6 Operating elements
6.1 Igniting the torch
CAUTION
Risk of injury
• Prior to each cutting process, check your personal protective equipment.
NOTICE
• All parameters required (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...) are given in the relevant technical literature and not
in these operating instructions.
NOTICE
• As the PSB cutting torches are integrated into a cutting system, the
operating instructions of the welding components, such as the power
source, must be observed.
• When using the PSB manual cutting torch, the two-cycle mode of the
trigger can be activated.
NOTICE
• The plasma pilot arc is struck by a high frequency pulse when the trigger
(on the manual torch) is actuated and after a gas pre-flow time.
Exception: PSB 31 equipped with KZS or KKS
• Upon starting the pilot arc (via the soft start device), the cutting nozzle
must not touch the work-piece.
• Use the accessories for optimum cutting nozzle distance from the work-
piece.
• The cutting arc is ignited on the work-piece. The cutting jet is interrupted
when contact to the workpiece is discontinued or the control voltage is
interrupted when the trigger is pressed.
• Please observe the required gas post-flow time for cooling the torch.
