In some case, it is beneficial cut while
holding the burner sleeve
1.5 mm to 3 mm above the workpiece. This
reduces the quantity of material that is blown
back into the tip. This makes it possible to
penetrate thicker material strengths. Distance
cutting should be used if penetration or
furrow work is carried out. Furthermore, the
"distance" working technique can be used
when you need to cut sheet metal to
minimise the risk of material splashing back
which could damage the tip.
Perforation
To drill through place the tip approx.
3.2 mm above the workpiece. Hold the
plasma burner at a slight

and your body. Press the plasma burner

PLEASE NOTE!
fWhen the burner trigger is pressed,
then the voltage required for cutting will
be enerated inside the plasma cutter.
But if the power supply is not connect-
ed, then the voltage generated will be
discharged via the integrated spark gap.
The electrical discharge generated with-
in the device by this does not constitute
a malfunction.

a test object that is no longer needed and
once there are no problems start drilling
through at the previously defined cutting line

for wear and tear, cracks or exposed
cable pieces. Replace or repair them prior to
using the device. A badly worn burner

sleeve contributes to the reduction of
speed, voltage and unclean separation. An
indication of a badly worn burner sleeve
is an extended or oversized nozzle opening.
