Description: This machine is used to cut ferrous or nonferrous metals. Disclaimer: The information, illustrations and instructions described in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication. The manufacturer and distributors reserve the right to modify the contents of the brochure at any time which modifications may result following product modifications and the manufacturer and distributors are not obliged to notify any organization or individual of such modifications.
Safety precautions The equipment is designed for use by qualified personnel who have completed professional training and have obtained a qualification certificate as a welder/cutter. The operator shall have sufficient professional knowledge of welding, cutting and circuitry. The machine should be operated only after having read and fully understood all the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual and those generally applicable to welding operations.
Warnings Welding and cutting is a special type of work, with a certain degree of danger. Professional training, correct operation and necessary protective measures can effectively avoid and reduce the damage and loss caused by machine accidents. Personal Safety Protection Welding and cutting operations generate noise, bright light and high-temperature sparks which will cause harm to human hearing, eyes and skin unless personal protective measures are...

Care should be taken to avoid fire hazards from cracked floors and walls. Welding and cutting on sealed gas tanks will cause explosions. These operations are prohibited. Welding and cutting areas must be provided with adequate fire extinguishing equipment. Regular testing for efficiency of this equipment is compulsory as is training of staff in the use of the equipment.

However, it would be wise to limit exposure to EMF as far as possible and the following procedures are suggested: Welders and cutters with cardiac pacemaker implants should obtain medical advice on the effects of EMF on the implant. Users should minimise the possibility of electromagnetic field damage through the following methods Route the electrode and ground cables together and, where possible, secure them with tape.
A pressure regulator should be installed on the gas cylinder in use in accordance with the manufacturer's operating instructions. Quick-coupling connectors must not be used and gas hose fitting should be tested for leaks. Gas cylinders must always be kept upright and chained or belted to a cylinder trolley, base, wall, post or shelf.

The machine can be used for cutting various metals including stainless steel, aluminium, copper, cast iron and carbon steel. A narrow and clean-cut seam is produced with less effort and low deformation. The machines are suitable for use in the manufacturing industry, installation and maintenance, plate cutting, cutting holes, patching, beveling, pipe cutting and various other metal cutting applications.

2. Appearance Diagram: Panel: Control panel Cutting torch control socket: Connects the control line of the cutting torch switch. Air and electric hybrid socket: Connects to the air and electric plug to the cutting torch. Pilot arc terminal block: Connects to the pilot arc line of the cutting torch. Cutting cable coupling device (positive pole): Connects to the workpiece via the earth clamp.
Gas check & cut selection button: When the 'AIR’ mode is selected, air is ejected from the torch head and it is determined automatically whether the air volume is sufficient to ensure a smooth cutting process. When restarting the machine, it is advisable to remove overnight condensation from the torch by blowing for approximately 30 seconds through the cutter handle in the 'TEST' position.
1.4. The in-time protection circuit provides signals to the PWM warning for overheat and over-current situations; 1.5. A closed-loop control system ensures a good anti-grid fluctuation ability and an excellent cutting performance. Installation and wiring 1. Location Requirements 1.1. The machine should not be installed in an area where it is exposed to direct sunlight or rain but where the humidity is as low as possible and the ambient temperature is within the range of -10°C - 40°C.
