3. Configuración

Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective operation. Follow these steps carefully.

3.1 Air Compressor Connection

An air compressor is required for plasma cutting. Ensure it meets the recommended specifications: 90 PSI, 60 L/min or above.

  • Attach the air filter regulator to the machine's air input port.
  • Connect the gas hose from your air compressor to the air filter regulator.
  • Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks.

Video: Demonstrates the installation process of the air regulator to the plasma cutter and connecting it to an air compressor. This ensures proper air supply for cutting operations.

3.2 Conexión eléctrica

The FC650DL supports dual voltage operation. Use the appropriate power source and circuit protection.

  • Conecte o cable de alimentación a unha toma eléctrica adecuada.
  • For 120V operation, use a 55A circuit breaker.
  • For 240V operation, use a 40A circuit breaker.
  • Use the included conversion cord if switching between 120V and 240V systems.

3.3 Tocha e conexión a terraamp Conexión

Connect the cutting torch and ground clamp securely to the machine.

  • Connect the AG60 plasma cutting torch to the designated torch connector on the front panel.
  • Conecte a terra clamp cable to the earth clamp conector.
  • Suxeitar o chan clamp firmly to the workpiece, ensuring good electrical contact.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento

Once the machine is set up, follow these steps to begin cutting.

4.1 Power On and Parameter Setting

  • Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel.
  • Use the current adjustable knob on the front panel to set the desired cutting amperage. Refer to the cutting chart for recommended settings based on material thickness.
  • Adjust the pressure control knob on the air filter regulator to achieve the recommended air pressure (e.g., 50 PSI for 120V, 60 PSI for 240V).

4.2 Técnicas de corte

The non-touch pilot arc feature simplifies starting the cut.

  • Position the torch nozzle approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) above the workpiece.
  • Press the torch switch to initiate the pilot arc.
  • Slowly move the torch across the material at a consistent speed. Adjust speed as needed for clean cuts.
  • Maintain a steady torch angle, typically perpendicular to the workpiece.
