When using plasma cutters
under electrically dangerous
conditions, e.g. tight spaces
made of electrically conductive
walls (boiler, pipes, etc.),
in wet rooms (soaking of work
clothes), the output voltage
of the plasma cutter must
be greater than 48 volt
when idling (effective value).
The plasma cutter may be
used in these cases due to the
output voltage.

Protective clothing

At work, the welder must
protect his/her whole body
by using appropriate
clothing and face protection
