Safety FineLine 200PC User’s Manual
Galvanized metal can produce harmful gases during the cutting process. Ensure
proper ventilation and use breathing equipment when cutting these materials.
Certain metals coated with or containing lead, cadmium, zinc, beryllium, and
mercury produce harmful toxins. Do not cut these metals unless all people
subjected to the fumes wear proper air breathing equipment.
Electric Shock Prevention
The FineLine 200PC system uses high open circuit voltages that can be fatal.
Extreme care should be used when operating or performing maintenance on the
system. Only qualified personnel should service the FineLine system. Observe
the following guidelines to protect against electric shock:
•
A wall-mounted disconnect should be installed and fused according to local
and national electrical codes. The disconnect should be located as close as
possible to the power supply so it can be turned off in case of an emergency.
•
The primary power cord should have a 600 volt minimum rating in order to
protect the operator. In addition, it should be sized according to local and
national electrical codes. Inspect the primary power cord frequently. Never
operate the FineLine system if the power cord is damaged in any way.
•
Make sure the primary power ground wire is connected to the input power
ground stud on the FineLine power supply. Make sure the connection is
securely tightened.
•
Make sure the positive output (work ground) of the FineLine power supply is
connected to a bare metal area on the cutting table. A driven ground rod
should be placed no further than five feet from this connection. Make sure
this ground point on the cutting table is used as the star ground point for all
other ground connections.
•
Inspect the torch leads frequently. Never use the system if the leads are
damaged in any way.
•
Do not stand in wet, damp areas when operating or performing maintenance
on the system.
•
Wear insulated gloves and shoes while operating or performing maintenance
on the system.
•
Make sure the FineLine system is switched off at the wall disconnect before
servicing the power supply or torch.
•
Never change torch consumable parts unless the FineLine system is switched
off at the wall disconnect.
•
Do not attempt to remove any parts from beneath the torch when cutting.
Remember that the workpiece forms the current path back to the power
supply.
•
Never bypass the safety interlock devices.
•
Before removing any of the FineLine covers, switch the system off at the wall
disconnect. Wait at least five (5) minutes before removing any cover. This
