Page 4: Safety - Cautions
SAFETY BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR CARRYING OUT IMPORTANT: MAINTENANCE ON THE PLASMA CUTTER, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY RULES. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR PLASMA CUTTING. - Page 5 Fire hazard. Plasma cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, ex- plosion, overheating, or fire.
- Page 6 CAUTION 1. Working Environment. 1.1 The environment in which this Plasma Cutter equipment is installed must be free of grinding dust, corrosive chemicals, flammable gas or materials etc, and at no more than maximum of 80% humidity. 1.2 When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light, rain water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -10°C to +40°C.

Page 7: Air Plasma Cutting Technology
AIR PLASMA CUTTING TECHNOLOGY Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing through a constricted opening. The gas can be air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen. etc. The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter. -

Page 10: Set Up And Operating Procedure
PLASMA CUT30 Set Up Procedure for PLASMA Cutting (1) Connect the earth clamp to the work piece. (2) Connect the air supply to the air connection located at the rear of the machine. (3) Set the Air Pressure at 5-6 Bar using the pressure adjusting knob. (4) Connect the machine to the correct power supply and switch on the machine using the on/off switch located at the rear of the machine. - Page 11 Operating Procedure for PLASMA Cutting PLASMA CUT30 Operating procedure using the Stand Off Guide mounted to SC40 torch. The feet of the standoff guide are placed on the cutting surface. This maintains an optimal 2mm standoff distance between the plasma cutting tip and the work, this is especially suitable if your hands are unsteady, or if you wish to use a straight edge guide or pattern guide.

Page 12: Plasma Cutting Procedure & Techniques
Operating Procedure & Techniques for PLASMA Cutting PLASMA CUT30 ● Amperage Standard rule of thumb is the thicker the material the more amperage required. On thick material, set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed. On thinner material, you need to turn down the amperage and change to a lower-amperage tip to maintain a narrow kerf. - Page 13 Operating Procedure & Techniques for PLASMA Cutting PLASMA CUT30 ● Air pressure and volume Air pressure, flow rate and air quality are critical to quality plasma cutting and consumable life span. The required air pressure and volume can vary from model to model and the manufacturer will provide the specs. The volume capacity of your compressor is important, if you have a small compressor with exactly the same l/min rating as the plasma, then the compressor will run continuously when you are plasma cutting, a compressor with a l/min rating slightly higher than the plasma would be more adequate.
