SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cu琀ng machines unless otherwise noted. The user is responsible for installing and opera琀椀ng the equipment in accordance with the enclosed instruc琀椀ons. It is important that users of this equipment protect themselves and others from harm, or even death. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Use of Personal Protec琀椀ve Equipment (PPE) Welding arc rays from all welding and cu琀ng processes can produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Wear an approved welding helmet 昀椀琀琀ed with an appropriate shade of •...
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Safety against fumes and welding gases The HSE have iden琀椀昀椀ed welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupa琀椀onal diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main iden琀椀昀椀ed health e昀昀ects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstruc琀椀ve pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung func琀椀on changes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION The working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable posi琀椀on allowing for cooling air circula琀椀on. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down opera琀椀ng parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow. Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Fire awareness The cu琀ng and welding process can cause serious risks of 昀椀re or explosion. Cu琀ng or welding sealed containers, tanks, drums or pipes can cause explosions. Sparks from the welding or cu琀ng process can cause 昀椀res and burns. Check and risk assess the area is safe before doing any cu琀ng or welding.

OPERATION Before star琀椀ng any welding ac琀椀vity ensure that you have suitable eye protec琀椀on and protec琀椀ve clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any personnel within the welding area. Opera琀椀on con琀椀nued Normal cu琀ng mode Normal cu琀ng - this mode is the most commonly used for edge start or pierce cu琀ng. When edge cu琀ng, hold the torch perpendicular to the edge of the material being cut with the cu琀ng 琀椀p near (but not touching) the edge of the workpiece at the point where the cut is to start.
OPERATION - MODES OF CUTTING Before star琀椀ng any welding ac琀椀vity ensure that you have suitable eye protec琀椀on and protec琀椀ve clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any personnel within the welding area. Modes of cu琀ng The following pages show various ways by using di昀昀erent consumable con昀椀gura琀椀ons that allows the operator to cut material with the plasma torch.

TROUBLESHOOTING The following opera琀椀on requires su昀케cient professional knowledge on electric aspects and comprehensive safety knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the machine is disconnected from the electricity supply and wait for 5 minutes before removing the machine covers. Before any welding and cu琀ng machines are dispatched from the factory, they have already been checked thoroughly.
TROUBLESHOOTING - PLASMA CUTTING PROBLEMS The proper installa琀椀on, applica琀椀on and opera琀椀on of plasma arc cu琀ng equipment can save many man hours and reduce costs which will give you the promised cut quality and longer consumable parts life. Cut quality issues or poor consumable life are generally the most experienced problems seen with plasma cu琀ng systems and more o昀琀en than not are caused by the same thing, for example, low or too high air pressure, low air 昀氀ow, water or oil in the supply airline will all give you poor cut quality and premature consumable wear.
MAINTENANCE The following opera琀椀on requires su昀케cient professional knowledge on electric aspects and comprehensive safety knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the machine is disconnected from the electricity supply and wait for 5 minutes before removing the machine covers. In order to guarantee that your cu琀ng and welding machine works e昀케ciently and in safety, it must be maintained regularly.
