  • Page 5: Some General Information About Plasma Cutting

    Plasma 70 S 1. Some general information about plasma cutting 1.1 Operating principle In a plasma torch, the air is heated to an extremely high temperature through an electric arc, thus forming an electroconductive plasma which allows the cutting current to flow from the electrode to the workpiece.
  • Page 6: Safety Requirements

    Plasma 70 S 2. Safety Requirements This cutting unit has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant international standards. However, improper use or manipulation of the machine may cause hazards. a) The unit is exclusively intended for plasma cutting processes. Service personnel must be duly informed of all safety rules.
  • Page 7 Plasma 70 S 2.4 Electrical hazard Plasma cutting is carried out under high-tension conditions which require utmost precau- tion. Any defective or damaged parts on the torch must be replaced immediately. When ex- changing a part, always disconnect the unit (master switch in pos. 0). Only original spare parts may be used on the torch.
