of quick movements is sparks that fall of the
top of the workpiece. Move the plasma
burner at a

speed in which the spark
accumulation is concentrated on the bottom
side of the workpiece. Ensure the material is
completely separated prior to continuing
with this process. Set the necessary drag
speed.
Distance cutting
In some case, it is benefi cial cut while
holding the burner sleeve
of 1.5 mm to 3 mm above the workpiece.
This reduces the quantity of material that is
blown back into the tip. This makes it
possible to penetrate thicker material
strengths. Distance cutting should be used if
penetration or furrow work is carried out.
Furthermore, the "distance" working
technique can be used when you need to cut
sheet metal to minimise the risk of material
splashing back which could damage the tip.
Perforation
To drill through place the tip approx. 3.2 mm
above the workpiece. Hold the plasma
burner at a slight

and lower the tip of the plasma burner
until there is a main cutting arch and sparks
begin to form. Test the perforation on a test
object that is no longer needed and once
there are no problems start drilling through
at the previously defi ned cutting line on your
workpiece. Check the plasma burner
wear and tear, cracks or exposed cable
pieces. Replace or repair them prior to using
the device. A badly worn burner sleeve
contributes to the reduction of speed, voltage
and unclean separation. An indication for

• Troubleshooting
PLEASE NOTE!
When the trigger of the burner is
pressed, the voltage required for cutting
will build up inside the plasma cutter.
If the power circuit is then closed, then
the voltage which has built up will be
discharged through the integrated spark
gap. The electrical discharge which
results from this within the device does
not indicate a malfunction.
