SIGMA LASER STENT AND TUBE CUTTER

viii

990-401

CAUTION

Keep water and water containers away from the Tube Cutter.

Water spilled on the Tube Cutter can cause a short circuit, electrical shock, or fire.

Use proper tools (wire strippers, pressure wire connectors, etc.) for terminations of the
connecting cables.

Do not nick the wire conductor. Doing so can cause a short circuit, electric shock, or fire.

Install the Tube Cutter on a firm, level surface.

Injury may result if the Tube Cutter falls over or drops from an uneven surface.

Keep combustible matter away from the Tube Cutter.

Laser spatter can ignite combustible materials. If you cannot remove all combustible materials,
cover them with a non-combustible material.

NEVER apply the laser beam to combustible materials.

To avoid the risk of fire, never apply the laser to flammable or combustible materials.

When operating the Tube Cutter, do not cover it with a blanket, cloth, etc.

Heat generated by the operating Laser may ignite a blanket or cover.

NOT

use the Tube Cutter for purposes other than processing metal.

Use of the Tube Cutter on other materials, or in a manner other than specified may cause fire
or electrical shock.

Wear protective gear when operating the Tube Cutter.

Wear protective gear such as protective gloves, long-sleeved jacket, leather apron, etc. so that
Laser spatter will not burn the skin.

Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

Make sure there is a fire extinguisher in or near the Laser shop in case of fire.

Regularly inspect and maintain the Tube Cutter.

Regular inspection and maintenance is essential for safe operation and long life of the Tube
Cutter. If you see

any

damage, make necessary repairs before operating the Tube Cutter.
