B - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HANDLING
• For installation or maintenance operations, the operator must use the lifting eyes provided for
that purpose and shown on the drawing.
AIRBORNE NOISE:
Refer to the special instructions 8695 7050 supplied with the equipment.
For general safety instructions, please refer to the specic manual supplied with the
equipment.
1 - Particular safety instructions
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.
• For any extended absence, the operator must shut o󰀨 the supply of utilities (electricity and
uids).
• Before anyone starts working between the rolling tracks, make sure that the power supply to
the machine has been switched o󰀨 (locking an emergency stop button is su󰀩cient).
• Switch the power source o󰀨 while changing the wearing parts of the torch if the plasma
process is being used.
• The lighting on the control panel must keep the user safe (500 lux on the control panel, 200
lux on the table).
“No climbing on the structure of the machine other than on platforms or gangways
designed for that purpose.
To access equipment at heights, the user must use accessing means in accordance with
the regulations, such as a safe mobile gangway, an aerial lift etc.”.
Clean the working area from time to time.
STABILITY
• The machine must be anchored to the oor.
In spite of all the measures applied, invisible residual risks may still remain.
Residual risks can be reduced if the safety instructions are observed, the machine is used
as recommended and general service instructions are followed

3User’s guide
This machine may only be moved by its designer, namely Lincoln Electric.
The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and work clothing covering the body is
mandatory.
The emergency stop and safety lines must be interlocked and tested in accordance with the
electricity diagram of the machine.
IMPORTANT: “Do not remove the Nylstop nuts from the fastening screws of the guards:
they keep them captive"
Machine maintenance must be carried out with all the energy supplies switched o󰀨.
The disconnection and padlocking of all energy sources is mandatory.
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.
• CAUTION: While handling sheets to cut, take the necessary precautions to avoid impacts 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.
• For safety reasons, the operator may not climb on the cutting tables to handle the
workpieces.
• An accidental manoeuvre could restart the movement unintentionally.
• The machine must remain under the supervision of a trained operator when it is operating.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION, REMEMBER TO:
• Switch o󰀨 and lock out the electricity supply.
• Switch o󰀨, ush and lock out the gas and compressed air supplies.
Mind the risk of electric shocks: There is an outside power supply in the electrical cabinet
that is not switched o󰀨 with the main disconnector.
That outside power supply is identiable by orange wires and terminals.
If single-beam cells are being used, do not reset the cells if anybody is located between
the cells and the beam.

The operator station is located before the control console.
The machine you have purchased can be hazardous if you do not take certain precautions for use.
Make sure that no part of the machine can come within less than 500 mm from an obstacle.
Important: the operator passage way must absolutely be clear over a minimum width of 800 mm according to
safety standards.
The oor should be marked out as shown in the enclosed drawing.
While accessing the marked area, a worker could be hit by the machine or the cable drag chain.

2 - General
This is a numerically controlled single-piece plasma cutting machine that is particularly suited to industries
that use steel, stainless steel and aluminium for plates measuring:
• 1500*3000 => Optitome II 1530
• 2000*4000 => Optitome II 2040
• 2000*1000 => Optitome II 2010
• 2000*6000 => Optitome II 2060
The main intended applications are those of iron workers, metal workers, air processing, air-conditioning,
ventilation, refractory industries, workshops producing in small and medium runs or support production.
It is managed by a CNC control of the HPC 3 Digital Process Hpi type.
This machine uses:
• all dry plasma cutting processes
• optional ame cutting to allow the occasional cutting of black steels, maximum thickness 50mm
• optional WEN marking or FELT marking
The control console supports the operating approach.
The integration of an extraction table (included in the basic o󰀨er) that can be connected to any extraction and/
or ltration system and tted with slag collector boxes makes its conditions of use maximally safe and healthy.
The plate frame is removable, giving easy access for cleaning the boxes, or for replacing it to make it easier
to load and unload cut pieces
The frame is 800mm high and has been designed to allow access so that the distance between the edge of
the rails and the side ends of the table is as short as possible.
Single-beam cells:
Single-beam cells are installed with Optitome 2040 and Optitome 2060.
The movements and process are stopped when the cells are crossed.

4 - Cutting table
This is a single-piece machine made up of a mechanically welded cutting table, with, on each side, a guide
rail with ball slides and a rack to guide and move the beam.
Two guide rails with ball slides and a rack are xed to the beam, to guide and move the tool carriage.
The high feed speed is 15m/min.
A console cabinet to be fastened to the oor contains all the electrical and electronic equipment that is
required for control and operator dialogue
This is a mechanically welded box that is xed to the oor between the machine frame, and which has a Ø
350 outlet for connection to an extraction system. For this table, we recommend the use of extraction with
ltration that is suited to machine performance.
A removable support frame for the piece to cut, made of sheet metal for plasma cutting, is placed on the box.
The high feed speed is 15m/min.
The bottom contains slag collector boxes that are easily removable for cleaning.

5 - Transverse carriage
This carriage has three ball slides P1 for optimum guidance.
The powered carriage has the following functions:
• Support for transverse power system
• Support for one or more tools with option.

7 - Console
The control console of the Optitome provides the operator with the HPC3 Digital Process HPi CNC control,
with all the controls required for starting up the machine and operating the cutting cycle.
The most used controls are located outside, in buttons on the front to make the machine and process easier
to control.
8 - Limit of supply
The customer must supply and install a device for isolating each source of energy (electricity, air,
gas and water). The devices must be clearly identied. They must be of the locking type.
The products AS-CM-OPT2D1530FL1 and AS-CM-OPT2D1530FL3 are delivered with:
• 1 400V 16A male connector for supplying power to the machine.
• 1 400V 125A male connector for supplying power to the power source.
To be paired with a female connector of the same type, o󰀨ering adequate protection (data on the power
supply drawing).
The 125A connector has a pilot wire for switching o󰀨 the upstream supply if the connector is disconnected.
That pilot wire must be wired to a contactor that controls the power supply to this connector.
