Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn
on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying
sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead cutting,
is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary,
even head protection.

Protection against rays and burns
Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying
“Caution! Do not look into flames!” in the work area. The work-
places must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity are
protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from cutting
work.
The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays being transmitted or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.

EMC Device Classification
According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a plasma cutter in
electromagnetic compatibility Class A. Class A devices are devices
that are suitable for use in all other areas except living areas and
areas that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply mains that
(also) supplies residential buildings. Class A devices must adhere to
the Class A limit values.
Class A devices are intended for use in an indus-
trial environment. Due to the power-related as well as the radiated
interference variables, difficulties might arise in ensuring electromag-
netic compatibility in other environments. Even if the device complies
with the emission limit values in accordance with the standard, such
devices can still cause electromagnetic interference in sensitive sys-
tems and devices. The user is responsible for faults caused by the arc
while working, and the user must take suitable protective measures.
In doing so, the user must consider the following:
–
power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines
–
computer and other microprocessor controlled devices.
–
television, radio and other playback devices
–
electronic and electrical safety equipment
–
persons with cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
–
measurement and calibration devices
