Maintenance and repair work must be performed by an experienced person, and electrical work only

by a trained electrician. Use only recommended replacement parts.

This service manual is intended for use by technicians with electrical/electronic training for help in

connection with fault-tracing and repair.

Use the wiring diagram as a form of index for the description of operation. The circuit boards are

divided into numbered blocks, which are described individually in more detail in the description of

operation. Component names in the wiring diagram are listed in the component description.

Use the spare parts list as a guide to where the components are located in the equipment. The spare

parts list is published as a separate document, see the "SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES"

chapter in this manual.

This manual contains details of design changes that have been made up to and including 05 2021.

The manual is valid for:

• HandyPlasma 35i

• HandyPlasma 45i

• Firepower 25

• Firepower 35

• Firepower 45

• CutSkill 35

NOTE!

The unit is tested by ESAB in a general set-up. The responsibility for safety and function, of

the specific set-up, lies with the integrator.

The HandyPlasma 35i/45i, Firepower 25/35/45 and CutSkill 35/45 are designed and tested in

accordance with the standards stated in the instruction manual. On completion of service or repair

work, it is the responsibility of the person(s) performing the work to ensure that the product still

complies with the requirements of the involved standards.

Rated duty cycle (%) 35%

Duty cycle

The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at a

certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40°C/104°F, or below.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i.e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water.

Equipment marked IP21S is intended for indoor use.
