5. Operating the Plasma Cutter
Before operating, ensure all safety precautions are in place and the setup is complete.
- Жумушчу бөлүгүн даярдоо: Clean the metal surface to be cut, removing any rust, paint, or grease. Secure the workpiece firmly.
- Ground Clamp: Жерге туташтыргычты бекем бекитиңизamp жакшы электр байланышын камсыз кылуу, даярдоо бөлүгүнө.
- Күйгүзүү: Turn on the main power switch of the plasma cutter.
- Абанын басымын жөнгө салуу: Set the air pressure regulator to the recommended pressure for your cutting application (refer to the specifications or a cutting chart for guidance).
- Adjust Cutting Current: Use the current adjustment knob on the front panel to set the desired amperage (15 to 40 A) based on the material type and thickness.
- Arc баштоо: Position the torch nozzle close to the starting point of the cut. Press the trigger on the torch to initiate the pilot arc.
- Кесүүнү баштоо: Once the pilot arc is established, move the torch steadily along the desired cut line. Maintain a consistent speed and standoff distance for a clean cut.
- Толук кесүү: Release the trigger once the cut is complete. Allow the machine to cool down if operating for extended periods.

Кесүү боюнча кеңештер:
- For thicker materials, a slower travel speed and higher amperage may be required.
- For thinner materials, a faster travel speed and lower amperage will help prevent warping.
- Practice on scrap material to find the optimal settings for your specific task.
6. Техникалык тейлөө
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your plasma cutter. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.
- Consumables Inspection: Regularly inspect the torch consumables (electrode, nozzle, swirl ring, shield cup) for wear. Replace them when they show signs of degradation to maintain cut quality.
- Air Filter/Water Trap: Check and drain the water trap on the air pressure regulator regularly. If the air filter is present, clean or replace it as needed to ensure clean, dry air supply.
- Тазалоо: Keep the plasma cutter unit clean and free of dust and metal particles. Use compressed air to blow out internal components periodically, ensuring vents are clear.
- Кабелдик текшерүү: Inspect all cables (power, torch, ground) for cuts, abrasions, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged cables immediately.
- Сактагыч: Store the plasma cutter in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
