SAFETY INFORMATION
Techno CNC Systems’ cutting equipment is engineered and designed with safety as top priority.
However, the overall safety of the operator will drastically increase by proper installation and
operation.
WARNING -
Do not install, operate, or repair the CNC, or torch equipment without reading the safety warnings
within this manual.
Be very careful when maintaining, troubleshooting and operating this equipment.
THE PLASMA TORCH CAN SCORCH SKIN AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE OR DEATH
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
• PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
• KEEP CHILDEN AWAY
• IF OPERATING WITH A PACEMAKER, IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU CONSULT WITH YOUR
DOCTOR PRIOR TO USING THE MACHINE OR ANY OF ITS ACCESSORIES.
• ENSURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR
PROCEDURES ARE DONE ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
• The biproduct of plasma cutting produces fumes and gases that may be hazardous to
health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. Keep your head out and away from the
fumes.
• Use the appropriate amount of ventilation, water, and/or exhaust at the plasma arc to keep
fumes and gases away from your breathing zone.
• Use an air-supplied respirator if water and ventilation is not enough to remove all fumes.
• When plasma cutting lead, or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which
produce toxic fumes, keep your exposure to a minimum within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces, or, but
not advised, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
• Disconnect the power source from all devices before performing any service or
maintenance. When power sources are active, during operation, voltages in excess of
250V are produced. This creates the potential for serious electrical shock, or possible
death.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground by using dry insulation. Always wear gloves and
clothing that covers any exposed skin. Take extreme care when the work environment is
moist or damp.
• The electrode and work (ground) circuits are electrically active, or “hot”, when the power
source is on. Do not touch these active parts with bare skin or wet clothing. Dry gloves
and clothing without holes must be worn at all times during operation.
• Always ensure that the work ground makes a good electrical connection with the metal
being cut. The connection should be as close as possible to the material being cut.
• Ground the metal substrate being cut to a good electrical, earth ground.
• Always replace damaged or worn insulation and consumables.
• Arc Rays produced by the plasma torch can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The arcing
process produces very bright infrared and ultraviolet rays. These rays will damage your eyes
and burn your skin if the proper safety eyewear and clothing are not worn.
• Use safety glasses and a shield to protect your eyes from sparks and arc rays when operating
or observing any plasma cutting.
• Use clothing suitable for plasma cutting or gouging, including, but not limited to, durable,
flame resistant gloves and jacket.
• Protect those around the machine with suitable, non-flammable outer protection and/or warn
them not to gaze at the arc or expose themselves to the arc rays and metal spatter.
ARC RAYS WILL BURN
