The Reboot CUT50 is a compact and portable IGBT inverter plasma metal cutter designed for various cutting tasks. It offers a powerful 10-50A DC output, capable of an ideal clean cut of 1/2 inch (12 mm) and a maximum severance cut of 3/5 inch (16 mm) on 230V input power.
2. Información de seguridade
ADVERTENCIA: O corte por plasma pode ser perigoso. Siga sempre as precaucións de seguridade para evitar lesións graves ou a morte.
- Protección ocular: Always wear appropriate welding helmets or safety glasses with proper shade filters to protect your eyes from intense light and sparks.
- Roupa de protección: Wear flame-resistant clothing, heavy-duty gloves, and leather aprons to protect your skin from sparks, molten metal, and UV radiation.
- Ventilación: Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area to remove fumes and gases produced during cutting. Avoid working in confined spaces.
- Seguridade eléctrica: Ensure the machine is properly grounded. Do not operate in wet conditions. Inspect power cables and connections for damage before each use. A 30A circuit breaker is recommended for 230V operation.
- Seguridade do aire comprimido: Use clean, dry compressed air at the recommended pressure (60-70 PSI). Ensure air lines are secure and free from leaks.
- Riscos de incendio: Manteña os materiais inflamables lonxe da zona de corte. Teña un extintor á man.
- Trained Personnel: This equipment should only be operated by individuals who have received proper training and understand the risks associated with plasma cutting.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento
Once the plasma cutter is set up, follow these steps for safe and effective operation:
- Preparar a peza de traballo: Ensure the material to be cut is clean and free of rust, paint, or other contaminants. Secure the workpiece on a non-flammable surface.
- Conectar a terra Clamp: Fixar firmemente o conector de terraamp to the workpiece or the cutting table, ensuring good electrical contact.
- Activar a alimentación: Switch on the main power button located on the front panel of the plasma cutter.
- Establecer Amptemperatura e presión atmosférica: Axustar o amperage knob on the front panel according to the thickness and type of material you are cutting. Refer to the recommended settings on the machine's panel or in the specifications section. Set the air pressure regulator to 60-70 PSI.
- Iniciar corte: Position the torch nozzle in contact with the workpiece (for contact cutting). Press the torch trigger to initiate the plasma arc.
- Realizar corte: Move the torch steadily along the desired cutting line. Maintain a consistent speed and distance from the material for a clean cut. Sparks and molten metal will be ejected downwards, so ensure the area below is clear.
- Corte final: Release the torch trigger once the cut is complete. Allow the material to cool before handling.
The Reboot CUT50 is suitable for cutting a variety of metals, including stainless steel, alloy steel, mild steel, copper, aluminum, cast iron, and chrome.

6. Mantemento
Un mantemento regular garante a lonxevidade e o rendemento óptimo do seu cortador de plasma:
- Inspeccionar os consumibles: Regularly check the plasma torch's electrode, nozzle, and ceramic shield for wear. Replace them when they show signs of damage or excessive wear to maintain cut quality.
- Filtro de aire limpo: The air pressure regulator includes a filter to remove moisture and contaminants from the compressed air. Periodically drain any accumulated moisture and clean or replace the filter element as needed.
- Máquina limpa: Keep the exterior of the machine clean and free of dust and debris. Ensure cooling vents are unobstructed.
- Inspección de cables: Inspeccione todos os cables (de alimentación, da lanterna, de terra) para detectar cortes, abrasións ou conexións soltas. Repare ou substitúa os cables danados inmediatamente.
7 Solución de problemas
If you encounter issues with your Reboot CUT50 Plasma Cutter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sen arco ou arco débil | Incorrect air pressure, worn consumables, poor ground connection, insufficient power. | Check air pressure (60-70 PSI). Inspect and replace torch consumables. Ensure ground clamp has good contact. Verify power supply (230V, 30A breaker recommended). |
