for two years.
Thanks to FLEXCUT 125 CE or TOMAHAWK®1538 technology, the machine provides excellent compressed
air cutting air quality with carbon steel and stainless steel, and o󰀨ers very high protability, a long life, reduced
nishing operations, fewer burrs and better angular quality.
The main target applications are in the industries below:
• metal work,
• building hardware,

7User’s guide
Conditions of use:
• No object is to be placed on the rolling tracks.
• Do not climb on the cable drag chain.
• Before handling plates, make sure that the safety of personnel and property is protected.
• Before using the machine, make sure that all the guards are in place.
All guard covers must be screwed in. Only authorised personnel may access electrical
cabinets, which must have locking systems.
• No maintenance may be carried out on the machine when it is supplied with power.
• In the event of any extended absence, the operator must shut o󰀨 the supply of utilities
(electricity and uids).
• Before any work on the machine, make sure the power supply to the machine has been
switched o󰀨 (locking an emergency stop button is su󰀩cient).
Any movement of the machine will make it necessary to level the table once again.
Never modify the machine.
The machine is not designed for anchoring lifting equipment.
The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory.
Machine maintenance must be carried out with all the energy supplies switched o󰀨.
The disconnection and padlocking of all energy sources is mandatory.
The emergency stop and safety lines must be interlocked and tested in accordance with the
electrical diagram of the machine.
Handling of parts:
• The equipment for handling workpieces that have been or need to be cut is not part of the
supply and is to be provided by the customer. The customer must therefore take protective
measures appropriate for the equipment for handling the workpieces.
• IMPORTANT: While handling sheets to cut, take the necessary precautions to avoid im-
pacts on the machine and the rolling tracks.
• Impacts on any of the elements can lead to squareness faults or the malfunctioning of the
electrical shaft and therefore incorrect cutting of the workpieces.
An accidental manoeuvre could restart the movement unintentionally.
• An operator entering the area between the rolling tracks could be caught between the piec-
es and the machines.
• The machine must remain under the supervision of a trained operator when it is operating.
Laser safety:
• The pointer is a class 3R laser pointer. Use it with caution. Do not activate when the torch
impact safety system is dislodged.
• This product contains a laser diode. Make sure you follow all the safety precautions during
use.
• DO NOT LOOK INTO THE BEAM, whether direct or reected. The beam can injure the eyes
at a distance of up to 34 m.
• NEVER POINT THE LASER towards an aircraft or other vehicle; that is hazardous and illegal.
The laser may interfere with the eyesight of pilots, and can interfere with eyesight up to 730 m.
Lasers can be distracting up to 7.3 km.
• Class 3R lasers are safe when they are handled with care. • DO NOT LOOK INTO THE
BEAM. Avoid accidental exposure of the eyes.
• It is not a toy. Always keep children under supervision.
Before any work on the torch, it is absolutely necessary to switch o󰀨 the FLEXCUT 125 CE or
TOMAHAWK®1538 power source.

LINC-CUT®S 1020w-1530w 8
Fumes/gas:
The water table catches most solid particles and some of the gaseous emissions from harmful fumes.
However, their residual concentration, possibly in combination with quantities of substances already present
in the ambient air due to other sources of pollution, may exceed limit or peak workplace exposure values.
Under the regulations:
• The limit value for short-term exposure (15-minute duration) to NO2 (majority pollutant in NOx) must
remain below 6 mg/m³
• The limit value for occupational exposure (eight-hour duration) to NO2 (majority pollutant in NOx)
must remain below 1.2 mg/m³
Based on a guidance (see note 1) usage scenario with two hours of cutting over an eight-hour day (15
minutes of cutting/hour), below is an estimate of the fresh air ow rate required to stay within the limit
exposure values read with 25 mm thick steel plates. This is the least favourable case in relation to other
readings taken on 10 mm thick steel and 10 and 20 mm thick stainless steel. LINC-CUT®S 1020w-1530w
machines are not designed for cutting aluminium. Cutting aluminium on a water table is hazardous: risk of
explosion due to the discharge of hydrogen.

Note 1: The concentration stated indicates the average value in the area. In reality, it is higher close to the
table.
The quantity of residual fumes emitted depends closely on the quality of the cut metal, cutting parameter
settings and the water level height.
That is why Lincoln Electric® cannot commit to specic values regarding the fume concentration at the
workstation.
In order to take account of all the varied conditions of use, only individual in-situ exposure measurements
by an approved body can determine the concentrations created, in order to then dene any ventilation
requirements.

Connecting your machine to the earth
Use a 16² twisted cable to connect the earth rod on the table to the earthing connection provided by the
customer.
For proper operation of your CNC cutting tables, you need to connect a 16² cable from the earth connection
rod to the dedicated earth rod.
The machine must be connected to the earth appropriately to keep personnel safe and suppress high-
frequency noise. The foundation for satisfactory earthing is an e󰀨ective earth rod. A ground point is connected
to the rod with a short, heavy conductor. A simple copper clad steel rod may be driven into the ground
to create an earth rod. An earth rod must be installed. Bring in a qualied electrician to verify the earth
connection of your system.
The FLEXCUTTM 125 CE or
TOMAHAWK®1538 plasma
cutting unit is supplied with
an earth connection attached
to the earth connection
bar. Further, a work earth
connection is attached to
the earth star to connect to
the cut material. If the work
piece is painted or dirty, you
may need to expose the
metal underneath for a good
electrical connection.
Put the plasma cutting unit
in its appropriate location.
Reinstall the power and earth
cables of the table at the front
of the machine.
The earth rod is not supplied
