Page 4: Safety Info
Safety Info SAFETY INFO AND TIPS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH • Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health qualified technician and the manufacturer of the health equipment to determine whether a hazard exists. - Page 5 FIRE AND EXPLOSION • Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc. • Be sure there is no combustible or flammable materials in the workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected. •...

Single-phase 110V/220V line frequency (50/60 Hz) AC is rectified into DC, then it is converted to medium frequency AC by inverter device (discrete IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectified by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diode), and is outputted by inductance filtering.

Page 10: Electrical Connection
Pilot Arc System The TOPGUN CUT series of Air Plasma Cutting machines use a pilot arc system to establish the main cutting arc. A pilot arc system is a circuit where the return is back through the torch head and cable. This means it can create a small arc with low cutting power without making any electrical connection with the main machine earth. -
Page 11: Cutting Operation
Basic Operation Connect the earth cable quick connector to the earth connection socket (2) Connect the earth clamp to the work piece. Contact with the workpiece must be firm and contact with clean, bare metal, with no corrosion, paint or scale at the contact point. Connect the plasma torch to the machine central connector (1) ensuring the collar is done up firmly by hand. - Page 12 PLASMA CUTTING GUIDE Cutting Guide Effect of Cutting Speed Piercing Technique NOTE: Keep moving while cutting. Cut at a steady speed without pausing. Maintain a constant cutting speed so that the arc lag is 10° to 20°behind the travel direction. Use a 5°- 15° leading angle in the direction of the cut. OPERATING TECHNIQUES 1.
- Page 13 Note: The speeds given here are typical for best quality cuts. Your actual speeds may vary depending on material composition, surface condition, operator technique, etc. If the cutting speed is too fast, you may lose the cut. With slower speeds excessive dross may accumulate. If speed is too slow, the arc may extinguish.

Maintenance AND TROUBLESHOOTING CUTTING GUN MAINTENANCE Warning : 1. Check the consumable parts for damage, if worn, replace them (use only genuine TOPGUN parts). 2. Turn off the power source before checking or removing torch parts. Note: When operating the torch under normal conditions, a small amount of gas vents through the gap between the shield cup and the torch handle, Do not attempt to over tighten the shield cup as irreparable damage to internal components may result. -
