• Do not operate the machine in wet conditions.
• Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or changing consumables.
• Keep children and unauthorized personnel away from the operating area.

3. Setup and Installation

The ANDELI CUT-120 is designed for ease of setup due to its built-in air compressor. Only a 200V power supply is required.

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack all components and inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.

3.2 Included Components

• LGK-120 Plasma Cutter Unit
• Plasma Cutting Torch (10m)
• Earth Cable (2m)
• Consumables Set (10 Electrodes, 10 Cups, 2 Connectors)
• Air Regulator (1)
• MMA Holder (3m)

3.3 Electrical Connection

Connect the plasma cutter to a stable 200V power supply. Ensure the power source meets the machine's requirements to prevent damage or performance issues.

3.4 Torch and Earth Clamp Connection

• Connect the plasma cutting torch to the designated port on the front panel.
• Attach the earth cable to the ground terminal on the machine and securely clamp it to the workpiece or work table. A good ground connection is crucial for effective cutting.

3.5 Air Regulator Setup

Although the unit has a built-in compressor, an air regulator is included for fine-tuning air pressure if needed for specific applications or external air supply. Connect the air regulator as per the diagram in the full manual (not provided here).

4. Operating Instructions

The ANDELI CUT-120 utilizes a pilot arc method, allowing for arc start without direct contact with the workpiece.

4.1 Powering On

Turn on the main power switch located on the front panel. The digital display will illuminate.

4.2 Adjusting Cutting Current

Use the current adjustment knob to set the desired cutting amperage based on the material type and thickness. Refer to the cutting chart (not provided here) for recommended settings.

4.3 Cutting Process

• Position the torch nozzle approximately 1-2mm above the workpiece.
• Press the torch trigger to initiate the pilot arc.
• Once the arc transfers to the workpiece, move the torch steadily along the desired cutting line. Maintain a consistent travel speed for optimal cut quality.
• The machine is capable of cutting various metals, including stainless steel, alloy, aluminum, mild steel, and carbon steel.
• With a 200V input, the maximum cutting thickness is 50mm. Mild steel up to 30mm can be cut without significant stress.

4.4 Post-Cutting

Release the torch trigger to stop the arc. Allow the torch to cool down before storing. Disconnect power when finished with operations.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your plasma cutter.

• Consumables Inspection: Regularly check the condition of the electrode, nozzle (cup), and shield cap. Replace worn or damaged consumables promptly to maintain cut quality and prevent torch damage.
• Torch Cleaning: Keep the torch body and nozzle clean from spatter and debris.
• Air Filter/Regulator: If using an external air supply or the included regulator, periodically check and drain any moisture from the air filter.
• General Cleaning: Keep the machine's exterior clean. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and obstructions to prevent overheating.
• Cable Inspection: Inspect all cables (power, torch, earth) for cuts, abrasions, or loose connections before each use.
