6/17 contact, is the open-circuit voltage between the clamps. In our generator this voltage is 260V. The maximum open-circuit voltage of the plasma machines is established by national and international standards (EN 60974-1) depending on the type of current to be used, on its waveform and on the hazards arising from the work place.
7/17 RISK OVERVIEW 1. Risk of electric shock 2. Ultraviolet light and light radiation 3. Risk of inhaling gas fumes and dust particles 4. Burns 5. Noise NOTE 1. It is forbidden to operate a machine with damaged insulation of the cutting torch or supply cable.

8. No additional oiling if the pressure air is permitted. That could damage the plasma machine and the cutting torch. OPTIONAL AIR FILTERS FOR HOMER PLASMACUT 39 To achieve high quality cutting and to avoid serious disturbances to the torch it is highly advised to include the air filter.
13/17 8. CUTTING 1. Move the torch to the material and press the torch trigger. The arc will ignite. 2. Start with cutting. After end of cutting release the torch trigger, the arc turns off and for 30 seconds the air will flow to cool down the torch. 3.

7. In case of low air pressure or disconnected air input never press the torch trigger. It can cause the torch damage. 8. HOMER Plasmacut 39 is adapted for use with torch SCB 50. This combination comply with EN 60974-7 Article 10.1.4. Using any other type and design of a torch must be approved by ALFA IN a.s.
If the cable bundle of the torch is worn out it must be replaced immediately - danger of electrical shock. 2. Disconnect the HOMER from the mains supply voltage before disassembling. 3. Special maintenance is not necessary for the control unit parts in the plasma cut machine.
16/17 skills enabling that person to safely carry out a risk assessment and repairs to the electrical equipment in question. 8. The person carrying out the servicing needs and repairs must know what to look at, what to look for and what to do. STATEMENT OF WARRANTY 1.
17/17 DISPOSAL Only for EU countries. Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material. In accordance with European Council Directive 2002/96/EC on electrical electronic equipment waste implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their service life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
