3. Connect the ground clamp as close to the welding area on
the workpiece as practical to prevent welding current from
traveling along an unexpected path and causing an electric
shock or fire hazard.
3.1 An option is to attach the ground clamp to a bare
metal spot on a metal workbench. The circuit will
complete as long as the workpiece is also in full contact
with the bare metal workbench.
4. Do not weld on damp surfaces that can transmit the electric
current without taking precautions for the welder and
bystanders. The electrode and nozzle are electrically ‘hot’.
5. Only use insulated connectors to join welding cables.
6. Ensure there are no contacts between the workpiece and
work area that would allow it to ground, other than through
the ground cable circuit
7. Do not exceed the duty cycle or amperage required
for the type of welding. Excessive amperage can cause
the deterioration of protective insulation and create a
shock hazard (see Specifications).
8. Unplug the plasma cutting machine when not in use as the
unit as current is still entering the unit, even when it is
turned off.
9. Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear,
replace the cable immediately if damaged. Bare wiring is
dangerous and can kill.
10. Do not use damaged, under sized or badly joined cables.
11. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the
ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an accidental
startup when the power cord is plugged into the power
supply.
11.1 In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as
soon as the power is interrupted. The possibility of
