4. Setup and Installation
Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective operation. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 Power Line Connection
The CUT60Y supports dual voltage input (220V/380V). Ensure the correct wiring for your power supply. The machine does not come with a power plug, requiring manual connection.
Figure 4.1: Wiring diagram for single-phase 220V, three-phase 220V, and three-phase 400V connections.
- Single Phase 220V: Connect the blue and brown wires to the live terminals. Connect the green/yellow wire to the ground terminal.
- Three Phase 220V: Connect all three live wires (blue, brown, grey) to the live terminals. Connect the green/yellow wire to the ground terminal.
- Three Phase 380V-400V: Connect all three live wires (blue, brown, grey) to the live terminals. Connect the green/yellow wire to the ground terminal.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure the power is disconnected before making any wiring connections. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.
4.2 Gas Bottle Connection
Connect your gas bottle to the machine's gas inlet. The machine will display a warning if gas pressure is insufficient or absent. Ensure the gas bottle is securely connected and the valve is open before operation.
4.3 Torch and Ground Clamp Connection
Connect the plasma torch and ground clamp to their respective ports on the front panel of the machine. Ensure connections are secure.

5. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the control panel and operating modes before beginning cutting operations.
5.1 Panel Operation
The large digital display allows for easy adjustment of parameters. Use the control knob to navigate and select settings.

5.2 2T/4T Function
The machine offers two torch control modes:
- 2T (Semi-Automatic): Press and hold the torch trigger to start cutting. Release the trigger to stop cutting. This mode is suitable for short cuts or when precise control over arc initiation and termination is needed.
- 4T (Automatic): Press the torch trigger once to start cutting. The arc will remain active even after releasing the trigger. Press the trigger again to stop cutting. This mode is ideal for long, continuous cuts, reducing hand fatigue.
5.3 Post-Flow Adjustment
The post-flow setting controls the duration of gas flow after the arc is extinguished. This helps cool the torch and workpiece, extending consumable life. Adjust this setting using the control knob on the panel.
6. Cutting Capabilities
The ANDELI CUT60Y is capable of cutting various metal types with impressive thickness.
- Maximum Cutting Thickness: Recommended maximum cutting thickness is 30mm at 220V and 35mm at 380V.
