2. Saugos priemonės
Operating welding and cutting equipment can be hazardous if proper safety measures are not followed. Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Read and understand all safety warnings before operating the machine.
- Elektros šokas: Welding and cutting circuits are electrically live. Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, insulating gloves and clothing. Ensure your work area is dry and free of standing water.
- Dūmai ir dujos: Welding and cutting produce fumes and gases that can be hazardous to your health. Work in a well-ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation or a respirator if ventilation is poor.
- Arc Rays and Sparks: Arc rays can burn eyes and skin. Wear a welding helmet with appropriate shade filter, safety glasses, and protective clothing. Sparks and hot metal can cause fires. Keep flammable materials away from the work area.
- Gaisras ir sprogimas: Hot metal and sparks can cause fires. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. Do not weld or cut near flammable materials, containers, or pipes that have held flammable substances.
- Suslėgtų dujų balionai: Handle gas cylinders with care. Secure them properly to prevent falling. Use only the correct gas for the application.
- Judančios dalys: Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts such as cooling fans.

5. Veikimo režimai
The CT520 offers three primary operating modes: Plasma Cutting (CUT), Pulse TIG Welding, and Electrode Stick ARC Welding (MMA).

5.1 pav. Baigtaview of the CT520's capabilities, including 200A TIG, 50A CUT, and 180A ARC.
5.1. Plasma Cutting (CUT) Mode
This mode is used for cutting various conductive metals using a high-temperature plasma arc. The CT520 features a 50A plasma cutter with high-frequency non-touch pilot arc for easy starting.

5.2 pav. Pvzamples of cutting capabilities, showing clean cuts on various thicknesses up to 16mm.
- Connect the plasma torch and ground clamp.
- Connect the air compressor to the machine's gas inlet.
- Select 'CUT' mode on the control panel.
- Sureguliuokite pjovimo srovę (amperage) based on material thickness.
- Ensure proper air pressure is set.
- Position the torch nozzle close to the workpiece and initiate the arc.
5.2. Pulse TIG Welding Mode
TIG welding provides precise, high-quality welds, especially on thinner gauge materials and stainless steel. The pulse function offers enhanced control over heat input.
