3. During cutting period, when the floating voltage is too high, the operator should check the ground connection, neutral connection and insulation of the torch handle. Then isolate the workbench from the ground, Or install no-load open-circuit relay in the
   electrical control system.

4. The cutting operator and assistant must wear labor protection articles by regulation and take safety measures to prevent electric shock, high-altitude falling, gas poisoning, fire or any other accidents.

5. The site should build rain-proof, damp-proof and sun-proof machine shed, and install corresponding fire equipment. The machine should keep away from flammable and combustible materials.

6. As the operation and maintenance has potential dangerous, operator should be careful in case getting injured. It’s forbidden to wear loosen cloths or cotton ropes in case being entangled by the machine.

7.  The high voltage of plasma CNC cutter is fatal, so operator should install the machine step by step as the manufacturer stipulate.

8. Only trained personnel can be allowed to operate the equipment. Any maintenance should obey the user’s manual and before that the power should be cut off. Only experience technicist is allowed to change assemblies.

Stinger Description

1.1. What is Stinger?
The CNC plasma cutting machine, Spark Pro, has a very lightweight structure. The total weight is just 200kg, but it is in a higher working size. And it is also higher configured with THC for plasma cutting. It is a very good choice for the studio and for the university and for smaller workshops. If you have such a working scene, for small parts production, furniture decoration, or any other metal works, stop outsourcing your cutting needs and put a production- capable machine in your shop at a fraction of the price. COMPACT, SMART, AND AFFORDABLE. Spark Pro takes its advantages to the limit.

1.2. Application
Spark is an ideal CNC Plate Cutting Machine widely used in industry field, such as shipbuilding industry, metallurgic industry, petrochemical industry and water resources & electric power. It can cut various metal plates in seconds, for instance: copper and aluminum (plasma cutting).
1.3. Programming and Nesting
Using ARCBRO plate nesting software, you can edit and do the nesting process for your pattern designed by CAD, then generate a G-code cutting file in txt format. This txt cutting file can be recognized and carried out by our CNC system when you import it by a USB drive. Now, running Spark , you can achieve accurate profiling of this pattern automatically.

Packing List

2.1. Introduction
Spark is packed carefully in one wooden boxes. All equipment in the boxes are protected fully to avoid any damages during transportation.
