4. Opsætning
4.1 Udpakning og inspektion
Carefully remove the plasma cutter and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
4.2 Elektrisk tilslutning
The HBC65 is a dual-voltage machine. It automatically detects the input voltage (110V or 220V). Ensure the power outlet matches the machine's requirements and is properly grounded. Use the provided plug adaptor if necessary.
- Tilslut netledningen til en passende strømforsyning.
- Ensure the power switch on the machine is in the OFF position before connecting to power.
4.3 Tilslutning af luftkompressor
An external air compressor is required for operation. The compressor must be capable of supplying stable air pressure of at least 80 PSI and an air flow of at least 6.36 CFM. The recommended working pressure is 50-60 PSI.
- Install the included air regulator and filter unit to the air inlet port on the rear of the plasma cutter.
- Connect the air hose from your air compressor to the air regulator's inlet.
- Secure all connections with the provided hose clamps for at forhindre luftlækager.
