SAFETY

 

IMPORTANT: 

BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR CARRYING OUT 

 

MAINTENANCE ON THE  PLASMA CUTTER, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS 

MANUAL CAREFULLY, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL 

USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE. 

 

PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY RULES. 

 

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR PLASMA CUTTING.

Electric shock: It can kill.  

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe 

burns.  The plasma nozzle and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on.  

The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on.  

Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.

Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.

• Connect the primary input cable according to Australian and  New Zealand standards and regulations.

•  Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.

• Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit, torch nozzle and work piece with bare 

  hands. The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the plasma cutting task.

• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the work piece. 

•  Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.

 •

  Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable immediately if damaged,

 

  bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.

  • Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.

   • Do not drape cables over your body.

• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to earth.

 

Fumes and gases are dangerous. 

Plasma cutting  produces fumes and gases. Harmful 

fumes and  metallic powders are produced during the cutting operation. Metals which are 

painted or coated or which contain mercury, zinc, lead and graphite may produce harmful 

concentrations of toxic fumes during cutting. Breathing these fumes and gases can be haz-

ardous to your health. 

  

 

   • Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes

   • Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove fumes and gases. 

 • 

In confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied respirator. 

 

  Cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.  

  Be sure the breathing air is safe. 

 • Do not cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc 

  can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases. 

 • 

Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give off toxic

 

  fumes when cuttung. Do not cut these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing 

  an air supplied respirator.

• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are  

  using.These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that  

  may be dangerous to your health.

Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. 

Arc rays from the plasma cutting process 

produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and 

skin. Protect your eyes with welding masks or goggles fitted with filtered lenses, and protect 

your body with appropriate safety garments. Protect others by installing adequate shields or  

curtains.

 

   • 

Always wear a helmet or goggles with correct shade of filter lens and suitable protective clothing including

 

  welding gloves, appron, leg and foot protection whilst the plasma cutting operation is performed.

   • Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area.  Use protective  

  screens or barriers to protect others from flash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

MACHINE OPERATING SAFETY

Plasma cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding 

working area, if the equipment is not correctly operated.  Equipment must only be used under the strict and 

comprehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual 

carefully before the installation and operation of this equipment.
