  • Tips For Abnormal Gun Nozzle Installation: Alerts if the torch nozzle is incorrectly installed.
  • 2T/4T Status: Displays the selected trigger mode (2-Touch or 4-Touch).
  • Mesh Cutting Status (GRID): Indicates if the machine is optimized for cutting mesh or expanded metal.
  • Estat del ventilador: Shows if the cooling fan is active.
  • Estat anormal: Displays error codes if a malfunction occurs.
  • 110V/220V Status: Indicates the detected input voltage.
  • Mode Selector Button: Used to cycle through different operational modes.
  • Botó d'ajust de corrent: Adjusts the output cutting current.

3.2 Característiques clau

  • Non-High Frequency Start: Utilizes a non-high-frequency blowback start, reducing electromagnetic interference.
  • Non-Touch Pilot Arc: Allows cutting without direct contact between the torch tip and the workpiece, ideal for rusty or painted surfaces, and extends consumable life.
  • Pantalla LED gran: Provides real-time display of air pressure, voltage, and current, along with error codes for easy troubleshooting.
  • Funció 2T/4T: Offers two trigger modes for continuous cutting, reducing operator fatigue.
  • PT/PA Function: Post-Time (PT) cools the torch head, extending consumable life. Pilot Arc (PA) duration can be adjusted for cutting mesh metal.
  • Funcionalitat CNC: Compatible with CNC cutting tables for enhanced precision.

4. Configuració

  1. Desembalatge: Carefully remove the plasma cutter and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
  2. Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the machine to a suitable 110V or 220V AC power source. The machine automatically detects the voltage. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded.
  3. Air Compressor Connection: Connect your air compressor to the air inlet on the plasma cutter. Ensure the air pressure regulator is properly installed and set to the recommended PSI (typically 40-60 PSI for optimal cutting).
  4. Torxa i terra Clamp Connexió: Connect the plasma cutting torch and the ground clamp to their respective terminals on the front panel of the machine. Ensure connections are secure.
  5. Preparació de la peça: Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or other contaminants for best cutting results. Secure the ground clamp firmly to the workpiece or work table, ensuring good electrical contact.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Funcionament bàsic

  1. Encès: Turn on the main power switch located on the rear or front panel. The LED display will illuminate.
  2. Ajustar la pressió de l'aire: Set the air pressure using the regulator to the recommended range (e.g., 40-60 PSI) for the material thickness you intend to cut.
  3. Select Mode (2T/4T): Use the mode selector button to choose between 2T (2-Touch) or 4T (4-Touch) operation.
    • Mode 2T: Press and hold the torch trigger to cut; release to stop.
    • Mode 4T: Press and release the trigger to start cutting; press and release again to stop. This mode is ideal for longer cuts to reduce finger fatigue.
  4. Adjust Cutting Current: Use the current adjustment knob to set the appropriate amperage for your material thickness. Refer to the cutting capacity guidelines below.
  5. Iniciar tall: Position the torch tip approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) above the workpiece. Press the torch trigger to initiate the pilot arc. Once the arc is established, move the torch steadily along the cutting line.
  6. Post-Time (PT) and Pilot Arc (PA) Adjustment: The machine automatically manages PT to cool the torch. For mesh cutting, the PA function can be utilized to maintain the arc across gaps.

5.2 Cutting Capabilities

The HBC45II is capable of cutting various metals including steel, stainless steel, copper, iron, galvanized sheet, and carbon steel.

6. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del vostre tallador de plasma.

  • Consumibles: Regularly inspect and replace worn-out torch consumables (nozzles, electrodes, swirl rings, shield cups). Worn consumables can lead to poor cut quality and damage to the torch.
  • Filtre d'aire: Check and clean or replace the air filter element in the air pressure regulator periodically to ensure clean, dry air supply to the torch. Moisture and oil in the air can severely impact cutting performance and torch life.
  • Neteja: Keep the machine clean and free of dust and metal particles. Use compressed air to blow out internal components if necessary, ensuring the machine is unplugged.
  • Cables i connexions: Inspect all cables and connections for damage or loose fittings before each use.
