Read entire section before starting installation   

 

WARNING! 

 

Electric Shock can kill    Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Turn off input power at the 
fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts. Always connect the machine 
to an earthed mains supply as per national recommended standards.   

Select suitable location

 

Place the plasma cutter where clean cooling air can freely circulate in and out of the front & rear louver vents. 
Dirt, dust or any foreign material that can be drawn through vents into plasma cutter must be kept to a minimum. 
Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures which can lead to plant 
failure.   

Grinding

 

Do not direct grinding particles towards the plasma cutter. An abundance of conductive material can cause 
plant failure.   

Transport Unloading

 

Never underestimate the weight of equipment, never move or leave suspended in the air above people. 
Use recommended lifting equipment at all times.   

WARNING! 

 

Falling Equipment can cause injury. Never lift plasma cutter with gas bottle attached. Never lift above personnel.   

Tilting

 

Machine must be placed on a secure level surface or on a recommended undercarriage/trolley. This machine 
may topple over if this procedure is not followed.   

Environmental Rating

 

The plasma power source carries the IP21S rating. It may be used in normal industrial and commercial 
environments. Avoid using in areas where water / rain is around.
