IK-72T 1.2.6 Safety precautions for skin burns Observe the safety precautions to prevent skin burns. Ignoring heat, spatter, and sparks during operation could cause a fire or burned skin. Do not perform cutting near flammables. (Move flammables well away from the sparks.) Do not cut containers filled with flammables.
IK-72T 2 Location of safety labels Safety labels and other labels for correct operation are affixed to the machine. Carefully read the labels and follow the instructions on them when operating the machine. Never remove the labels. Keep them clean and legible at all times.
Outline of machine 3.1 Features of machine The IK-72T (three-dimensional cutter) is a portable automatic gas cutter designed and manufactured to ensure high-precision cutting of three-dimensional structures (especially three-dimensional curves) which are conventionally cut by mechanical cutters. Three kinds of rails – 1D, 2D, and 3D – increase the range of operation and greatly help to rationalize and reduce the cutting work.

IK-72T ■Rail connection method ・1D rail (straight AL rail) 1.Turn OFF the magnet on the connection rail. 2.Align the connecting direction as shown in the figure. 3.Insert the fixed rail. 4.After positioning, fix the rail with the magnet. ・2D rail (two-dimensional rubber rail) ・3D rail (three-dimensional rubber rail)
IK-72T 5 Cutting operation 5.1 Safety measures prior to operation 5.1.1 Grounding the machine The cable of this machine is equipped with a grounding wire. For safety, be sure to ground the wire as follows, in addition to checking the connection of the power cable.
IK-72T 5.3 Cutting and piercing method 1. Cut in from the end of steel plate. 2. Pierce steel plate before cutting. 3. Drill a hole before cutting. ■Piercing method 1) Ignite and adjust the flame. 2) Thoroughly preheat the cut-in point until it is white hot.
IK-72T 5.6 Cutting operation 1. Attach the rail to the cutting position, and align the tip with the cutting start point. 2. Bring a flame close to the tip for ignition and ensure sufficient preheating. 3. Simultaneously with opening the cutting oxygen valve, turn on the switch to start cutting.
IK-72T 6 Maintenance and inspection Refer to the following for inspection and maintenance of the machine and use the machine under the best operating conditions at all times. 6.1 Daily inspection 1. Clean the outside of the machine and sliding sections.
