Connecting Compressed Air; Connecting The Cutting Burner; Connecting The Earthing Cable; Using The Device - Parkside PPS 40 B3 Operation And Safety Notes

The device must be free-standing with a
„
gap of at least 0.5 m all around.
Ventilation slots must not be blocked or
„
covered.
The device must not be used as a storage
„
place and tools or other items must not
be placed on the device.
It must be operated in a dry and
„
well-ventilated working environment.

• Connecting compressed air

NOTE!
fThis device is designed for operating
pressure (output pressure at the com-
pressor) of up to 6.3 bar. Please bear in
mind that the pressure can lower while
setting the air pressure. Thus, in a hose
length measuring 10 m and an internal
diameter of 9 mm it drops by approx.
0.6 bar.
The compressed air source must have a filter
and regulator.
Connect the compressed air hose

The pressure can be set via the knob
„
on the condensate separator (see
Fig. I–L). Select a pressure of 4–4.5 bar.
In order to release the compressed air
„
hose 16 , you must press the locking
mechanism of the compressed air
connection 20 and pull out the com-
pressed air hose
(see Fig. I).

• Connecting the earthing
cable
Connect the earthing clamp device plug
with the earthing clamp connecting socket
. Then connect the earthing clamp plug
11
with the earthing clamp connecting plug
Make sure that the connecting shaft is first
connected and then turned. The connecting
shaft of the earthing clamp device plug
on must point upwards when plugging in.

After plugging in, the connecting shaft must
be rotated in a clockwise direction until it
reaches the stop, in order to lock it in place
(see Fig. A+B). This does not require force!
