Hot metal and sparks are blown
off from the cutting arch. The
flying sparks, hot metal as well as
hot objects and hot device equip-
ment can cause fires or burns.
Check the working environment
and make sure the workplace is
suitable prior to using the device.
„
Remove all flammable material
within 10 m of the plasma
cutter. If this is not possible,
cover the objects meticulously
using suitable covers.
„
Do not make cuts in places
where flying sparks could
come into contact with flamma-
ble material.
„
Protect yourself and others
from flying sparks and hot
metal.
„
Please be careful because
sparks and hot materials can
easily fall through small gaps
and openings while cutting
and land on adjacent areas.
„
Please be aware that cut-
ting on a ceiling, floor or a
partition can cause a fire on
the opposite side that is not
visible.
„
Connect the power cable using
the shortest route with a socket
situated close to the workplace
to prevent the power cable
from being spread across the
whole room and located on a
surface which could cause an
electric shock, sparks or fire
outbreak.
„
Do not use the plasma cutter to
defrost frozen tubes.
Risk of electric shock:
WARNING!
f
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
