gloves;
• Harmful gases are released during the cutting/welding process. Take care not to inhale such gases.
• People near the cutting/welding place must be informed of the danger and equipped with proper protection
and safety equipment. If necessary, use a protective screen and keep other people at least 15 meters away from
the work place, preventing them to have contact with or direct visualization of the plasma arc cutting. Warn
about the danger by means of signs, such as: “Danger! Stay away!”
• In the surroundings of the work place, the walls and screens must not have light colors or be refl ective. If there
are windows, they must be covered, for instance, by proper paint;
• Do not allow the presence of children, animals or non-qualifi ed people in the work place. If that occurs, require
the use of safety equipment;
• Do not perform Jobs and/or cutting/welding near the power grid (for instance, o power cables) or tanks in
which gases, fuels, oils or similar substances are stored. Risk of explosion or shock.
• In case of using the welding equipment under hazardous conditions, for instance, in narrow rooms with con-
ducting walls (boiler, piping), in humid rooms (bathrooms) or hot rooms (sauna), the output voltage of the welding
equipment in operation without load cannot be over 48V (effective value). In these environments, you must use
other individual protective equipment (for eample, insulating blankets) in order to electrically insulate teh body
from teh wall or fl oor. Refer to the Law in force for further information about protection equipment.
About the welding process:
• Do not hit the work piece with the torch. That may damage the materials and make the ignition of the electric
arc more diffi cult;
• Pay attention to always place the torch on an insulated surface after the cutting/welding;
• Remove the dross only after the cooling down of the weld. If the cut/weld is continued after a pause, remover
the dross before continuing the process.
Workplace and Point of Use:
- Keep the place clean, tidy and illuminated.
- In order to avoid distractions and accidents, after using your tool, isolate the workplace to prevent access of
visitors, children or animals.
- Power outlet must be compatible to the tool plug. To reduce the risk of shock, do not change the plug characte-
ristics and do not use adapters. If required, replace the outlet with a plug suitable model.
