Il y a DU COURANT CONTINU IMPORTANT dans les convertisseurs après la suppression de l’ali- mentation électrique. D Arrêter les convertisseurs, débrancher le courant électrique, et dé- charger les condensateurs d’alimentation selon les instructions indiquées dans la partie entretien avant de toucher les pièces.
LES BOUTEILLES peuvent exploser si elles sont endommagées. Les bouteilles de gaz contiennent du gaz sous haute pression. Si une bouteille est endommagée, elle peut exploser. Puisque les bouteilles de gaz font habituellement partie d’un processus de travail des métaux, assurez−vous de les manipuler correctement.

SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Specifications NOTE If the unit is operated from a 30* ampere, 115 volt circuit or a 15** ampere, 230 volt circuit, a different input power plug must be installed on the power cord. See Section 4-9 for instructions. *A 30 ampere branch circuit is recommended for maximum performance.

4-6. Connecting Gas/Air Supply Tools Needed: 5/8, 1-1/8 in From Gas/Air Supply OM-2229 Page 14 Use only clean, dry air with 70 to 150 psi (483 to 1034 kPa) pressure. Gas/Air Inlet Opening Hose Teflon Tape Obtain hose with 1/4 NPT right- hand thread fitting.
4-7. Connecting Work Clamp 4-8. Connecting Input Power Work Clamp Workpiece Connect work clamp to a clean, paint-free location on workpiece, as close to cutting area as possible. 802 463-A Check input voltage available at site. Changeover Switch Switch is accessible through slot in rear panel.
4-9. Installing Alternative Plug This procedure is necessary if the unit is to be connected to a 230 VAC receptacle, or to a 115 VAC receptacle that requires a plug that is different from the supplied plug. See Section 4-8 for instructions on setting changeover switch for proper voltage.
SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Controls Setting Gas/Air Pressure Requires 70-150 PSI (483-1034 kPa) Supply Output Control Use control to set cutting output. Place control in Gas/Air Set position to safely adjust gas/air pressure. Only gas/air circuit is activated. If 22-27 amperes of cutting output is used with 115 VAC input power, and the overload protection on the input power circuit fre- quently opens, either reduce the cutting out-...
5-2. Cutting Speed 5-3. Trigger Safety Lock Trigger Locked OM-2229 Page 18 The cutting speed curves show the recommended maximum cutting speed capabilities of the power source and torch for mild steel of various thickness. Cut at speeds below the lines shown to avoid poor cuts and torch wear.
5-4. Sequence Of Operation EXAMPLE Of Cutting Operation The pilot arc starts immediately when trigger is pressed. Raise trigger lock and press After cutting arc starts, slowly Place tip on work for drag cutting. trigger. Pilot arc starts. start moving torch across metal. For maximum cutting speed and tip life, use a standoff distance of 1/16 in (1.6 mm) to 1/8 in (3.2 mm).

6-2. Overload Protection: Trouble Lights & Checking Shield Cup Shutdown System Checking Torch Shield Cup Shutdown System Power must be reset whenever the cup shutdown system is activated. Always turn Off power when changing or checking consumables. Power Light Light is steady if input power is okay.
6-3. Torch And Work Cable Connections Tools Needed: 1/4 in OM-2229 Page 22 If torch or work cable needs to be removed or replaced, proceed as follows: Turn power Off, and disconnect input power plug from receptacle. Remove wrapper from unit. Torch Connections Remove existing torch cable from unit.
6-4. Checking/Replacing Retaining Cup, Tip, And Electrode Inspect shield cup, tip, and electrode for wear before cutting or whenever cutting speed has been significantly reduced. Do not operate torch without a tip or electrode in place. Be sure to use genuine replacement parts. A good practice is to replace both the tip and electrode at the same time.
6-5. Troubleshooting Power Source Is input power Connect unit to proper input connected to voltage (see Section 4-8). correct line voltage? Is Changeover Place Changeover switch in switch S2 in proper position for input the 115V or voltage (see Section 4-8). 230V position? Does the breaker Turn down output current.
6-6. Troubleshooting Torch Does arc go while cutting? Does arc go out while cutting? Do sparks come out of top of cut; or cut is not clean? Is Trouble light On; unit has no cutting output? Go to Section 6-5. Torch travel speed too slow;...
