1. Introduzzjoni
The FLARING FC650DL 5th Generation Plasma Cutter is a powerful and portable tool designed for efficient metal cutting. Featuring non-touch pilot arc technology, it allows for cutting without direct contact between the tip and the metal, enhancing cutting quality and extending consumable lifespan. This machine supports dual voltage operation (120V/240V) and is suitable for a wide range of materials including stainless steel, alloy steel, mild steel, copper, and aluminum.
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, setup, and maintenance of your FLARING plasma cutter. Please read it thoroughly before use.
2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà
WARNING: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including welding helmet with proper shade, flame-resistant clothing, welding gloves, and safety shoes when operating the plasma cutter. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhaling fumes.
- Sigurtà Elettrika: Ensure the machine is properly grounded. Do not operate in wet conditions. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or assembly.
- Perikli tan-Nar: Plasma cutting produces sparks and molten metal. Keep flammable materials away from the work area. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
- Dħaħen u Gassijiet: Work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust ventilation to remove fumes. Avoid breathing fumes directly.
- Protezzjoni tal-Għajnejn u tal-Ġilda: Protect eyes from arc rays and sparks with a welding helmet. Protect skin from burns with appropriate clothing.
- Partijiet sħan: The torch and workpiece will be hot after cutting. Allow them to cool before handling.

4.4 Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija
The FLARING FC650DL supports dual voltage (120V/240V). Use the included conversion cord to adapt to your power supply. For 240V, a 30A circuit breaker is recommended. For 120V, a 60A circuit breaker is recommended. Always ensure the power source matches the machine's requirements and is properly rated for the current draw.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
5.1 Operazzjoni Ġenerali
Once the machine is set up and connected, turn on the power switch. Adjust the current knob to the desired amperage based on the material thickness. The pilot arc technology allows for cutting without direct contact, making it easier to start cuts on painted or rusty surfaces. Maintain a consistent travel speed for clean and efficient cuts.
