Sealey PP35 Instructions Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey plasma cutter. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions and properly maintained,
give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
1. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
The PP35 is an inverter power supply fitted with plasma cutter control circuitry. Features include an LED information panel covering torch under
voltage, air fault, general fault (thermostat, over/under voltage, over current) and power on. The plasma inverter is suitable for cutting steel,
stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass and includes an integrated air filter, regulator and pressure gauge.
When the torch trigger is depressed a pilot arc is initiated within the torch which then transfers to the workpiece. The combination of the
electrical arc and the fast flowing air generates a plasma (very hot gas) jet which cuts the workpiece.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
F  WARNING! Electrical installation of the plasma cutting unit must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Make sure that power
supply cable is correctly connected to earth. It is the owner’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
p
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs
and all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an
RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device
by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
2.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by
a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
2.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
2.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the
mains power supply. See 2.1.1. & 2.1.2. above and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
2.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
2.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear or damage
and check power connections, to ensure that none is loose.
2.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the product is the same as the power supply
to be used and that the supply is adequately protected. See Supply Fuse, Section 1.
2.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the cutter by the power supply lead or the output cables.
2.1.8. DO NOT pull plugs from sockets by the cable.
2.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified electrician.
2.1.10. DO NOT use this product with a cable extension reel.
2.1.11. This product will require MORE than a 13 amp electrical supply, so no plug is fitted. You must contact a qualified electrician
to ensure that a 30 amp supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
F WARNING! Reminder, the electrical installation of the plasma cutting unit must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
F WARNING! Be very cautious if using a generator to power the inverter. The generator must be self regulating and stable with
p
regard to voltage, waveform and frequency. The output must be greater than the power consumption of the inverter. If any
p
of these requirements is not met the electronics within the inverter may be affected.
NOTE:The use of an unregulated generator may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
F WARNING! The inverter may produce voltage surges in the mains supply which can damage other sensitive equipment (e.g. computers).
To avoid this happening it is recommended that the inverter is connected to a power supply that does not feed any sensitive equipment.
