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.
