SAFETY
CAUTION
1.Working Environment.
1.1 The environment in which this welding equipment is installed must be free of
grinding dust, corrosive chemicals, ammable gas or materials etc, and at no
more than maximum of 80% humidity.
1.2 When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light,
rain water and snow etc;the temperature of working environment should be
maintained within -14°F to +104°F.
1.3 Keep this equipment distant from the wall.
1.4 Ensure the working environment is well ventilated.
2.Safety Tips.
2.1 Ventilation
This equipment is small-sized, compact in structure, and of excellent
performance in amperage output.The fan is used to dissipate heat generated
by this equipment during the welding operation. Important: Maintain good
ventilation of the louvers of this equipment. The minimum distance betweenthis
equipment and any other objects in or near the working area should be 1ft.
Good ventilation is of critical importance for the normal performance and
service life of this equipment.
2.2 Thermal Overload protection.
Should the machine be used to an excessive level, or in high temperature
environment, poorly ventilated area or if the fan malfunctions the Thermal
Overload Switch will be activated and the machine will cease to operate. Under
this circumstance, leave the machine switched on to keep the built-in fan
working to bring down the temperature inside the equipment. The machine will
be ready for use again when the internal temperature reaches safe level.
2.3 Over-Voltage Supply
Regarding the power supply voltage range of the machine, please refer to“Main
parameter”table. This equipment is of automatic voltage compensation, which
enables the maintaining of the voltage range within the given range. In case
that the voltage of input power supply amperage exceeds the stipulated value,
it is possible to cause damage to the components of this equipment. Please
ensure your primary power supply is correct.
2.4 Do not come into contact with the output terminals while the machine is in
operation. An electric shock may possibly occur.

SAFETY
Maintenance
Exposure to extremely dusty, damp, or corrosive air is damaging to the welding
machine. In order to prevent any possible failure or fault of this welding
equipment, clean the dust at regular intervals with clean and dry compressed air
of required pressure.
Please note that: lack of maintenance can result in the cancellation of the
guarantee; the guarantee of this welding equipment will be void if the machine
has been modied, attempt to take apart the machine or open the factory-made
sealing of the machine without the consent of an authorized representative of the
manufacturer.

regulations of the European Council Directive 89/336/EEC, (EMC Directive)
and to the National legislation for he enforcement of this Directive.
Aip plasma cutting technology
Plasma cutters work by passing an electric arc through a gas that is passing
through a constricted opening. The gas can be air, nitrogen, argon, oxygen. etc.
The electric arc elevates the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a
4th state of matter. We all are familiar with the rst three: i.e.,Solid, liquid, and gas.
Scientists call this additional state plasma. As the metal being cut is part of the
circuit, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to the
work. The restricted opening (nozzle) the gas passes through causes it to
squeeze by at a high speed, like air passing through a venturi in a carburettor.
This high speed gas cuts through the molten metal.
Plasma cutting was invented as the result of trying to develop a better welding
process. Many improvements then led to making this technology what it is today.
Plasma cutters provide the best combination of accuracy, speed, and aord ability
for producing a variety of at metal shapes. They can cut much ner, and faster
than oxy-acetylene torches.

SAFETY
How a plasma cutter works
Basic plasma cutters use electricity to superheat air into plasma (the 4th state of
matter), which is then blown through the metal to be cut. Plasma cutters require
a compressed air supply and AC power to operate.
Operation
1. When the trigger is squeezed, DC current ows through the torch lead into the
nozzle.
2. Next, compressed air ows through the torch head, through the air diuser that
spirals the air ow around the electrode and through the hole of the cutting
nozzle.
3. A xed gap is established between the electrode and the nozzle. (The power
supply increases voltage in order to maintain a constant current through the
joint.) Electrons arc across the gap, ionizing and super heating the air creating a
plasma stream.
4. Finally, the regulated DC current is switched so that it no longer ows to the
nozzle but instead ows from the electrode to the work piece. Current and airow
continue until cutting is stopped.

Notes:
The nozzle and electrode require periodic replacement. The electrode has an insert
of tough high conductive material such as hafnium and cerium. This insert erodes
with use, also the nozzle orice will erode with use.
Quality of the air used is paramount to longer life of electrodes and nozzles, in
short clean dry air gives longer parts life, the cleaner and dryer the better. We
recommend use of a Plasma Air Filter.

SAFETY
What kinds of materials can the plasma cut?
Virtually any metal can be plasma cut including steel, stainless steel, aluminium,
brass, copper, etc. Any thickness from 30 gauge through 13/16" can be cut,
depending on the power of the plasma cutter used.
How Does Plasma Cutting Compare to Oxy-fuel (gas) cutting?
Plasma cutting can be performed on any type of conductive metal - mild steel,
aluminium and stainless are some examples. With mild steel, operators will
experience faster, thicker cuts than with alloys. Oxy-fuel cuts by burning, or
oxidizing the metal it is severing. It is therefore limited to steel and other ferrous
metals which support the oxidizing process. Metals like aluminium and stainless
steel form an oxide that inhibits further oxidization, making conventional oxy-fuel
cutting impossible. Plasma cutting however does not rely on oxidation to work
and thus it can cut aluminium, stainless and any other conductive material. While
dierent gasses can be used for plasma cutting, most people today use
compressed air for the plasma gas. In most shops, compressed air is readily
available, and thus plasma does not require fuel gas and compressed oxygen for
operation. Plasma cutting is typically easier for the novice to master, and on
thinner materials, plasma cutting is much faster than oxy-fuel cutting. However,
for heavy sections of steel (1" and greater), oxy-fuel is still preferred since
oxy-fuel is typically faster and, for heavier plate applications high powered
plasma machines are required for plasma cutting applications
What are the limitations to Plasma Cutting?
Where is Oxyfuel preferred?
The plasma cutting machines are typically more expensive than oxy/acetylene.
Also, oxy/acetylene does not require access to electrical power or compressed
air which may make it a more convenient method for some users. Oxyfuel can
generally cut thicker sections (>63/64 inch) of steel more quickly than plasma.
