INSTALLATION
COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Arrange a compressed air distribution line having the following features:
Air pressure : 4 bars
Important!: Adjust the suitable (4bar) air pressure through the reducer knob on the top of the machine.
Verify the adjusted value on the gauge located on the front panel.
WARNING! : Air with considerable quantity of humidity or oil may cause an excessive wear of the parts or
even damage the torch. If there are any doubts about the qualityof the compressed air available, we
advise to use an air dryer, to be installed above the entry filter.
Connect, by means of a flexible piping , the compressed air line to the machine, using one of the connectors
included to be set on the entry air filter, which is on the rear of the machine.
CAUTION! Do not exceed maximum entry pressure of 8 bars.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The machine must be connected to a Line-Neutralsystem with a "PE" protected grounding wire. Check
that the relevant socket terminal is actually connected to the distribution system grounding.
CONNECTION TO GROUND CABLE
Connect the dinse plu to the socket and the work cable clamp to the piece to be cut or to the metallic
workbench. Take following precautions:
√ √ √ √ √
Verify that there is a good electrical contact particularly if insulated or oxidated coated
sheets are cut.
√ √ √ √ √
Make ground connections as close as possible to the cutting area. The use of the metallic
structures which are not part of the workpiece, such as the return cable of the cutting
current, may endanger the safety system and give poor cutting results.
√ √ √ √ √
Do not make a ground connection on the piece which has to be removed.
TORCH CONNECTION
WARNING!: Before starting the cutting operations verify that the parts are properly assembled
by inspecting the head of the torch as shown on paragraph "Torch Maintenance"
LOCATION AND HANDLING OF THE POWER SOURCE
√ √ √ √ √
Choose location verifying that there is a good air flow and no dust, smoke or gas is present.
√ √ √ √ √
Make sure that obstacles do not prevent the cooling air flow out of front and rear openings of the machine.
√ √ √ √ √
Arrange an open space of at least 5m around the machine.
√ √ √ √ √
In the case the machine has to be moved, always disconnect the plug from the outlet and gather the
cables and pipes so as not to damage them.
Capacity: 100L/min.
