3. CARRY STRAP ASSEMBLY
2.2. GENERAL SAFETY
DANGER! Direct contact with the plasma inverter circuit or torch is dangerous. You MUST unplug the inverter from the mains power
supply, before connecting or disconnecting cables or performing maintenance or service.
Keep the plasma inverter, cables and torch in good condition. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
Use recommended parts and accessories only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Only use the cutting torch provided and ensure that any replacement is of the same type.
Use the plasma inverter in a suitable work area. Ensure that the area has adequate ventilation as cutting fumes are harmful.
For enclosed areas we recommend the use of an air and smoke extraction system. If you are not able to provide adequate
extraction and/or ventilation, wear a respirator suitable for protection against toxic fumes, smoke and gases.
Ensure that there are no obstructions to the flow of clean cool air and ensure that there are no conductive dusts, corrosive vapours
or humidity which could enter the unit and cause serious damage.
WARNING: Use a welding head shield to protect your eyes and avoid exposing skin to the ultraviolet rays given off by the electric
arc. Always wear protective clothing, insulating gloves and shoes. Keep all protective items clean and undamaged.
Remove ill fitting clothing before wearing protective clothing. Also remove watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long
hair.
Stand correctly, keeping a good footing and balance and ensure that the floor is not slippery. Wear non-slip shoes.
Ensure that the workpiece is correctly secured before cutting.
Avoid unintentional contact with the workpiece. Accidental or uncontrolled switching on of the torch may be dangerous and will wear
the nozzle.
Keep unauthorised persons away from the work area. Any persons working within the area must wear the same protective items as
the operator.
DO NOT use cables and torch if the insulation is worn or connections are loose.
DO NOT attempt to fit any unauthorised torch or other component to the plasma cutting unit.
DO NOT cut surfaces that are painted, galvanic coated, oily or greasy.
DO NOT use cables over 10m in length.
DO NOT connect the return cable to any structure which is not part of the workpiece (other than a metal work bench supporting the
workpiece).
DANGER! DO NOT cut near flammable materials - solids, liquids, or gases. Remove all flammable materials such as waste rags etc.
DO NOT cut containers or pipes which have held flammable materials - gases, liquids or solids. DO NOT cut materials that have
been cleaned with chlorinated solvents (or near such solvents) as vapours from the arc action may produce toxic gases.
DO NOT operate the inverter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.
DO NOT use the plasma inverter for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT operate the plasma inverter if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
DO NOT carry, or pull, the inverter by the leads or cables. DO NOT strain or bend the cables, protect them from sharp or abrasive
items and DO NOT stand on them.
Protect cables from heat. Long lengths of slack must be gathered and neatly coiled. DO NOT place cables where they will endanger
others.
DO NOT hold unsecured workpiece in your hand.
DO NOT get the plasma inverter wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT touch the workpiece close to the cut as it will be very hot. Allow to cool. The cut edge of the workpiece will also be very
sharp.
DO NOT touch the torch immediately after use. Allow the torch to cool.
When not in use store the unit in a safe, dry, childproof area.
WARNING! Before operating the machine ensure that you read, understand and apply Section 2 safety instructions. Ensure that the
machine is disconnected from the power supply before moving or changing accessories.
4.1. Air line
4.1.1. The supplied braided hose is plain one end for customer adaption and a 1/4"BSP female hexagon fitting the opposite end for
connection to the unit. Connect the hose to the air supply nipple shown in fig.2 and fig.4, tighten to obtain a seal only.
4.2. Torch lead
4.2.1. Connect, hand tight, the serrated plastic 1/4"BSP female fitting to the air line connection nipple shown in fig.1 and fig.4.
4.2.2. Pull the collar of the 3 pin plug back toward the cable and plug into the socket, observing the fit one way groove, and release the
collar. On removal, remember to pull back the collar initially and then the plug. DO NOT remove by pulling the cable.
4.2.3. Remove the pilot arc terminal knob fully and place the eye of the red cable over the screw and clamp with terminal knob.
4.3. Locating the inverter
4.3.1. Ensure that the work area has a good airflow and that there is no dust, smoke or gas present.
4.3.2. Ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 500mm around the machine, and that there are no obstacles to prevent a cool airflow.
Also check to ensure that the front outlet and rear grilles are not blocked.
4.3.3. When moving the machine, disconnect from the mains power supply and gather all cables safely.
4.4. Connecting the "+"
ve return cable
Connect the work clamp to the workpiece or to the metal work bench as follows:
4.4.1. Check that there is a good electrical contact. Caution: Ensure that you have made good contact on oxidised or coated sheets.
4.4.2. Make the earth connection as close to the cutting area as possible.
4.4.3. DO NOT connect to structures or objects, other than the metal work bench which is supporting the workpiece. To do so may
damage the safety system and will give a poor cut.
