WARNING
Arc eye
The arc produced for cutting can damage the eyes.
• Wear your personal protective equipment.
• Check the personal protective equipment before every cutting process.
NOTICE
• The ABICUT 25K/45/75 cutting torches must only be operated by qualified personnel
(in Germany, see TRBS 1203).
• Please consult the operating instructions for the welding components, such as the welding
power source and the robot control unit.
• Check the actual gas flow on the measuring instruments or by closing and opening the
corresponding gas outlet openings on the torch.
• All necessary parameters (such as the cutting current, soft start, compressed air etc.) must
be set on the power source in accordance with the cutting operation.
• Information and tips on the direct cutting process (technique, procedure, materials,
plasma...) can be found in the relevant technical literature and not in these operating
instructions.
• Please observe the required gas post-flow time for cooling the torch.
• When starting the pilot arc, the cutting nozzle must not be in contact with the workpiece.
• The cutting arc is ignited on the workpiece. The cutting beam is interrupted as soon as
contact with the workpiece is lost.
1 Open the compressed air valve.
2 Switch on the power source.
3 Press the trigger on the handle. After the initial gas flow period, the pilot arc is ignited by
short-circuit (ABICUT 25K, 45, 75) or by high-frequency pulses (ABICUT 75 HF).
4 Pass the torch directly over the workpiece; the cutting arc will develop.
