BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS. FOR ENGINE powered equipment. 1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot. 1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running. ____________________________________________________ 1.b.Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors. ____________________________________________________ 1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated. ____________________________________________________ 1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment. ____________________________________________________ ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous 2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines 2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding. 2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known. 2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit: 1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts. ___________________________________________________ 1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running. ___________________________________________________ 1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate. PRO-CUT 55 2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible. 2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body. 2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side. 2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded. 2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source. ii ii SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. ARC RAYS can burn. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands. 4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards. 3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground. 4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays. In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment: • Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder. • DC Manual (Stick) Welder. • AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. 4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal. FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous. 5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel. 3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”. 3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded. 3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground. 3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation. 3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling. 3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders. 3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock. 3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8. 5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products. 5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe. 5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer. 5.e. Also see item 1.b. PRO-CUT 55 iii iii SAFETY WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. CYLINDER may explode if damaged. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. 6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used. 7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. 7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support. 7.c. Cylinders should be located: • Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. 6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard. 6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above). 6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode. 6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area. 6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail. 6.h. Also see item 1.c. • A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame. 7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder. 7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. 7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use. 7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202. FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment. 8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment. 8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations. 8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations. PRO-CUT 55 iv SAFETY PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes: Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc 1. iv Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique: a. b. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans trous pour isoler les mains. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse. c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonctionnement. d. Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le refroidir. e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le total de la tension à vide des deux machines. 2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais enroule le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie du corps. 3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel, donc: a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou quand on regarde l’arc. b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnementde l’arc. c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables. 4. Des gouttes de laiter en fusion sont émises de l’arc de soudage. Se protéger avec es vêtements de protection libres de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes. 5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les zones où l’on pique le laitier. 6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prévenir ttout risque d’incendie dû étincelles. 7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un échauffement et un risque d’incendie. 8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de la faire. Si on place la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou atres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent. 9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage. Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui produit des fumées toxiques. 10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant d’opéerations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement roxique) ou autres produits irritants. PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR LES MACHINES À SOUDER À TRANSFORMATEUR ET À REDRESSEUR 1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une bonne mise à la terre. 2. Autant que possible, l’installation et l’entretien du poste seront effectués par un électricien qualifié. 3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles. 4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispostifis de sûreté à leur place.

LIFTING AND MOVING WARNING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury. WARNING • Do not use the pull handle on the optional undercarriage, if installed, to lift the machine. This handle is not designed to support the full weight of the machine. Using it to lift the machine could cause personal injury or damage to the machine. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box and discharge input capacitors before working inside the equipment. • Do not touch electrically hot parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing. • Always connect the 55 grounding terminal (located on the side of the Case Back Assembly) to a good electrical earth ground. • Always wear dry, insulating gloves. • Turn the 55 Power Switch OFF when connecting power cord to input power. Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment. SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION Place the Pro-Cut 55 where clean cool air can freely circulate in through the rear louvers and out through the front/bottom opening. Dirt, dust or any foreign material that can be drawn into the machine should be kept at a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shutdown of the machine. A source of clean, dry air or nitrogen must be supplied to the Pro-Cut 55. Oil in the air is a severe problem and must be avoided. The supply pressure must be between 80 and 150 psi. The flow rate is approximately 6.0 cfm (170 l/min.). Failure to observe these precautions could result in excessive operating temperatures or damage to the torch. STACKING The Pro-Cut 55 cannot be stacked. • Either the front or rear handles or both may be used to lift or move the machine. TILTING The Pro-Cut 55 must be placed on a stable, level surface so it will not topple over. HIGH FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE PROTECTION The Pro-Cut 55 employs a touch start mechanism for arc initiation. This eliminates high frequency emissions from the machine as compared with spark gap and solid state type high frequency generators. Keep in mind, though, that these machines may be used in an environment where other high frequency generating machines are operating. By taking the following steps, you can minimize high frequency interference. • Make sure the power supply chassis is connected to a good earth ground. The work terminal ground does NOT ground the machine frame. • Keep the work ground clamp isolated from other work clamps that have high frequency. • If the ground clamp cannot be isolated, then keep the clamp as far as possible from other work clamp connections. • When the machine is enclosed in a metal building, several good earth driven electrical grounds around the periphery of the building are recommended. Failure to observe these recommended installation procedures may cause improper function of the ProCut or possibly even damage the control system or power supply components. A-5 INSTALLATION INPUT CONNECTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Have a qualified electrician install and service this equipment. • Turn the input power off at the fuse box before working on this equipment. A-5 GROUND CONNECTION The frame of the Pro-Cut 55 must be properly grounded. A ground terminal marked with the symbol is mounted on the case bottom directly behind the input power switch for this purpose. The ground lead of the input power cord that is attached to the machine must be connected to this ground terminal. See the National Electric Code for details on proper grounding methods. Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. • Do not touch electrically hot parts. Before installing the machine, check that input supply voltage, phase, and frequency are the same as the machine’s voltage, phase, and frequency as specified on the machine’s rating plate. See Figure A.1. FIGURE A.1 – RATING PLATE LOCATION INPUT POWER CORD CONNECTOR INSTALLATION The Pro-Cut 55 is supplied with one 11 foot (3.35m) #8 AWG 3 lead input power cord already connected to the machine. A cord connector provides a strain relief for the input power cord as it passes through the left rear access hole. The cord connector is designed for a cord diameter of .40 - 1.03 in (10.2 - 26.2mm) if it becomes necessary to install a different input cord. See Figure A.1. For three phase connection: Replace the input power cord with a #10 AWG 4 lead cable. 1 Connect the leads of the cable to a fused power panel. Make sure the green lead is connected to the panel and the panel is connected to a good earth ground. Install in accordance with all local and national electric codes. INPUT WIRE AND FUSE SIZE 2 3 1. CASE BACK 2. RATING PLATE 3. POWER CORD CONNECTOR WITH STRAIN RELIEF The Pro-Cut 55 should be connected only by a qualified electrician. Installation should be made in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical Code, all local codes, and the information detailed below. Fuse the input circuit with the super lag fuses or delay type circuit breakers recommended on the Technical Specifications page. Choose an input and grounding wire size according to local or national codes; also see the Technical Specifications page. Using fuses or circuit breakers smaller than recommended may result in “nuisance” shut-offs from inrush currents, even if you are not cutting at high currents. A-6 A-6 INSTALLATION RECONNECT PROCEDURE When received directly from the factory, the machines are internally connected for 230 VAC. Reconnection will be necessary if a higher input voltage is used.

The pilot arc is capable of burning the operator, others, or even piercing safety clothing. Observe additional Safety Guidelines detailed in the beginning of this manual. PRO-CUT 55 B-2 B-3 OPERATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Pro-Cut 55 is an inverter based constant current, continuous control plasma cutting power source. It provides superior and reliable starting characteristics, cutting visibility and arc stability. When cutting expanded metal, the Pro-Cut 55 out-performs the competition due to its quick, clean response to arc transfers. The power supply design provides high transfer-to-cut distances, which makes pierce cutting more reliable with less nozzle wear. The control system has a safety mechanism to insure that the nozzle and electrode are in place before cutting or gouging. This is extremely important due to the high voltages involved. The Pro-Cut 55 comes standard with an air regulator, coarse air filter, and pressure gauge. The machine also comes with an 11 foot (3.35m) input power cord. There are four different torch and cable systems to choose from: hand-held torch with 25 foot (7.62m) or 50 foot (15.24m) cable, machine and robotic torch both with 25 foot (7.62m) and 50 foot (15.24m) cable. Consumables are included with each Pro-Cut purchase so that cutting can begin right out of the box. Consumables can also be ordered as individual packages. An undercarriage kit can be ordered separately. The Pro-Cut 55 initiates the plasma arc with a simple, yet reliable, touch-start mechanism. This system eliminates many of the failure problems associated with hifrequency start systems. The Pro-Cut 55 is capable of cutting with nitrogen or air. The Pro-Cut 55 is controlled by a microprocessorbased control board. The machine performs rudimentary self troubleshooting when powered up, which aids in field servicing. B-3 DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES The microprocessor controlled Pro-Cut 55 design makes plasma cutting and gouging tasks uncomplicated. This list of design features and advantages will help you understand the machine's total capabilities so that you can get maximum use from your machine. • Light weight and portable design for industrial use. • Continuous control, 25 - 55 amps. • Reliable touch start mechanism for plasma arc initiation. • Unique microprocessor controlled starting sequence for safe and consistent starting. • Rapid arc transfer for fast cutting of expanded metal. • High transfer distance for ease of use. • Input overvoltage protection. • 3.0 second pilot arc. • Purge momentary push button. • Air regulator and pressure gauge located on the front of machine for convenience. • ”Parts-in-Place” mechanism to detect proper installation of consumables and torch. • Automatic detection of faulty output control. • In-line coarse air filter. • Preflow/Postflow timing.

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT • Works with pure nitrogen for cutting nonferrous materials. The Pro-Cut 55 is capable of all cutting and gouging applications within its output capacity of 25 to 55 amps. These applications include thin gage sheet metal and expanded metal. • Reconnectable for 230 VAC or 460 VAC inputs. • Quick disconnect torch. • Display indicators for machine status. • Unique electrode and Vortech™ nozzle design for optimum cooling and long life. OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND CONTROLS The Pro-Cut 55 comes with an ON/OFF POWER SWITCH, OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL, PURGE BUTTON, STATUS INDICATORS and a SAFETY RESET BUTTON. See Figure B.2 and related discussion. • Swirl texture inside Vortech™ nozzle for better starting reliability and higher quality cuts. • Unique drag cup design for durability and elimination of double arcing. B-4 B-4 OPERATION CUTTING CAPABILITY The Pro-Cut 55 is rated at 55 amps, at 50% duty cycle on a 10 minute basis or 40 amps, at 100% duty cycle. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output of the machine until it cools to the normal operating temperature. Figure B.1 shows the cut capacity of the Pro-Cut 55 when cutting mild steel. The graph plots cut thickness vs. torch travel speed with a torch standoff of 0.15 in. (3.8mm). Example: 0.25 material Amps Speed (IPM) 35 45 55 38 57 62 FIGURE B.1 – LINCOLN’S PRO-CUT 55 MILD STEEL CUT CAPACITY CHART Recommended Torch Travel Speed (IPM) 80% of Maximum Speed 100 80 60 40 20 25 A 0 0.000 0.125 35 A 0.250 0.375 0.500 Material Thickness 45 A 0.625 55 A 0.750 CONSUMABLE LIFE LIMITATIONS The expected life for the Pro-Cut 55's electrode under normal operating conditions is approximately 320 starts/cuts. An erosion of .060 in. (1.5mm) is typical for end of electrode life. However, the electrode may last longer. A green and erratic arc will indicate definite electrode failure, and the electrode should be replaced immediately. Do not exceed output current and duty cycle rating of machine. Do not use the Pro-Cut 55 for pipe thawing. It is recommended that consumables be replaced in complete sets. (Example: Electrode and Nozzle). This will maximize the performance of the Pro-Cut 55 system. B-5 OPERATION B-5 CONTROLS AND SETTINGS PILOT ARC CONSIDERATIONS FIGURE B.2 - CASE FRONT CONTROLS The Pro-Cut has a smooth, continuous pilot arc. The pilot arc is only a means of transferring the arc to the workpiece for cutting. Repeated pilot arc starts, in rapid succession, is not recommended as these starts will generally reduce consumable life. Occasionally, the pilot arc may sputter or start intermittently. This is aggravated when the consumables are worn or the air pressure is too high. Always keep in mind that the pilot arc is designed to transfer the arc to the workpiece and not for numerous starts without cutting. 9 8 7 6 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 5 1 PRO-CUT 55 When the pilot arc is started, a slight impulse will be felt in the torch handle. This occurrence is normal and is the mechanism which starts the plasma arc. This impulse can also be used to help troubleshoot a "no start" condition. OFF 2 4 3 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL KNOB TORCH CONNECTOR WORK CABLE INPUT POWER SWITCH GAS REGULATOR KNOB GAS REGULATOR GAUGE GAS PURGE BUTTON RESET BUTTON STATUS (DISPLAY) BOARD INDICATORS CUTTING OPERATION When preparing to cut or gouge, position the machine as close to the work as possible. Make sure you have all materials needed to complete the job and have taken all safety precautions. It is important to follow these operating steps each time you use the machine. 1. OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL KNOB - Adjusts the amount of cutting current applied. Affects cutting speed, dross formation, cut width, heat zone and travel speed. 2. TORCH CONNECTOR - Quick-connect type coupling for the PCT 80 cutting torch. 3. WORK CABLE - Provides clamp and cable connection to workpiece. 4. ON/OFF POWER SWITCH - Turns machine on or off. 5. GAS REGULATOR KNOB - Adjusts compressed gas pressure delivered to the torch. Length of torch hose is an adjustment factor. Optimum setting is 70-75 psi. The gas purge button must be pressed in to set pressure. 6. GAS REGULATOR GAUGE - Provides gas pressure reading as set by the gas regulator knob. 7. GAS PURGE BUTTON - Used to check or set gas pressure. Push in and hold to check pressure, then continue to hold to set the pressure. Shuts off gas when released. 8. RESET BUTTON - Used to reset the machine following a safety circuit trip. 9. STATUS (DISPLAY) BOARD INDICATORS - Four lights indicating Power, Gas Low, Thermal and Safety. • Turn the machine's ON/OFF POWER SWITCH to the OFF position. • Connect the air supply to the machine. • Turn the main power and the machine power switch on. - The fan should start. - The pre-charge circuit will operate for 3 seconds, then the green "Power" status indicator should turn on. - If the "SAFETY" status indicator is lit, push the "Reset" button. If there is no problem, the status indicator will go off. If there is a problem, refer to "STATUS INDICATOR" in this section. • Be sure that the work lead is clamped to the workpiece before cutting. • Set the output current control knob for maximum current for high cutting speed and less dross formation per Figure B.1. Reduce the current, if desired, to reduce the kerf (cut) width, heat affected zone or travel speed as required. • Push-in and hold the Purge button to check or set the gas pressure. Pull the pressure regulator cap out and turn it to set the pressure. - Adjust the gas regulator for 70 PSI for 25 foot (7.62m) torches or 75 PSI for 50 foot (15.24m) torches. - Release the Purge button. PRO-CUT 55 B-6 B-6 OPERATION - The gas will immediately turn off. The pressure gauge may show an increase in pressure after the air turns off, but this is normal. Do NOT reset the pressure while the air is NOT flowing. • When ready to cut, place the torch near the work, make certain all safety precautions have been taken and pull the trigger. - The air will flow for a preflow time of 2 seconds and the pilot arc will start. (This is true unless the machine is in postflow, then the preflow time is skipped and the pilot arc will start immediately.) - The pilot arc will run for 3 seconds and shut off unless the arc is brought in contact with the work and the arc is transferred. Avoid excessive pilot arc time by transferring the arc to the workpiece quickly to improve parts life. - When the arc is brought within 1/4 in. (6.4mm) from the workpiece the arc will transfer, the current will ramp up to the setting on the control panel, and the cut can last indefinitely (or until the duty cycle of the Pro-Cut is exceeded). Do not touch the nozzle to the work when cutting. Damage to the consumables may result. • Pierce the workpiece by slowly lowering the torch onto the metal at a 30° angle away from the operator. This will blow the dross away from the torch tip. Slowly rotate the torch to vertical position as the arc becomes deeper. TORCH AT 300 ANGLE TO PIERCE 5° - 15° Leading Angle Direction of Travel 10° - 20° Arc Lag • Finish the cut to be made and release the trigger. • When the trigger is released, the arc will stop. - The gas will continue to flow for 10 seconds of postflow. If the trigger is activated within this time period, the pilot arc will immediately restart. • If the dross is difficult to remove, reduce the cutting speed. High speed dross is more difficult to remove than low speed dross. • The right side of the cut is more square than the left as viewed along the direction of travel. • Clean spatter and scale from the nozzle and drag cup frequently. • For gouging, tilt the torch about 45° from the workpiece and hold the nozzle 1/8 in. (3.2mm) to 3/16” (4.7mm) above the workpiece. ANGLE OF APPROACH ROTATE TO 0 90 ANGLE TO CUT 300 900 VERTICAL ANGLE VERTICAL FOR CUTTING TORCH HELD AT 450 ANGLE THROUGHOUT GOUGE CUT • Hold the nozzle standoff 1/8 in. (3.2mm) to 3/16 in. (4.7mm) above the workpiece during cutting. Do not let the torch nozzle touch the work or carry a long arc. • Keep moving while cutting. Cut at a steady speed without pausing. Maintain the cutting speed so that the arc lag is 10° to 20° behind the travel direction. • Use a 5° - 15° leading angle in the direction of the cut. • Use the drag cup to maintain constant standoff for better cut quality and to protect the nozzle from spatter. • Use the drag cup with a metal template to prevent nozzle double arcing. ANGLE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT GOUGE SAFETY STATUS INDICATOR • If the "SAFETY" status indicators light at any time, check the following: - Check the assembly of the torch consumables. If they are not properly in place, the machine will not start. Make sure that the shield cup is hand tight. Do not use pliers or overtighten. B-7 B-7 OPERATION WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Turn off machine at the disconnect switch on the front of the machine before tightening, cleaning or replacing consumables. - Check the conditions of the inside of the nozzle. If debris has collected, rub the electrode on the inside bottom of the nozzle to remove any oxide layer that may have built up. Refer to “Suggestions for Extra Utility from the Pro-Cut System.” - Check the condition of the electrode. If the end has a crater-like appearance, replace it along with the nozzle. The maximum wear depth of the electrode is approximately .062 in. (1.6mm). A green and erratic arc will indicate definite electrode failure. The electrode should be replaced immediately. • Replace the nozzle when the orifice exit is eroded away or oval shaped. • After the problem is found, or if there is nothing apparently wrong, reset the machine by pressing the "Reset" button. (It is possible for electrical noise to trip the safety circuit on rare occasions. This should not be a regular occurrence.) • If the machine does not reset or continues to trip, consult the Troubleshooting Section. • Use the proper cutting or gouging procedures referred to in “Procedure Recommendations” below. PREHEAT TEMPERATURE FOR PLASMA CUTTING Preheat temperature control is not necessary in most applications when plasma arc cutting or gouging. Preheat temperature control may be necessary on high carbon alloy steels and heat treated aluminum for crack resistance and hardness control. Job conditions, prevailing codes, alloy level, and other considerations may also require preheat temperature control. The recommended minimum preheat temperature for plate thickness up to 1/2 in. (12.7mm) is 70°F (21.1°C). Higher temperatures may be used as required by the job conditions and/or prevailing codes. If cracking or excessive hardness occurs on the cut face, higher preheat temperature may be required. PROCEDURE RECOMMENDATIONS When properly used, plasma arc cutting or gouging is a very economical process. Improper use will result in a very high operating cost. GENERAL - IN ALL CASES • Follow safety precautions as printed throughout this manual and on the machine.

Range USER RESPONSIBILITY Because design, fabrication, erection and cutting variables affect results, the serviceability of a product or structure is the responsibility of the user. Variation such as plate chemistry, plate surface condition (oil, scale), plate thickness, preheat, quench, gas type, gas flow rate and equipment may produce results different from those expected. Some adjustments to procedures may be necessary to compensate for unique individual conditions. Test all procedures duplicating actual field conditions. Output set below mid-range. • The nozzle may be dragged on the metal surface, touching it lightly to the surface after piercing a hole. Current control should be set below the mid-range. • Do not allow cable or body to contact hot surface. B-8 OPERATION THICK SECTIONS OF METAL Torch Standoff Machine Output Setting 1/8" thru 3/16" Standoff Output Setting Mid. thru Max. Range Output set above mid-range. • The best quality and consumable life will be obtained by holding the torch off the surface about 3/16 in. (4.7mm). Too long an arc may compromise cut quality and consumable life. The nozzle should NOT be dragged on the work. • Use of the S22151 Drag Cup will maintain the proper standoff. The only time not to use the drag cup when the output control is set above mid-range is in special, tight corners. Always hold at least a 1/8 in. (3.2mm) standoff in those situations. • If piercing is required, slowly lower the torch at an angle of about 30° to blow the dross away from the torch tip and slowly rotate the torch to a vertical position as the arc becomes deeper. This process will blow a lot of molten metal and dross. Be careful! Blow the dross away from the torch, the operator and any flammable objects. • Where possible, start the cut from the edge of the workpiece. • Keep moving! A steady speed is necessary. Do not pause. • Do not allow the torch cable or body to contact a hot surface. SUGGESTIONS FOR EXTRA UTILITY FROM THE PRO-CUT SYSTEM WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Turn off machine at the disconnect switch on the front of the machine before tightening, cleaning or replacing consumables. B-8 1. Occasionally an oxide layer may form over the tip of the electrode, creating an insulating barrier between the electrode and nozzle. This will result in the tripping of the Pro-Cut's safety circuit. When this happens, turn the power off, remove the nozzle and electrode and use the electrode to rub against the inside bottom surface of the nozzle. This will help remove any oxide buildup. Replace the nozzle, turn on the power and continue cutting. If the Parts-in-Place circuit (safety status indicator light) continues to trip after cleaning the consumables, replace them with a new set. Do not continue to cut with excessively worn consumables as this can cause damage to the torch head and will degrade cut quality. 2. To improve consumable life, here are some suggestions that may be useful: a. Never drag the nozzle on the work surface if the output control knob is above the midrange setting. b. Make sure the air supply to the Pro-Cut is clean and free of oil. Use several extra in-line filters if necessary. c. Use the lowest output setting possible to make a good quality cut at the desired cut speed. d. Minimize dross buildup on the nozzle tip by starting the cut from the edge of the plate when possible. e. Pierce cutting should be done only when necessary. If piercing, angle the torch about 30° from the plane perpendicular to the workpiece, transfer the arc, then bring the torch perpendicular to the work and begin parallel movement. f. Reduce the number of pilot arc starts without transferring to the work. g. Reduce the pilot arc time before transferring to the work. h. Set air pressure to recommended setting. A higher or lower pressure will cause turbulence in the plasma arc, eroding the orifice of the nozzle tip. i. Use only Lincoln consumable parts. These parts are patented. Using any other replacement consumables may cause damage to the torch or reduce cut quality.

Obtain a high resistance and high wattage resistor (25-1000 ohms and 25 watts minimum). This resistor is not supplied with machine. NEVER USE A SHORTING STRAP FOR THIS PROCEDURE. WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 5. Locate the two capacitor terminals (large hex head cap screws) on the top and bottom of the Power Board shown in Figure D.1. • Have an electrician install and service this equipment. • Turn the input power off at the fuse box before working on equipment. 6. Use electrically insulated gloves and insulated pliers. Hold the body of the resistor and connect resistor leads across the two capacitor terminals. Hold the resistor in place for 10 seconds. DO NOT TOUCH CAPACITOR TERMINALS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. • Do not touch electrically hot parts. • Prior to performing preventative maintenance, perform the following capacitor discharge procedure to avoid electric shock. 7. Repeat the discharge procedure for the other capacitor. INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR DISCHARGE PROCEDURE 8. Check voltage across the terminals of all capacitors with a DC voltmeter. Polarity of capacitor terminals is marked on the Power Board above terminals. Voltage should be zero. If any voltage remains, repeat this capacitor discharge procedure. 1. Turn off input power or disconnect input power lines. 2. Remove the 5/16 in. hex head screws from the side and top of the machine and remove wrap-around machine cover. 3. Be careful not to make contact with the capacitor terminals that are located on the top and bottom of the Power Board on the right side of the machine. FIGURE D.1 — LOCATION OF INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR TERMINALS POWER BOARD UPPER CAPACITOR TERMINALS LOWER CAPACITOR TERMINALS POWER RESISTOR RIGHT SIDE OF MACHINE INSULATED GLOVES INSULATED PLIERS D-3 D-3 MAINTENANCE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 1. Keep the cutting or gouging area and the area around the machine clean and free of combustible materials. No debris should be allowed to collect which could obstruct air flow to the machine. WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 2. Every 6 months or so, the machine should be cleaned with a low pressure airstream. Keeping the machine clean will result in cooler operation and higher reliability. Be sure to clean these areas (Refer to Figure D.2): - Power, Output and Control printed circuit boards and heat sinks • Turn off machine at the disconnect switch on the front of the machine before tightening, cleaning or replacing consumables. Change consumables as required. - Power Switch 1. Thermal Protection - Main Transformer - Input Rectifier 3. Examine the sheet metal case for dents or breakage. Repair the case as required. Keep the case in good condition to insure that high voltage parts are protected and correct spacings are maintained. All external sheet metal screws must be in place to insure case strength and electrical ground continuity. 4. Check the air regulator filter to be sure it does not become clogged. The air filter on the machine is self draining and will not have to be emptied. 5. Check the filter element every several months to see if it is clogged (weekly in very dirty environments). Replace if necessary by first removing the two screws that attach the filter cage to the back panel assembly, then slide the cage away from the back of the machine and remove. Next, twist the clear filter bowl until it comes off (be careful not to lose the o-ring seated at the top of the bowl threads). Unscrew the filter element and replace with new element. Assemble parts in reverse order as described above. 6. Inspect the cable periodically for any slits or puncture marks in the cable jacket. Replace if necessary. Check to make sure that nothing is crushing the cable and blocking the flow of air through the air tube inside. Also, check for kinks in the cable periodically and relieve any so as not to restrict the flow of air to the torch. Two thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may be caused by a lack of cooling air or by operating the machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If excessive operating temperatures should occur, the yellow thermal LED will light and the thermostat will prevent output voltage or current. Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operating normally, the Power Switch may be left on and the reset should occur within a 15 minute period. If the fan is not turning or the air intake louvers were obstructed, then the power must be switched off and the fan problem or air obstruction must be corrected. 2. Filter Capacitor Conditioning (Pro-Cut 55, 400-460 VAC only) A protection circuit is included to monitor the voltage across filter capacitors C1 and C2. In the event that the capacitor voltage is too high, the protection circuit will prevent output. The protection circuit may prevent output providing all these circumstances are met: a. Machine is connected for 400-460 VAC input. b. Machine did not have power applied for many months. c. Machine will not produce output when power is first switched on. If these circumstances apply, the proper action is to switch the machine on and let it idle for up to 30 minutes. This is required to condition the filter capacitors after an extended storage time. The protection circuit will automatically reset once the capacitor conditioning and resultant voltage levels are acceptable. It may be necessary to turn the power switch off and back on again after this period. PRO-CUT 55 D-4 D-4 Maintenance FIGURE D.2 – MAJOR COMPONENT LOCATIONS 1. Machine Base 2. Case Front 3.

The inverter based power supply design is controlled by a microprocessor control board. The control system has a safety mechanism to insure that the nozzle and electrode are in place before cutting or gouging. The Pro-Cut 55 initiates the plasma arc with a simple, yet reliable, touch start mechanism. This system eliminates many of the problems associated with hi-frequency type start systems. INPUT LINE VOLTAGE, CONTACTOR AND MAIN TRANSFORMER The single-phase or three-phase input power of 200230 or 400 to 460 volts AC is connected to the machine, via an input line cord, to a switch located on the front panel. A reconnect panel and voltage range switch allow the user to configure the machine for either a low or high input voltage and also connect the auxiliary transformer for the appropriate input voltage. The auxiliary transformer develops the appropriate AC voltages to operate the cooling fans, the control board and the plasma output board.

The resultant DC voltage is applied, through the reconnect switch, to the power board. The power board contains precharging circuitry for the safe charging of the input filter capacitors. Once the capacitors are precharged and balanced the control board activates the CR1 input relay. This connects full input power to the filter capacitors. When the filter capacitors are fully charged they act as power supplies for the IGBT switching circuit. The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors supply the main transformer primary winding with DC current flow. See IGBT Operation discussion and diagrams in this section. The power board also monitors the filter capacitors for voltage balance and under or overvoltage. If either should occur, the appropriate signal is sent to the control board to deactivate the CR1 input relay. The machine output will also be disabled.

Each assembly feeds a separate, oppositely wound primary winding of the main transformer. The reverse direction of current flow through the main transformer primaries and the offset timing of the IGBT pairs induce an AC square wave output signal at the secondary of the main transformer. The DC current flow through each primary winding is redirected or "clamped" back to each respective filter capacitor when the IGBTs are turned off. This is needed due to the inductance of the transformer primary winding. The primary currents also pass through the current transformer, which sends a signal to the control board. If the primary currents are not equal, the control board compensates by adjusting the IGBT gate signals. The firing of both IGBT pairs occurs during halves of the 50 microsecond intervals, creating a constant 20KHZ output. The secondary portion of the main transformer is made up of two separate windings. One secondary winding supplies the electrode-to-work voltage. This is the high current winding, which is capable of supplying maximum output current during the cutting process. The other secondary winding supplies the electrodeto-nozzle voltage for the pilot arc current. The conductor in this winding is smaller since the pilot current is considerably less than the cutting current. While one winding is conducting the other winding is at a limited voltage and aids in the arc transfer to and from the workpiece.

The cutting and pilot rectifier diodes are also incorporated in the output board. There are two diodes for each of the secondary windings. There are two P.C. board mounted current sensors. One sensor regulates pilot and cutting current. The other sensor indicates to the control board when and how much current transfers to the workpiece. The output board also includes the trigger circuitry, the gas solenoid driver, the electrode solenoid driver and the torch parts-in-place circuitry. The output choke, which is in series with both the pilot circuit and the cutting circuit, provides current filtering to enhance arc stability. The PCT 80 torch uses a patented touch start mechanism that provides superior starting performance over other touch start systems. The torch head consists of 3 major parts: torch body, insulator and piston. The insulator provides an electrical barrier between the piston and torch body. The piston provides a path for electrical current to the electrode. The piston also drives the electrode to the nozzle for arc initiation. The torch body contains the main torch components: the trigger, pilot arc, cutting arc, and air flow systems are included. A copper nozzle with a patented internal swirl is used to focus the arc. A small, precise hole in the end of the nozzle constricts the arc and increases the current density. As the air enters the torch head, it is directed between the electrode and nozzle for maximum electrode cooling. A portion of the cooling air exits the chamber through vents in the side of the nozzle. A swirl texture located inside the bottom of the nozzle increases the plenum air swirl strength, and improves arc start reliability and partsin-place verification. Plasma arc initiation occurs as follows: First, in the idle state, a spring inside the torch head pushes the piston and electrode forward to make continuity with the nozzle. When the trigger is pulled, air flow begins and creates enough back force on the electrode to overcome the force of the spring. However, the solenoid valve allows enough forward force on the piston to maintain continuity between the consumables. After this continuity has been verified by the Pro-Cut’s parts-in-place circuit, output current is established and regulated. Once the current stabilizes, the solenoid valve turns off, removing the forward force on the piston. The back pressure drives the piston and electrode away from the nozzle, creating the plasma arc. The air stream forces the arc out the orifice of the nozzle. This appears as a pilot arc, which can then be transferred for cutting.

The processor interprets these signals, makes decisions and changes machine mode and output to satisfy the requirements as defined by the internal software. The control board regulates the output of the machine by controlling the IGBT switching times through pulse width modulation circuitry. See Pulse Width Modulation in this section. The display board receives commands from the control board and, via indicator lights, communicates ProCut 55 status and operating conditions to the user. E-7 THEORY OF OPERATION E-7 PROTECTION CIRCUITS THERMAL PROTECTION Protection circuits are designed into the Pro-Cut 55 machine to sense trouble and shut down the machine before the trouble damages internal machine components. Both overload and thermal protection circuits are included. Two thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. One thermostat is located on the output choke and the other on the power board IGBT heat sink. Excessive temperatures may be caused by a lack of cooling air or by operating the machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If excessive operating temperatures should occur, the thermal status indicator will light and the thermostat will prevent output voltage or current. OVERLOAD PROTECTION The Pro-Cut 55 is electrically protected from producing higher than normal output currents. If the output current exceeds 50-60 amps, an electronic protection circuit limits the current to within the capabilities of the machine. Another protection circuit monitors the voltage across the input filter capacitors. If the filter capacitor voltage is too high, too low or not balanced the protection circuit may prevent machine output. Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fans are operating normally, the power switch may be left on and the reset should occur within a 15 minute period. If the fan or fans are not turning or the air intake louvers are obstructed, the input power must be removed and the fan problem or air obstruction must be corrected. E-8 E-8 THEORY OF OPERATION INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR (IGBT) OPERATION An IGBT is a type of transistor. IGBTs are semiconductors well suited for high frequency switching and high current applications. Drawing A shows an IGBT in a passive mode. There is no gate signal, zero volts relative to the source, and therefore, no current flow. The drain terminal of the IGBT may be connected to a voltage supply; but since there is no conduction the circuit will not supply current to components connected to the source. The circuit is turned off like a light switch in the OFF position. Drawing B shows the IGBT in an active mode. When the gate signal, a positive DC voltage relative to the source, is applied to the gate terminal of the IGBT, it is capable of conducting current. A voltage supply connected to the drain terminal will allow the IGBT to conduct and supply current to circuit components coupled to the source. Current will flow through the conducting IGBT to downstream components as long as the positive gate signal is present. This is similar to turning ON a light switch.

PASSIVE DRAIN B. ACTIVE E-9 THEORY OF OPERATION PULSE WIDTH MODULATION The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION describes how much time is devoted to conduction in the positive and negative portions of the cycle. Changing the pulse width is known as MODULATION. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the varying of the pulse width over the allowed range of a cycle to affect the output of the machine. MINIMUM OUTPUT By controlling the duration of the gate signal, the IGBT is turned on and off for different durations during a cycle. The top drawing below shows the minimum output signal possible over a 50-microsecond time period. 1 E-9 The positive portion of the signal represents one IGBT group1 conducting for 1 microsecond. The negative portion is the other IGBT group1. The dwell time (off time) is 48 microseconds (both IGBT groups off). Since only 2 microseconds of the 50-microsecond time period is devoted to conducting, the output power is minimized. MAXIMUM OUTPUT By holding the gate signals on for 22 microseconds each and allowing only 3 microseconds of dwell time (off time) during the 50-microsecond cycle, the output is maximized. The darkened area under the top curve can be compared to the area under the bottom curve. The more dark area under the curve, the more power is present. An IGBT group consists of two IGBT modules feeding one transformer primary winding.

Have an electrician install and service this equipment. Turn the machine OFF before working on equipment. Do not touch electrically hot parts. Sometimes machine failures appear to be due to PC board failures. These problems can sometimes be traced to poor electrical connections. To avoid problems when troubleshooting and replacing PC boards, please use the following procedure: • Remove the PC Board from the static-shielding bag and place it directly into the equipment. Don’t set the PC Board on or near paper, plastic or cloth which could have a static charge. If the PC Board can’t be installed immediately, put it back in the staticshielding bag. • If the PC Board uses protective shorting jumpers, don’t remove them until installation is complete. • If you return a PC Board to The Lincoln Electric Company for credit, it must be in the static-shielding bag. This will prevent further damage and allow proper failure analysis. 4. Test the machine to determine if the failure symptom has been corrected by the replacement PC board. 1. Determine to the best of your technical ability that the PC board is the most likely component causing the failure symptom. NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so that all electrical components can reach their operating temperature. 2. Check for loose connections at the PC board to assure that the PC board is properly connected. 5. Remove the replacement PC board and substitute it with the original PC board to recreate the original problem. 3. If the problem persists, replace the suspect PC board using standard practices to avoid static electrical damage and electrical shock. Read the warning inside the static resistant bag and perform the following procedures: PC Board can be damaged by static electricity. ATTENTION Static-Sensitive Devices Handle only at Static-Safe Workstations Reusable Container Do Not Destroy • Remove your body’s static charge before opening the static-shielding bag. Wear an anti-static wrist strap. For safety, use a 1 Meg ohm resistive cord connected to a grounded part of the equipment frame. • If you don’t have a wrist strap, touch an unpainted, grounded, part of the equipment frame. Keep touching the frame to prevent static build-up. Be sure not to touch any electrically live parts at the same time. • Tools which come in contact with the PC Board must be either conductive, anti-static or static-dissipative. a. If the original problem does not reappear by substituting the original board, then the PC board was not the problem. Continue to look for bad connections in the control wiring harness, junction blocks, and terminal strips. b. If the original problem is recreated by the substitution of the original board, then the PC board was the problem. Reinstall the replacement PC board and test the machine. 6. Always indicate that this procedure was followed when warranty reports are to be submitted. NOTE: Following this procedure and writing on the warranty report, “INSTALLED AND SWITCHED PC BOARDS TO VERIFY PROBLEM,” will help avoid denial of legitimate PC board warranty claims.
