WARNING

Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.

Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions when welding and

cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be based on manufacturers' hazard

data.

ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill

SInstall and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards.

SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.

SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

SEnsure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

SKeep your head out of the fumes.

SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone

and the general area.

ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin.

SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

SProtect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

SWarn bystanders of the risk.

MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

WARNING

Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.

CAUTION

Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where

the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.

There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic

compatibility of class A equipment in those locations, due to conducted

as well as radiated disturbances.

CAUTION

This product is solely intended for plasma cutting.

CAUTION

Read and understand the instruction manual before

installing or operating.

Dispose of electronic equipment at the recycling facility!

In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical and/or

electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life must be disposed of at a

recycling facility.

As the person responsible for the equipment, it is your responsibility to obtain

information on approved collection stations.

For further information contact the nearest ESAB dealer.

ESAB can provide you with all necessary cutting protection and accessories.

2 INTRODUCTION

The plasma power source Powercut 1300/1600 and the plasma cutting torch PT-38

are a complete and safe plasma cutting system for manual cutting and gouging. It

delivers cutting power for severing materials up to 45 mm thickness.

ESAB's accessories for the product can be found on page 23.

2.1 Equipment

The power source is supplied with:

Smains cable, 3 m

Sinstruction manual

Sreturn cable incl clamp

Splasma cutting torch, 7.5 m, supplied according to the denomination on page 22.

Mains supply, Zmax

Maximum permissible line impedance of the network in accordance with IEC 61000-3-11.

Duty cycle

The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at

a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40°C.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

4 INSTALLATION

The installation must be carried out by a professional.

Correct installation is very important for trouble-free operation and good cutting

results. Carefully read and follow each step in this chapter.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCKS CAN KILL Take precautionary measures against electric

shocks. Ensure that all power supplies are disconnected –switch off the switch at

the wall socket and pull out the equipment's power cable from the socket before

making any electrical connections in the power source.

WARNING

It is very important that the chassis is connected to the approved electric protective

earth, to prevent electric shocks and electrical accidents. Ensure that protective

earth is not connected to any phase conductors by mistake.

WARNING

Poor connections or failure to connect the return cable to the workpiece can result

in fatal electric shock.

WARNING

Air filter devices may not be used –installation or mounting of any form of air filter

device prevents the cold air flow and causes a risk of overheating. The warranty is

invalidated if any type of air filter is used.

WARNING

Do NOT start the equipment with the cover removed.

Do NOT connect the equipment under tension or when you are holding it or

carrying it.

Do NOT touch any of the torch's parts when the power supply is on.

CAUTION

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may

cause radio interference. It is the user's responsibility to take adequate precautions.

CAUTION

Place the power source at least 3 metres from the cutting area as sparks and slag spray

can damage the power source

4.1 Delivery check and location

1. Remove the packaging. Inspect the equipment for damage that was not

immediately apparent upon reception of the delivery. Immediately report any

damage to the delivery company.

2. Check for any loose parts in the packaging. Check that the air ducts in the

cover's rear panel are not blocked with packaging material that can prevent the

air flow through the power source.

The power source has a lifting eyelet and can be lifted easily. Check that the

lifting equipment that is to be used can withstand the weight of the power source.

The weight is stated in the table TECHNICAL DATA, see chapter 3.

WARNING

The product must be lifted as follows:

3. Position the power source so that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not

obstructed. Minimum permitted distance to wall or other obstruction is 30 cm.

4. An air source that gives clean and dry air, at least 236 l/m at 6.2 bar (90 psig), is

required for cutting. The cutting air pressure must not exceed 10.3 bar

(150 psig), which is the maximum inlet pressure for the filter regulator that is

included in the delivery.
