WarninG!

 it is the user’s responsibility to check the following:

 

check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. inspect power supply leads, plugs and    

 

all electrical connections for wear and damage. sealey recommend that an rcd (residual current device) is used with all electrical  

 

products. if the Plasma cutter is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAt  

 

(Portable Appliance test) tested.

 

electrical safety information, it is important that the following information is read and understood.

 

9

   ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply, regularly inspect power  

  supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

 

9

  

Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the correct plug is fitted, with the correct     

  rated supply.

 

‰

  

WarninG!

 The electrical installation of the plasma cutting unit must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

 

8

   DO  nOt

 pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

 

8

  

DO nOt

 pull the plug from the socket by the cable. 

 

8

   DO  nOt

 use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a   

  qualified electrician.

 

9

   if the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off the electricity supply and remove from use. 

 

A) connect the Green/YelloW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘e’.

 

B) connect the BroWn live wire to the live terminal ‘l’.

 

c) connect the Blue neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘n’.

 

ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the  

  

 

restraint is tight. 

1.2.    

General saFetY

 

‰

  

WarninG!

 if using a generator to power the inverter. the generator must be self regulating and stable with regard to voltage,    

  waveform and frequency. the output must be greater than the power consumption of the inverter. if any of these requirements are  

  not met the electronics within the inverter may be affected.

 

‰

 

WarninG

 the use of an unregulated generator may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

 

‰

  

WarninG!

 the inverter may produce voltage surges in the mains supply which can damage other sensitive equipment  

  (e.g. computers). it is recommended that the inverter is connected to a power supply that does not feed any sensitive equipment.

 

  

DANGER! 

Direct contact with the plasma inverter circuit or torch is dangerous. You 

MUST

 unplug the inverter from the mains power  

  supply, before connecting or disconnecting cables or performing maintenance or service. 

 

9

   Keep the plasma inverter, cables and torch in good condition. 

Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.

 

9

  

use recommended parts and accessories only. 

Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

 

 

9

   only use the cutting torch provided and ensure that any replacement is of the same type.

 

9

   use the plasma inverter in a suitable work area. ensure that the area has adequate ventilation as cutting fumes are harmful.

 

  for enclosed areas we recommend the use of an air and smoke extraction system. if you are not able to provide adequate  

 

 

  extraction and/or ventilation, wear a respirator suitable for protection against toxic fumes, smoke and gases.

 

9

   ensure that there are no obstructions to the flow of clean cool air and ensure that there are no conductive dusts, corrosive vapours    

  or humidity which could enter the unit and cause serious damage.

 

‰

  

WARNING: 

Use a welding head shield to protect your eyes and avoid exposing skin to the ultraviolet rays given off by the electric    

 arc. 

Always wear protective clothing, insulating gloves and shoes. Keep all protective items clean and undamaged.

 

9

   Wear correct fitting protective clothing, remove watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.

 

9

   stand correctly, keeping a good footing and balance and ensure that the floor is not slippery. Wear non-slip shoes.

 

9

   ensure that the work piece is correctly secured before cutting.

 

9

   Avoid unintentional contact with the work piece. Accidental or uncontrolled switching on of the torch may be dangerous and will wear
