suitable paint.
zEMC Device Classification
According to standard
IEC 60974-10, it has to do
Safety instructions

13
GB
with a plasma cutter with class A
electromagnetic compatibility.
Thus, it meets the appropriate
requirements in the industrial and
residential area. In residential
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 electromagnetic
disturbances in sensitive systems
and devices.
The operator is responsible for
malfunctions that occur through
the arc while welding 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
welding work is performed.
The following is recommended
to reduce possible interference
radiation:
The plasma cutter must be
regularly maintained and kept
in a good condition
Welding cables should be
completely unwound and
installed parallel on the floor,
if possible
Devices and systems at risk
of interference radiation must
be removed from the welding
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 negatively charged electrode
that is directly above the nozzle.
The vortex ring controls the speed
at which the plasma can rotate.
If you supply the negative
electrode with current and make
the tip of the nozzle touch the
metal, this connection creates
a closed, electrical circuit.
Safety instructions / General plasma explanations

14
GB
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
16,649 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 current is supplied to
the electrode and the plasma
remains in contact with the metal
to be processed.
The cutting nozzle has two types
of 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!
fThis machine is only designed to use
compressed air as ‘gas’.
• Before use
• 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 as 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.
• Connecting compressed air
PLEASE NOTE!
fThis device is designed for operating
pressure of up to 6.3 bar. Please bear
in mind that the pressure can lower
while setting the air pressure.
Thus, in a hose length measuring
10 m and an internal diameter of 9 mm
it drops by approx. 0.6 bar.
The compressed air must be filtered,
lubricated and regulated.
Connect the compressed air hose 16 on
the back of the plasma cutter 1to the
compressed air connection 20. To do so,
insert the side of the compressed air hose
16 into the compressed air connection 20
of the plasma cutter 1without a quick
connector.
The pressure can be set via the knob
21
on the condensate separator. (see Fig. J-L
)
In order to release the compressed air
General plasma explanations / Before use

15
GB
hose 16, you must press the locking
mechanism of the compressed air
connection 20 and pull out the
compressed air hose 16.
• Connecting the cutting torch
Insert the plasma burner -plug 7into
the plasma burner – connection socket
12 and tighten the union nut hand-tight.
Insert the plasma burner – powerplug
6into the plasma burner – power
socket 10 and tighten the union nut
hand-tight.
• Connecting the ground cable
Connect the ground terminal plug 5with
the ground terminal connection socket 11.
Make sure that the connecting shaft is first
connected and then turned. This does not
require force!
• Using the device
• Operation
1. Set the plasma cutter 1up in a dry and
well ventilated area.
2. Position the machine in the vicinity of the
workpiece.
3. Press the on / off switch 17.
4. Clamp the ground terminal 4to the
workpiece to be cut and make sure that
there is a good electrical contact.
5. Set the cutting current on the current
controller 13.
6. Position the plasma cutter 8on the
workpiece so that the nozzle 8c is free
and that a blowback of the molten metal
is not possible. Press the plasma burner
button 8a. The transmitted cutting arch
is ignited on the edge of the sheet in this
manner.
7. Start cutting slowly and then increase the
speed in order to achieve the desired
cutting quality.
8. The speed must be regulated so that
a good cutting capacity can be
achieved. The plasma air creates
a straight arch (stainless steel, aluminium)
or a 5° arch of approach (soft steel).
9. While cutting make sure the nozzle is
always in contact with the workpiece.
To cut in the manual cutting mode,
pull the overlying burner across
the workpiece while maintaining
a constant speed. 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. If the plasma burner
button 8a is released, the plasma jet goes
out and the power 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 the plasma
burner button pressed 8a. During the gas
post-flow time, the plasma cutter 1must
not be switched off to avoid damaging the
plasma burner 8as a result of overheating.
ATTENTION!
fThe device must be left on for approx.
2-3 minutes once the cutting work has
been completed. The cooler cools the
electronics.
Before use / Using the device

16
GB
• Plasma cutting types
Drag cutting
Hold the tip of the pistol low over the
workpiece and press the pistol switch.
Now move the pistol tip until there is contact
with the workpiece and the cutting arch
is fixed in position. Once the cutting arch
has been generated, move the pistol in the
desired direction. Makes sure that the pistol
tip is slightly angled and that contact with
the workpiece is maintained. This working
method is called drag cutting. Avoid quick
movements. Sparks falling off the top of the
workpiece is an indication of moving too
quickly. Move the pistol at a speed in which
the spark accumulation is concentrated on
the bottom side of the workpiece. Ensure
the material is completely separated prior to
continuing with this process. Set the neces-
sary drag speed.
Distance cutting
In some cases, it is beneficial to cut while
holding the tip of the pistol at a height
of 1.5 mm to 3 mm above the workpiece.
This reduces the quantity of material that
is blown back into the tip. This makes it
possible to penetrate thicker material
strengths. Distance cutting should be used
if penetration or furrow work is carried out.
Furthermore, the ‘distance’ working tech-
nique can be used when you need to cut
sheet metal to minimise the risk of material
splashing back which could damage the tip.
Perforation
To drill through, place the tip approx.
3.2 mm above the workpiece. Hold the
pistol at a slight angle to guide the sparks
away from the pistol tip and your body.
Press the plasma burner button 8a and lower
the tip of the pistol until there is a main
cutting arch and sparks begin to form. Test
the perforation on a test object that is no
longer needed and once there are no
problems start drilling through at the
previously defined cutting line on your
workpiece. Check the pistol for wear and
tear, cracks or exposed cable pieces.
Replace or repair them prior to using the
device. A badly worn pistol tip/nozzle
contributes to the reduction of speed, voltage
and unclean separation. An indication of a
badly worn pistol tip/nozzle is an extended
or oversized nozzle opening. The external
electrode must not be recessed by more
than 3.2 mm. Replace it if the wear is
greater than the specified dimensions.
If the protective cap is difficult to tighten,
check the thread.

expanded in comparison to a drilling of
a new nozzle. If the electrode 8d or the
nozzle 8c are replaced too late, this can
result in an overheating of the parts. This
can reduce the lift cycle of the diffuser

.
Once replaced, make sure the nozzle
clamping sleeve 8b is tightened
sufficiently.
ATTENTION!
fThe nozzle clamp sleeve 8b must only
be screwed on to the burner 8once
it has been equipped with the electrode
8d, diffuser 8e and nozzle 8c .
fIf these parts are missing,
the device may malfunction
and it may create a hazard
for the operating personnel.
