Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The
plasma nozzle and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on.
The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on.
Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
• Connect the primary input cable according to American standards and regulations. ANSI Z49.1.
• Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
• Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit, torch nozzle and work piece with bare
hands. The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the plasma cutting task.
• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the work piece.
• Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable immediately if damaged,
bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
• Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.
• Do not drape cables over your body.
• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to ear
th.
Fumes and gases are dangerous. Plasma cutting produces fumes and gases. Harmful fumes and
metallic powders are produced during the cutting operation. Metals which are painted or coated or
which contain mercury, zinc, lead and graphite may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes
during cutting. Breathing these fumes and gases can be
hazardous to your health.
• Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes
• Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding fumes and
gases.
•
Cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc
can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
•
fumes when cuttung. Do not cut these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing
an air supplied respirator.
• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are
using.These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that
may be dangerous to your health.
SAFETY (Continued)
Fire hazard. Plasma cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying
before doing any cutting.
Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the plasma cutting process produce in-
tense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin. Protect your eyes
safety garments. Protect others by installing adequate shields or
curtains.
•
welding gloves, appron, leg and foot protection whilst the plasma cutting operation is performed.
• Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use protective
