4. Connect Gas Hose: Connect the gas hose from your air compressor to the air filter.
5. Connect Cutting Torch: Securely connect the AG60 cutting torch to the non-touch arcing interface on the front panel.
6. Connect Ground Clamp: Attach the ground clamp cable to the ground clamp connector on the front panel. Secure the ground clamp to the workpiece or work table, ensuring good electrical contact.
7. Power Connection: Connect the power cable to a grounded 230V power outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

This section details the operational procedures for the FEIFANKE FKC-750H Plasma Cutter.

6.1 Power On and Initial Settings

1. Turn on the power switch (8) on the rear panel.
2. Adjust the air pressure using the air reducer valve (10) to the recommended range of 40-70 PSI. Monitor the PSI on the digital screen (1).
3. Set the desired cutting current using the current control knob (5). The current will be displayed on the digital screen.

6.2 2T/4T Operating Modes

The machine offers two operating modes for different cutting needs:

• 2T Mode (Semi-Automatic): Ideal for short cuts. Press and hold the torch trigger to start the arc and cut. Release the trigger to stop.
• 4T Mode (Fully Automatic): Suitable for long, continuous cuts. Press and release the torch trigger to start the arc. The arc will remain active until you press and release the trigger again to stop.

Select the desired mode using the operation mode button (6).

6.3 Non-Contact High-Frequency Ignition

The FKC-750H features non-contact high-frequency ignition, allowing for effortless cutting through various surface conditions.

This system ensures an immediate and reliable arc start without physical contact between the torch and the material. This is beneficial for cutting dirty, rusty, or painted surfaces, reducing electrode wear and extending equipment life.

6.4 Post-Flow Function

The post-flow function allows you to set the torch cooling time (post-flow, adjustable from 5 to 20 seconds, with 5-8 seconds recommended). This feature protects the wear parts of the torch and significantly increases their longevity.

7. Cutting Performance

The FKC-750H plasma cutter is designed for powerful and precise cutting of various conductive metals.

• Maximum Cutting Capacity: Up to 25 mm thick materials.
• Suitable Materials: Steel (including rusty or painted surfaces), stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, or titanium.
• Duty Cycle: Reliable 60% duty cycle.

8. Maintenance

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

• Clean Air Filter: Regularly check and clean the air filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent contamination.
• Inspect Consumables: Periodically inspect the cutting nozzle and electrode for wear. Replace them as needed to maintain cutting quality.
• General Cleaning: Keep the machine clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
• Cable Inspection: Check all cables and connections for any signs of damage or wear. Replace damaged components immediately.
