ELECTRIC SHOCK

CAN KILL.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are

electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do

not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.

Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area

of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if

welding must be performed under electrically

hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while

wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as

floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped

positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there

is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact

with the workpiece or ground) use the following

equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,

electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding

gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical

connection with the metal being welded. The connection should

be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth)

ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and

welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace

damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode

holders connected to two welders because voltage

between the

two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both

welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your

eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or

observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should

conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material

to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable

screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose

themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

FUMES AND GASES

CAN BE DANGEROUS.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume.

Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes

and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding

hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS)

or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other

metals or coatings which produce highly toxic

fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and

within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits

using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation

unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise.

In confined spaces or in some circumstances,

outdoors, a respirator may also be required.

Additional precautions are also required when

welding

on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by

various factors including proper use and positioning of the

equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific

welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure

level should be checked upon installation and periodically

thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and

ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors

coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The

heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form

phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause

injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in

confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety

practices. SDS forms are available from your welding

distributor or from the manufacturer.

WELDING AND CUTTING

SPARKS CAN CAUSE

FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If

this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks

from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and

openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines.

Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special

precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.

Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1)

and the operating information for the equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is

touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause

overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the

proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures

will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.

They can cause an explosion even though they have been

“cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe

Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”,

AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or

welding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free

protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless

trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs

when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear

safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area

as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or

other locations away from the welding area increase the

possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,

crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire

hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “Standard for Fire Prevention During

Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1

Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.

6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF

DAMAGED.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing

the correct shielding gas for the process used

and properly operating regulators designed for

the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,

etc. should be suitable for the application and

maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to

an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected

to physical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations

and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other

electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet

when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight

except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders,

associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for

Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available from

the Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter Way

Chantilly, VA 20151.

SAFETY

General Precautions

Whereas plasma cutting has been used safely for years, it does

require certain precautions to ensure the safety of the operator and

other people around the equipment. The following safety information

must be provided to each person who will operate, observe, perform

maintenance, or work in close proximity to this piece of equipment.

Installation, operation, and repairs made to the system should only be

performed by qualied personnel. The system makes use of both A.C.

and D.C. circuitry for operation. Fatal shock hazard does exist.

Exercise extreme caution while working on the system. Safety decals

On the power supply should not be removed.

ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION

PROTECTION

Plasma cutting produces ultraviolet radiation similar to a welding arc.

This ultraviolet radiation can cause skin and eye burns. For this

reason, it is essential that proper protection be worn. The eyes are

best protected by using safety glasses or a welding helmet with an

AWS No. 12 shade or ISO 4850 No. 13 shade, which provides

protection up to 400 amperes. All exposed skin areas should be

covered with ame-retardant clothing. The cutting area should also

be prepared in such a way that ultraviolet light does not reect. Walls

and other surfaces should be painted with dark colors to reduce

reected light. Protective screens or curtains should be installed to

protect additional workers in the area from ultraviolet radiation.

NOISE PROTECTION

The system generates high noise levels while cutting. Depending on

the size of the cutting area, distance from the cutting torch, and arc

current cutting level, acceptable noise levels may be exceeded.

Proper ear protection should be used as dened by local or national

codes. See Section 2 for noise emission levels.

TOXIC FUME PREVENTION

Care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation in the cutting

area. Some materials give off toxic fumes that can be harmful or fatal

to people in the vicinity of the cutting area. Also, some solvents

decompose and form harmful gases when exposed to ultraviolet

radiation. These solvents should be removed from the area prior to

cutting. Galvanized metal can produce harmful gases during the

cutting process. Ensure proper ventilation and use breathing

equipment when cutting these materials.

Certain metals coated with or containing lead, cadmium, zinc,

beryllium, and mercury produce harmful toxins. Do not cut these

metals unless all people subjected to the fumes wear proper air

breathing equipment.

ELECTRIC SHOCK PREVENTION

The system uses high open circuit voltages that can be

fatal. Extreme care should be used when operating or

performing maintenance on the system. Only qualied personnel

should service the system. Observe the following guidelines to protect

against electric shock:

• A wall-mounted disconnect switch should be installed and fused

according to local and national electrical codes. The disconnect

switch should be located as close as possible to the power supply

so it can be turned off in case of an emergency.

• The primary power cord should have a 600 volt minimum rating in

order to protect the operator. In addition, it should be sized

according to local and national electrical codes. Inspect the primary

power cord frequently. Never operate the system if the power cord

is damaged in any way.

• Make sure the primary power ground wire is connected at the input

power ground location on the power supply. Make sure the

connection is securely tightened.

• Make sure the positive output (work ground) of the power supply is

connected to a bare metal area on the cutting table. A driven

ground rod should be placed no further than ve feet from this

connection. Make sure this ground point on the cutting table is

used as the star ground point for all other ground connections.

• Inspect the torch leads frequently. Never use the system if the leads

are damaged in any way.

• Do not stand in wet, damp areas when operating or performing

maintenance on the system.

• Wear insulated gloves and shoes while operating or performing

maintenance on the system.

• Make sure the system is switched off at the wall disconnect before

servicing the power supply or torch.

• Never change torch consumable parts unless main power to the

system is switched off at the power supply or wall disconnect.

• Do not attempt to remove any parts from beneath the torch when

cutting. Remember that the workpiece forms the current path back

to the power supply.

• Never bypass the safety interlock devices.

• Before removing any of the covers, switch the system off at the wall

disconnect. Wait at least ve (5) minutes before removing any

cover. This will give the capacitors inside the unit time to discharge.

See Section 5 for additional safety precautions.

• Never operate the system without all of the covers in place. See

Section 5 for additional safety precautions.

• Preventive maintenance should be performed daily to avoid

possible safety hazards.

FIRE PREVENTION

When using the system , it is necessary to exercise good

judgment. While cutting, the arc produces sparks that could cause a

re if they fall on ammable materials. Make sure that all ammable

materials are a suitable distance away from the cutting area. All

ammable liquids should be at least 40 feet away from the cutting

area, preferably stored in a metal cabinet. Plasma cutting should

never be attempted on containers that contain ammable materials.

Make sure that re extinguishers are readily accessible in the cutting

area.

EXPLOSION PREVENTION

The system uses compressed gases. Use proper

techniques when handling compressed gas cylinders and other

compressed gas equipment. Observe the following guidelines to

protect against explosion:

• Never operate the system in the presence of explosive gases or

other explosive materials.

• Never cut pressurized cylinders or any closed container.

• When using a water table and cutting aluminum under water or

with water touching the underside at the aluminum plate,

hydrogen gas is produced. This hydrogen gas may collect under

the plate and explode during the cutting process. Make sure the

water table is properly aerated to help prevent the accumulation

of hydrogen gas.

• Handle all gas cylinders in accordance with safety standards

published by the U.S. Compressed Gas Association (CGA),

American Welding Society (AWS), Canadian Standards

Association (CSA), or other local or national codes.

• Compressed gas cylinders should be maintained properly. Never

attempt to use a cylinder that is leaking, cracked, or has other

signs of physical damage.

• All gas cylinders should be secured to a wall or rack to prevent

accidental knock over.

• If a compressed gas cylinder is not being used, replace the

protective valve cover.

• Never attempt to repair compressed gas cylinders.

• Keep compressed gas cylinders away from intense heat, sparks,

or ames.

• Clear the compressed gas cylinder connection point by opening

the valve momentarily prior to installing a regulator.

• Never lubricate compressed gas cylinder valves or pressure

regulators with any type of oil or grease.

• Never use a compressed gas cylinder or pressure regulator for

any purpose other than which it is intended.

• Never use a pressure regulator for any gas other than which it is

intended.

• Never use a pressure regulator that is leaking or has other signs

of physical damage.

• Never use any gas hose that is leaking or has other signs of

physical damage.

HEALTH SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

The system creates electric and magnetic elds that

may interfere with certain types of health support

equipment, such as pacemakers. Any person who uses a pacemaker

or similar item should consult a doctor before operating, observing,

maintaining, or servicing the system. Observe the following guidelines

to minimize exposure to these electric and magnetic elds:

• Stay as far away from the~power supply, torch, and torch leads

as possible.

• Route the torch leads as close as possible to the work ground

cable.

• Never place your body between the torch leads and work ground

cable. Keep the work ground cable and the torch leads on the

same side of your body.

• Never stand in the center of a coiled up set of torch leads or work

ground cable.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The FLEXCUT®80 CCC is a constant current, continuous control

plasma cutting power source. It provides superior and reliable starting

characteristics, cutting visibility and arc stability. The control system

has a safety mechanism to insure that the nozzle and electrode are in

place before cutting or gouging. This is extremely important due to

the high voltages involved.

The FLEXCUT®80 CCC comes standard with an air regulator and

pressure gauge. Torches and consumables are included with

FLEXCUT®80 CCC One-Paks®, so that cutting can begin right out of

the box. Consumables and torches can also be ordered as individual

packages.

The FLEXCUT®80 CCC initiates the plasma arc with a simple, yet

reliable, contact start mechanism. This system eliminates many of the

failure problems associated with hi-frequency start systems.

PREHEAT TEMPERATURE FOR PLASMA CUTTING

Preheat temperature control is not necessary in most applications

when plasma arc cutting or gouging. Preheat temperature control

may be necessary on high carbon alloy steels and heat treated

aluminum for crack resistance and hardness control. Job conditions,

prevailing codes, alloy level, and other considerations may also

require preheat temperature control. The following minimum preheat

temperature is recommended as a starting point. Higher temperatures

may be used as required by the job conditions and/or prevailing

codes. If cracking or excessive hardness occurs on the cut face,

higher preheat temperature may be required. The recommended

minimum preheat temperature for plate thickness up to 1/2"

(12.7mm) is 70°F (21.1°C).

DUTY CYCLE

The duty cycle of a plasma machine is the percentage of time in a 10

minute cycle at which the operator can operate the machine at rated

cutting current.

Example: 80% duty cycle means that it is possible to cut for 8

minutes, followed by 2 minutes of machine idling.

Refer to the Technical Specication section for more information

about the machine rated duty cycles.

USER RESPONSIBILITY

Because design, fabrication, erection and cutting variables affect the

results obtained in applying this type of information, the serviceability

of a product or structure is the responsibility of the user. Variation

such as plate chemistry, plate surface condition (oil, scale), plate

thickness, preheat, quench, gas type, gas ow rate and equipment

may produce results different than those expected. Some adjustments

to procedures may be necessary to compensate for unique individual

conditions. Test all procedures duplicating actual eld conditions.
