7 Operation

7.6 Igniting the torch

NOTICE
• The plasma pilot arc is struck by high-frequency pulses when the trigger (on the manual
torch) is actuated and after a gas pre-flow time.
• When starting the initial arc (via the soft start device), the cutting nozzle must not touch
the workpiece.
• Contact between the cutting nozzle and the workpiece causes the soft start process to
malfunction.
• Use the accessories for an optimum cutting nozzle distance from the workpiece.
• The cutting arc is ignited on the workpiece. The cutting jet is interrupted when contact to
the workpiece is discontinued or the control voltage is interrupted using the trigger.
• Please observe the required gas post-flow time for cooling the torch.
To prevent inadvertent ignition, put down the cutting torch in such a way that the lever-type
trigger cannot be actuated.

7.7 Cutting process

CAUTION

Risk of injury

• Prior to each cutting process, check your personal protective equipment.
NOTICE
• All necessary parameters (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...) can be found in the relevant technical literature rather that in these operating
instructions.
