Introduction

SKYLINE 33 is an innovative current generator for the
plasma cutting of metals, designed for even the most
discerning professional, while being extremely simple
to use for the less experienced operator to guarantee
results that are always perfect.
The innovative technology that has been adopted, the
scrupulous construction care and the use of cutting
edge materials and components have helped reduce
the weight, the volume and the energy intake,
increasing its reliability, performance and the cutting
features.
The generator gives excellent quality cuts without
burring on the reverse for both fine and medium thick
sheets in soft steel, stainless steel, aluminium and
aluminium alloys.
The pilot arc is initiated by starting LIFT (without the use
of high frequency); this allows excellent outward
absence of electromagnetic interference. An automatic
restart device allows the continuous cutting of punched
plates and grids.
The protection systems on the generator make it
extremely safe to use and protect its integrity in case of
overheating, overvoltage and overloads. In the event of
overvoltage the generator automatically disconnects
from the mains and turns itself off and the problem will
be signalled the next time it is turned back on.
Furthermore, with the innovative intake power control
function it is ideal for using with any sort of generating
sets (minimum 3kVA) exploiting all its available
energy.
Furthermore, these main characteristics are supported
by the traditional sturdy and reliable construction of INE
welding machines.
SKYLINE 33 welding machines are constructed
according to the following standards EN 60974:
•
as far as operators health prevention against electric
shocks is concerned.
•
as far as electromagnetic compatibility is concerned
(noise disturbing other
operating in the vicinity).
INE declines any liability should the cutting machine be
used incorrectly (ex.: to defrost pipes, to charge
batteries, etc.) or modified by the customer or third
parties without any
manufacturer.
INE generators have been designed for professional
use and must be used exclusively by adequately
trained persons.

Prevention against electric shocks

The machine must be installed by authorised persons
with specific technical and professional know-how,
conforming to the laws in force in the country where it is
installed.
Before connecting the power source to the mains,
always check that:
•
the voltage received falls within ±10% allowance of
the nominal value displayed on the machine plate;
•
the mains input is properly grounded (as provided in
the relevant legislation) and the yellow/green wire of
the welding machine is connected to the ground;
•
the mains supply is equipped with a grounded
neutral conductor;
•
the power source is in a dry and ventilated place.
When using the machine, make sure that the following
precautionary measures are taken in the workplace:
•
ensure that no metallic body may accidentally get
into contact with the power cables;
•
do not carry out any welding operation in damp or
wet areas;
•
ground any metallic parts falling within the operator's
reach;
•
keep all flammable materials away from the working·
area;
•
connect the work return lead of the cutting circuit to a
place as close as possible to the cutting area in order
to minimise the current path and the relevant risks;
•
make sure that cutting torches and cables are in
perfect condition.
WARNING! Since the operating voltage in a plasma
cutting circuit may range between 100V and 500V
(vs. 10÷100V in a welding circuit) special attention
should be paid to the maintenance and wear
condition of cables and torches. Non-insulated
parts of the torch should never be touched as they
represent a serious danger of electrocution.
Furthermore, the operator should stick to the following
behavioural rules:
•
do not connect plasma cutting machines in series or
parallel;
•
in the case two or more cutters should operate on
the
electrically connected parts, it is suggested that they
work at a suitable distance from each other and that
none of them touches two torches at the same time;
•
do not place the torch on metallic surfaces: this might
be a condition for the machine to be started
accidentally;
•
always wear insulating garments.
