• Агаарын хангамж: Ensure the air compressor is properly maintained and provides clean, dry air at the recommended pressure.
• Хүүхдүүд ба ажиглагчид: Хүүхэд болон зөвшөөрөлгүй хүмүүсийг ажлын талбайгаас хол байлга.

3. Бүтээгдэхүүний онцлог

• High Cutting Capacity: The HITBOX HBC65 is a dual-voltage 110V/220V plasma cutter.
  • On 110V: Clean cut up to 5/16" (8 mm), maximum cut up to 19/32" (15 mm).
  • On 220V: Clean cut up to 3/8" (10 mm), maximum cut up to 1" (25 mm).
  It is designed to cut all conductive metals, including carbon steel, iron, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
• Non-Touch Pilot Arc, Non-HF Start: This feature allows for easy cutting of rusty, painted, or dirty metal without direct torch contact. The adjustable pilot arc duration (3–15s; recommended 5–10s manual, 3–5s CNC) improves cut starts, extends consumable life, and reduces interference with nearby electronics or CNC systems.

• 60% Duty Cycle: Provides reliable and stable cutting performance for extended manual or CNC cutting applications.
• Smart Protection & Cooling: Built-in digital air monitoring alerts when air pressure is too high and automatically stops cutting with a warning if air pressure drops below 30 PSI to protect consumables. The intelligent fan activates only during cutting or when the internal temperature reaches 40°C (104°F), reducing noise and extending component lifespan.

• CNC Ready, Easy Control & Portability:
  • 2T/4T Mode: 2T mode offers flexible control, while 4T mode reduces fatigue during long cuts.
  • Adjustable Post-Flow: (2–15s) cools the torch and extends consumable life.
  • CNC Ready: Designed for integration with cutting tables.
  • Зөөврийн чадвар: Weighs only 13.96 lbs, making it easy to transport.
  • Large HD Digital Display: Provides clear and precise operation data.

Follow these steps to set up your HITBOX HBC65 Plasma Cutter:

1. Connect the Plasma Torch:
   • Insert the main connector of the plasma torch into the corresponding socket on the front panel of the machine and tighten it securely.
   • Connect the torch switch cable to the designated port (usually a smaller multi-pin connector).
   • Connect the pilot arc cable to its respective terminal.
2. Дэлхий Cl-г холбоноamp:
   • Дэлхийг хавсаргах clamp кабелийг урд талын самбар дээрх сөрөг (-) терминал руу холбоно.
   • Securely attach the earth clamp to the workpiece or a clean, bare metal part of the cutting table to ensure a good electrical connection.
3. Connect the Air Supply:
   • Attach the air hose to the air inlet on the rear panel of the plasma cutter. Use the provided hose clamps холболтыг аюулгүй болгох.
   • Connect the other end of the air hose to your external air compressor. The plasma cutter requires a stable air pressure of ≥80 PSI and ≥6.36 CFM, with a recommended working range of 50–60 PSI.
   • Ensure the air regulator and filter are properly installed between the compressor and the plasma cutter to provide clean, dry air.
4. Эрчим хүчний холболт:

6. Ашиглалтын заавар

Once the machine is set up, follow these steps for operation:

1. Агаарын даралтыг тохируулах:
   • Turn the knob on the air regulator to set the desired air pressure, typically between 50-60 PSI for optimal cutting. The digital display will show the current air pressure.
2. Зүсэх горимыг сонгох:
   • Use the control panel to select between 2T (Two-Touch) and 4T (Four-Touch) modes based on your cutting needs.
   • 2T mode: Press and hold the torch button to start cutting, release to stop.
   • 4T mode: Press the torch button to start, release to continue cutting, press again to stop. This mode is ideal for longer cuts to reduce hand fatigue.
3. Set Current and Post-Flow:
   • Adjust the cutting current (Amps) using the control knob according to the material thickness and type. Refer to the cutting chart (if provided) for recommended settings.
   • Set the post-flow time (2-15 seconds). Post-flow air cools the torch and consumables after the arc is extinguished, extending their lifespan.
4. Тайралтыг гүйцэтгэнэ үү:
   • Position the torch over the workpiece, ensuring the non-touch pilot arc feature allows for a small gap between the nozzle and the metal.
   • Press the torch button to initiate the pilot arc and begin cutting. Maintain a steady travel speed for a clean cut.
   • For grid cutting, the non-touch pilot arc allows for continuous cutting over gaps.
