• 2T/4T Switch: The control panel includes a 2T/4T switch. In 2T (Two-Touch) mode, the arc starts when the trigger is pressed and stops when released. In 4T (Four-Touch) mode, the arc starts with a brief press and release, and stops with another brief press and release, allowing for longer cuts without continuously holding the trigger.

5. Instrucións de configuración

Before beginning, ensure the machine is powered off and disconnected from the main power supply.

1. Desembalaxe: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Connect Air Filter Regulator: Attach the air filter and pressure regulator assembly to the designated 'AIR IN' port on the rear of the plasma cutter. Ensure a secure, airtight connection.
3. Conectar a subministración de aire: Connect your air compressor hose to the inlet of the air filter regulator. The air compressor should be capable of providing sufficient airflow and pressure for plasma cutting (refer to specifications).
4. Conectar a terra Clamp: Fixar firmemente o conector de terraamp cable to the positive (+) terminal on the front panel of the plasma cutter. Connect the clamp to the workpiece or a clean, bare metal section of the work table, ensuring good electrical contact.
5. Connect Cutting Torch: Plug the XT45 cutting torch cable into the negative (-) terminal on the front panel. Twist to lock it in place.
6. Conexión de alimentación: Connect the plasma cutter's power cord to a suitable 230V power outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and can handle the machine's current requirements.
7. Initial Air Pressure Adjustment: Turn on your air compressor. Adjust the air filter regulator to the recommended operating pressure (typically 4.5-5.5 bar or 65-80 PSI for plasma cutting, consult specific torch recommendations if available).

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing before operating the plasma cutter.

1. Encendido: Flip the main power switch on the rear of the machine to the 'ON' position. The LCD display will illuminate.
2. Axustar a corrente: Use the current adjustment knob on the front panel to set the desired cutting amperage. The LCD display will show the selected current. Refer to cutting charts for recommended settings based on material type and thickness.
3. Seleccionar o modo 2T/4T: Choose between 2T (Two-Touch) or 4T (Four-Touch) mode using the switch on the control panel, depending on your cutting preference and duration.
4. Preparar a peza de traballo: Ensure the workpiece is clean, dry, and free of rust or paint for optimal cutting. Secure the ground clamp firmly to the workpiece or work table.
5. Initiate Pilot Arc: Position the torch nozzle approximately 1-2mm above the starting point of the cut. Press the torch trigger. The pilot arc will ignite without touching the workpiece.
6. Comezar a cortar: Once the pilot arc is established, slowly move the torch across the workpiece, maintaining a consistent standoff distance. The plasma jet will cut through the metal. Adjust cutting speed as needed to achieve a clean cut.
7. Corte de monitor: Observe the molten metal and sparks. A proper cut will show sparks exiting from the bottom of the workpiece. If sparks are spraying upwards, the cutting speed may be too fast or the current too low.
8. End Cut: Release the torch trigger to extinguish the arc. Allow the workpiece to cool before handling.
9. Apagado: After completing your work, turn off the plasma cutter and disconnect it from the power supply.

7. Mantemento

Un mantemento regular garante a lonxevidade e o rendemento óptimo do seu cortador de plasma.

• Consumable Inspection: Regularly inspect the torch consumables (nozzle, electrode, shield cup) for wear. Replace them when they show signs of pitting, excessive wear, or damage to maintain cut quality and arc stability.

• Regulador do filtro de aire: Periodically check the water trap on the air filter regulator. Drain any accumulated moisture by opening the drain valve at the bottom. Ensure the filter element is clean; replace if heavily contaminated.
• Limpeza: Keep the machine and torch clean. Wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth. Ensure cooling vents are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
• Inspección de cables: Inspect all cables (power, torch, ground) for cuts, abrasions, or damage. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
• Almacenamento: Store the plasma cutter in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
