1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND
OTHERS. The user must therefore be educated against the hazards, summarized
below, deriving from welding operations.
1.3 THERMAL LIMITS (EN 60974-1)
a) The use of a cutting equipment is normally not continuous, since there are actual
work periods (cutting time) and pause periods (positioning work pieces etc.).
This cutting unit has been manufactured to supply the maximum nominal current
I2 in complete safety for a working time of ED% of the total time. The standards in
force, state a work period of 10 minutes. The maximum duty cycle is the ED of the
data check. If you exceed the recommended work/pause periods, you will cause
overheating of the machine components that could put it out of order.
A thermal protection device is then activated, shown by the turning on of LED lo-
cated on the front Panel.
After a few minutes this device automatically turns on the machine, the LED goes
o and the machine is ready for use again.
b) These machine is built according to IP 21 CS protection standards.
ELECTRIC SHOCK – May be fatal.
Install and earth the welding machine according to the applicable regu-
lations. Do not touch live electrical parts or eletrodes with bare skin,
gloves or wet clothing. Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the
workpiece. Make sure your working position is safe.
FUME AND GASES – May be hazardous to your health.
Keep your head away from fumes.
Work in the presence of adequate ventilation, and use ventilators
around the arc to prevent gases from forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS – May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
Protect yuor eyes with welding masks tted with ltered lenses, and
protect your body with appropiate safety garments.
Protect others by installing adequate shields or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS
Sparks (sprays) may cause res and burn the skin; you should
therefore make sure there are no ammable materials in the area, and
wear appropriate protective garments.
NOISE
This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The
plasma cutting/welding procedure may produce noise levels beyond
said limit; users must therefore implement all precautions required by law.
PACEMAKERS
The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pace-
makers. Wearers of vital electronic equipment (pacemakers) should consult
their physician before beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or
spotwelding operations.
EXPLOSIONS
Do not cut in the vicinity of containers under pressure, or in the
presence of explosive dust, gases or fumes. All cylinders and pressu-
re regulators used in cutting operation should be handled with care.
PLASMA ARC can injure.
Keep your body away from nozzle and pla-
sma arc. Operate the pilot arc with caution.
The pilot arc is capable of burning the ope-
rator, others even piecing safety clothing.

4. Start-up and use
The machine must be installed by qualied personnel. All connections must be
made in compliance with current safety standards and full observance of
safety regulations.
4.1 Main supply connection
Connect the power cord A: the yellow-green cable wire must be connected to an
ecient grounding socket on the system. The remaining wires must be
connected to the power supply line by means of a switch placed as close as pos-
sible to the cutting area, to allow it to be shut o quickly in case of emergency.
The capacity of the cut-out switch or fuses installed in series with the switch must
be equal to the current I1 absorbed by the machine. The absorbed current I1 may
be determined by reading the technical specications shown on the machine
under the available supply voltage U1 . Any extension cords must be sized
appropriately for the absorbed current I1.

pos 12 Use Shield cup hand cod Z0140AA
NOTE: the spare parts are the same even if a straight automatic torch is used
- 8 -
8.1 Standard Stand O
This is the typical and most commun cutting type; you can adjust the current from a minimum
of 20A to a maximum of 70A. Once the cutting is terminated the arc strikes off and it can be
reactivated pressing the torch trigger once again. Use always the spacer (8) unless you have
particular precision needs as described in “GRATING” paragraph.
Electrode (3) and gas diffuser (4) remain always the same for all applications and currents:
pos (3) Electrode cod. Z0048AA
pos (4) Gas diuser cod. Z0049AA
pos (7) Outer nozzle cod. Z0055AA
Chose tip size (5) for contact cutting without the spager (8) the current set must be
lower than 40A. Pos (5) contact tip 0,9 cod: Z0050AA
Choose the tip size (6) according to the used current. Consider that the cutting width
is about twice as much the tip diameter:
currents until 50A Tip diam 1,0 mm cod. Z0051AA
currents from 50 up to 70A Tip diam 1,2mm cod. Z0053AA
8.2 Grating
In GRATING cut position, the minimum current stays at 20A and the maximum at 40A.
When the arc moves from the solid to the grating open area, the generator re-
turns automatically in pilot arc condition and the cutting arc starts again touch-
ing a new solid area. We recommand the stand o spacer to improuve the
spare parts life and the use of the tip (6)
Currents until 30A cod: Z0087AA (diam 0,8)
Currents until 40A cod: Z0051AA (diam 1,0)
Consider that the cutting width is about twice as much the tip diameter. This
position (grating) is suggested even for precision cuttings, on thin metal sheets
(thickness less than 6 mm): use a tip for contact cuttig and spare parts as
shown in position 5 of the picture.
Take off the spacer (8) and use the Tip position (5) cod. Z0050AA (diam 0,9)
8.3 Gouging
In GOUGING position you can remove material with a high eciency; the cur-
rent regulation from 20A up to 70A enables the increasing of the groove’s deep.
The torch spare parts remains the same for each current regulation:

solid area. We recommand the stand o spacer to improuve the spare parts life and the use of the tip (6)
11.2 Standard Solid Cutting
Contact Cutting:
in certain applications the contact cutting may be required even with current over 40A (ex.:high cutting speed on thin metal sheet or on high ticks where an high cutting precision is required).
In those application use spare parts described in the picture.
Use for current 40÷70A code
4 gas diuser Z0061AA
15 outer nozzle Z0096AA
16 shield cup Z0140AA
12 Contact tip Ø 1,0 | for current 40÷55A Z0093AA
12 Contact tip Ø 1,2 | for current 55÷70A Z0094AA
Use for current 70÷100A code
5 gas diuser Z0062AA
15 outer nozzle Z0096AA
17 shield cup Z0097AA
13 contact tip Ø 1,5 | for current 100A Z0095AA
Use code
4 gas diuser Z0061AA
6 contact tip Ø 0,9 Z0063AA
9 outer nozzle Z0070AA
11 doubler pointer spacer Z0072AA
Consider that the cutting width is about twice as much the tip diameter.
This position (grating) is suggested even for precision cuttings, on thin metal sheets
(thickness less than 6 mm): take o the spacer 11 and use contact cutting.

12. Use of the equipement:
A) Connect the earth clamp cable to the work piece
B) Connect the machine to the power supply net and turn ON the power
switch (8). The green led ON/OFF light on
The yellow led lights up if the torch safety circuit is open
The red led lights up in case of low pressure, wrong voltage supply, or
thermic alarm
C) With the selector (3), choose the cutting mode
D) Check the air pressure on the manometer and adjust eventually by using
the pressure reducer knob ( 5) at 5,5-6 bars. Make sure the pressure stays
at the same level during cutting
E) Set the current value with the knob ( 1 ) according to the basic material tickness
F) Press the torch trigger: the pilot arc stricks, becoming cutting arc as
soon as you will place the torch on the work
piece. P-TRONIC 100 generator does not work
with high-frequency arc ignition: it uses the no
HF technology with BACK STRIKING system. The
torch can work only if the generator is connected
to the compressed air plant.
G) The pilot arc stops automatically after about 5 seconds if you do not place
the torch on the work piece
H) Once the cutting process is terminated release the torch trigger: the air
ow will continue to allow the cooling down of the torch
Warning: never aim the plasma jet towards people or foreign objects !
11.4 Gouging
In GOUGING position you can remove material with a high eciency; the
current regulation from 20A up to 100A enables the increasing of the groove’s
deep.
Use the following spares on the torch:
Use code
4 gas diuser Z0061AA
14 tip gouging Z0092AA
15 outer nozzle Z0096AA
18 gouging shield cup Z0090AA
