1.3 Size and weight Table 1-2: Overall size and weight of the machine Model CUT 55DS Overall size (L*W*H) 407X160X280 mm Weight Figure 1-2: Appearance and size of the machine (Unit: mm)
1.5 Functions and characteristics of the cutting machine This is a digital plasma cutting machine with perfect function, high performance and advanced technology. CUT 55SD is an ultra-portable plasma cutting system suitable for a variety of application requirements. It can be used in handheld cutting and robot cutting as well. CUT 55DS can cut conductive metal, such as low carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
1.6 System characteristics 1) Duty cycle Rated duty cycle refers to the percentage of the normal work time of the machine under rated maximum current holding in the period when taking 10 minutes as a period. The rated duty cycle of this machine is 35%.Using the cutting machine continuously overrunning the rated load may lead to overheating of the machine, and frequently using the machine overrunning the rated load may accelerate the aging of the machine or even burn the machine.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION 2.1 Installation requirements 1) Connection of input cable In order to ensure personal safety and avoid electric shock, please send the product power plug the grounding ang wiring box grounding device,reliable giounding protection. A primary power supply cable is available for this cutting machine. Connect the power supply cable to the rated input power.
3) Operation of the reducer valve Figure 2-1: Embedded filter reducer The embedded filter reducer is properly set when leaving factory, and users do not need to set it themselves in general. If users need to set the embedded filter reducer, the machine cover should be opened as shown in the above figure.

Overcurrent/overvoltage/overheating protection circuit is installed in this machine. When the mains voltage, output current or inner temperature exceeds the set standard, the machine will stop automatically. However, excessive use (e.g. too high voltage) of machine may also damage the machine, so please note: This cutting machine can create powerful cutting current and has strict cooling requirements that cannot be met with natural ventilation.

3.2 Digital Panel of CUT 55 SD Symbol Function Power indicator: It illuminates when the machine is powered on, and it glitters after arc is successfully ignited. Overheating indicator: It illuminates when the working temperature of the IGBT is overly high. Meanwhile, the machine stops working. Torch protection indicator: It illuminates when the consumable parts of the machine are not well installed or the torch head is shorted.
3.3 Operation method 1) Turn on the power switch of the machine, and the power indicator illuminates. 2) Select proper working mode and proper function. There are two working modes available on the machine panel: 2T and 4T. There are two functions available: normal cutting and metal mesh cutting.
The workpiece is not cut fully. This may be caused by: The cutting current is too low. The cutting speed is too high. The electrode and nozzle of the torch are burned. The workpiece is too thick. Molten slag drops from the bottom of workpiece. This may be caused by: The cutting speed is too low.
MAINTENANCE 4.1 Daily maintenance WARNING The power of the switching box and the cutting machine should be shut down before daily checking (except appearance checking without contacting the conductive body) to avoid personal injury accidents such as electric shock and burns. 1) Daily checking is very important in keeping the high performance and safe operation of this cutting machine.
4.2 Periodic check WARNING Periodic check should be carried out by qualified professionals to ensure safety. Thepower of the switching box and the cutting machine should be shut down before periodic check to avoid personal injury accidents such as electric shock and burns.
TROUBLESHOOTING The abnormity indicator on the front panel would illuminate in case of any failures inside the cutting machine. Malfunction Phenomena Cause and Solution Turn on the machine, the power indicator illuminates, the control PCB keys do The cutting machine crashes: Shut down the machine, and not function, and there is restart it.
