RECOGNIZE SAFETY
INFORMATION

DANGER WARNING CAUTION

Hypertherm uses American National Standards Institute
guidelines for safety signal words and symbols. A signal
word DANGER or WARNING is used with a safety
symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards.

• DANGER and WARNING safety labels are located on

your machine near specific hazards.

• DANGER safety messages precede related

instructions in the manual that will result in serious
injury or death if not followed correctly.

• WARNING safety messages precede related

instructions in this manual that may result in injury or
death if not followed correctly.

• CAUTION safety messages precede related

instructions in this manual that may result in minor
injury or damage to equipment if not followed correctly.

The symbols shown in this section are used to identify
potential hazards. When you see a safety symbol in this
manual or on your machine, understand the potential
for personal injury, and follow the related instructions to
avoid the hazard.

FOLLOW SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

Read carefully all safety messages in this manual and
safety labels on your machine.

• Keep the safety labels on your machine in good

condition. Replace missing or damaged labels
immediately.

• Learn how to operate the machine and how to use

the controls properly. Do not let anyone operate it
without instruction.

• Keep your machine in proper working condition.

Unauthorized modifications to the machine may
affect safety and machine service life.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

• Only trained and authorized personnel may open this

equipment.

• If the equipment is permanently connected, turn it off,

and lock out/tag out power before the enclosure is
opened.

• If power is supplied to the equipment with a cord,

unplug the unit before the enclosure is opened.

• Lockable disconnects or lockable plug covers must be

provided by others.

• Wait 5 minutes after removal of power before entering

the enclosure to allow stored energy to discharge.

• If the equipment must have power when the enclosure

is open for servicing, arc flash explosion hazards may
exist. Follow ALL local requirements (NFPA 70E in the
USA) for safe work practices and for Personal
Protective Equipment when servicing energized
equipment.

• The enclosure shall be closed and the proper earth

ground continuity to the enclosure verified prior to
operating the equipment after moving, opening, or
servicing.

• Always follow these instructions for disconnecting

power before inspecting or changing torch
consumable parts.
