XPR300

Safety considerations

For maximum safety, follow these safety guidelines when you diagnose or troubleshoot performance 
issues:

Before you attempt to diagnose or troubleshoot a problem, make sure to read, understand, 
and follow all of the safety instructions (in this manual and on the cutting system).

Unless the instructions tell you otherwise, always remove the power from the cutting system 
before you attempt to diagnose or troubleshoot a performance issue.

Use a licensed electrician to install, modify, inspect, or repair any electrical equipment or 
electrical systems.

Use a licensed plumber to install, modify, inspect, or repair any plumbing equipment or 
plumbing systems.

For complete safety information, see the 

Safety and Compliance Manual

 

(80669C).

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

Disconnect electrical power before doing any troubleshooting or 
diagnostic work.

All work requiring removal of the plasma power supply panels must be 
done by a qualified technician.

See the 

Safety and Compliance Manual

 (80669C) for more safety 

precautions.

The plasma power supply contains dangerous electric voltages that can 
cause injury or death.

Even if the cutting system is turned OFF, you can still get a serious 
electric shock if the cutting system remains connected to an electric 
power source.

Use extreme caution if you do diagnosis or maintenance tasks when the 
plasma power supply remains plugged in and the panels on the plasma 
power supply are removed.
