The device and packaging material are not toys! Children must not be allowed to play with the machine and its
accessories. Plastic parts and packaging are choking risks for children.
• Open the packaging and remove the welder carefully.
• Check that the delivery is complete.
• If possible, store the packaging until the warranty period has expired.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Use protective gloves and fire resistant protective clothing when plasma cutting.
Avoid exposing skin to ultraviolet rays produced by the arc.
WELDING HELMET / SAFETY GLASSES
Under no circumstances should the plasma cutter be operated unless the operator is wearing
goggles to protect the eyes and face. There is serious risk of eye damage if a helmet is not
used. The sparks and metal projectiles can cause serious damage to the eyes and face. The
light radiation produced by the arc can cause damage to eyesight, and burns to skin.
Never remove the welding helmet whilst welding.
OTHER PERSONS
Ensure that other persons are screened from the plasma sparks and are at least 15 metres
away from the work piece. Always ensure that cutting area is screened from onlookers, or
people just passing by. Use screens if necessary, or non-reflecting welding curtain. Do not let
children or animals have access to the welding equipment or to the work area.
SWITCHING OFF
When the operator has finished cutting they must switch the Plasma cutter off.
When leaving the Plasma cutter unattended, move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and
disconnect the plasma from the electrical mains supply.
Do not leave hot material unattended after cutting.
FUMES &GASES ARE DANGEROUS
Smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting can be harmful to people’s health. Welding
produces fumes and gases. 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.
• In confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or
death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld 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.
• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can
give off toxic fumes when welded. Do not weld these materials unless the area is very well
ventilated, and or wearing an air supplied respirator.
