to equipment connected to power lines; other prac-
tices apply to engine driven equipment. 

Anyone not having extensive training in welding and 
cutting practices should not attempt to use these 
machines.

Safe practices are outlined in the European Standard 
EN60974-1 entitled: Safety in welding and allied pro-
cesses.

WARNING!

Only use safety equipment that has been ap-
proved by an appropriate standards agency. 
Unapproved safety equipment may not pro-
vide adequate protection. Eye and breathing 
protection must be AS/NZS compliant for the 
specific hazards in the work area.

DANGER!

Always wear AS/NZS compliant safety glasses 
and full face shield fitted with appropriate fil-
ter shade number. (Refer Filter Table above)

CAUTION!

Heavy-duty work gloves, non-skid safety shoes 
and hearing protection used for appropriate 
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

CAUTION!

Have the equipment serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using identical replacement parts. 
This will ensure that the safety of the power 
tool is maintained.

Personal Safety

CAUTION!

Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is 
adequate space surrounding the work area. 
Always keep the work area free of obstruc-
tions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do 
not use equipment in areas near flammable 
chemicals, dust, and vapours. Do not use this 
product in a damp or wet location.

1.   Stay  alert,  watch  what  you  are  doing  and  use 

common sense when operating equipment. Do 
not use a tool while you are tired or under the 
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A mo-
ment of distraction when operating equipment

 

may result in serious personal injury.

Arc Rays can Burn Eyes and Skin

DANGER!

Arc rays from the welding process produce
intense heat and strong ultraviolet rays that 
can burn eyes and skin.

1.   Use a Welding Helmet or Welding Face Shield fit-

ted with a proper shade filter (refer AS 60974-1, 
AS/NZS 1337.1 and AS/NZS1338.1 Safety Stand-
ards) to protect your face and eyes when plasma 
cutting or watching. (See Filter Table on pg 18)

2.   Wear  approved  safety  glasses.  Side  shields  are 

recommended.

3.   Use protective screens or barriers to protect 

others from flash and glare; warn others not to 
watch the arc.

4.   Wear protective clothing made from durable,  
 

flame-resistant material (wool and leather) and

 

foot safety protection.

5.   Never wear contact lenses while plasma cutting.

Noise Can Damage Hearing

CAUTION!

Noise from some processes can damage hear-
ing.  Use  AS/NZS  compliant  ear  plugs  or  ear 
muffs if the noise level is high.

Work Environment Safety

DANGER!

Remove  any  combustible  material  from  the 
work area.

1.   When possible, move the work to a location well
 

away from combustible materials. If relocation 
is not possible, protect the combustibles with a 
cover made of fire resistant material.

2.   Remove or make safe all combustible materials 

for a radius of 10 metres around the work area. 
Use a fire resistant material to cover or block all 
doorways, windows, cracks, and other openings.

2.   Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of 
the plasma cutter in unexpected situations.
