Risk of electric shock:
WARNING!

Electric shock from the cutting
electrode can be fatal.

Do not use the plasma cutter
when it is raining or snowing.

Wear dry insulating gloves.

Do not touch the electrodes
with bare hands.

Do not wear wet or damaged
gloves.

Protect yourself from electric
shock with insulation against
the workpiece.

Do not open the device
housing.

Additional protection against a
shock from the mains power in
the event a fault can be pro-
vided by using a fault-circuit
interrupter, which is operated
with a leakage current of no
more than 30 mA and covers
all mains-powered devices in
close proximity. The fault-circuit
interrupter must be suitable for
all types of current.

There must be means of rapid
electrical isolation of the
cutting power source or the
cutting circuit (e.g. emergency
stop device) which are easily
accessible.
Danger from smoke
emission when plasma
cutting:

Inhalation of fumes which
result from plasma cutting can
endanger health.

Do not keep your head in the
fumes.

Use the device in open areas.

Only use the device in
well-ventilated spaces.
Danger from fl ying sparks
when plasma cutting:

Cutting sparks can cause an
explosion or fi re.

Keep fl ammable substances
away from the cutting location.

Do not use the plasma cutter
near fl ammable substances.

Cutting sparks can cause fi res.

Keep a fi re extinguisher close
by and an observer should
be present to be able to use it
immediately.

Do not carry out plasma
cutting on drums or any other
closed containers.
Danger from arc beams:

Arc beams can damage your
eyes and injure your skin.

Wear a hat and safety
goggles.
