Plasma CUTTER 150 General information’s: These operating instructions are intended to ensure safe and efficient work with this cutting unit. Prior to initial operation of the unit, read the instructions carefully. The information contained in this manual should be made available to all operational staff.
Plasma CUTTER 150 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY within the meaning of EC recommendation EMC 89/336/EEC, appendix I respectively of EC recommendation 73/23/EEC, appendix III B Manufacturer: Jäckle Schweiß- und Schneidtechnik GmbH Riedweg 4 D – 88339 Bad Waldsee Germany We declare, that below mentioned current source corresponds to the safety requirements of the recommendations.
Plasma CUTTER 150 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.
Plasma CUTTER 150 2. Safety Requirements 2.1 General Information’s This welding unit has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant interna- tional standards. However, improper use or manipulation of the machine may cause hazards. The following safety instructions must be strictly observed: a) This unit is exclusively intended for the Plasma cutting process.

Plasma CUTTER 150 EMC and safety inspection Apart from the instructions given in this operating manual, the general safety standards, in particular the rules for prevention of accidents must be observed. The rules contain additional information’s about the prevention of radiation, smoke, combustion, electric shock, fire and explosion.
Plasma CUTTER 150 3. Brief description The Plasma CUTTER 150 has been developed in robust technology. It excells in multipurpose application both for manual cutting operations and in combina- tion with automatic or robot-operated cutting processes. Its operating principle is characterized by the following:...
63 A slow Cutting current 75A /150A Max. open-circuit voltage 335 V 70 % duty cycle 150 A / 140 V 100 % duty cycle 75 A / 110 V Max. cutting thickness, quality cut 35 mm severance cut 45 mm...
Plasma CUTTER 150 5. Control Elements PLASMA CUTTER 150 150A Picture 5.1 Control Elements Master switch Position "O": unit is switched off. Position "I": unit is switched on Control lamp ‘mains’ is lit when unit is switched on. Fuse for Control transformer, 2 A slow Weld grade switch sets the cutting current to 75A or 150A.
Plasma CUTTER 150 Filter pressure reducer The working pressure is set on the pressure reducer which is equipped with an integrated coarse filter If, despite the availability of adequate supply pressure, the specified working pressure cannot be reached, heavily clogged filters may be the cause.
Plasma CUTTER 150 Separate connection (inside the unit): Open the flap in the right side. Insert the torch connections trough the opening in the front panel into the connection box and fasten the hose at the threaded nipples G 1/4 and G1/8. Plug the control cable with blade terminals into the mounted flat blade socket as you like.
Plasma CUTTER 150 8. Cutting 8.1 Pilot arc ignition Bring the nozzle of the cutting torch to the starting point of the cut to be executed. Press torch trigger. After a short preweld gas flow time the pilot arc is ignited, and at the instant of the pilot arc impacting the workpiece, the cutting arc is formed.
Plasma CUTTER 150 9. Maintenance and safety check This unit should be serviced in regular intervals dependent on Operating times and working place conditions. Before opening the machine switch off the plug! Check filter pressure reducer unit. Change cartridge, if required.
