h) Take care of regular service and maintenance.

i) Before each adjustment, maintenance, nozzle replacement, etc., disconnect the equipment from the power supply.

j) Do not use the product with the housing removed.

k) All waste generated during cutting must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

1.2. PREPARATION OF WORKPLACE FOR CUTTING

Caution! Cutting may cause fire or explosion. Plasma stream throws out incandescent metal particles or sparks. Hot metal particles, sparks, a heated element or a hot burner may cause fire. Therefore carefully check the surroundings of the workplace for safety.

a) Remove all combustible materials within a radius of 12 m from the burner.

b) If this is not possible, flammable materials should be secured with a suitable cover.

c) It is forbidden to cut in places where flammable materials may ignite.

d) Safety measures should be taken to avoid beams of sparks and glowing metal particles.

e) Note that sparks or hot metal chips may enter through gaps or holes.

f) Pay close attention to electric arc and have a fire extinguisher in close range.

g) Pay attention to the fact that cutting at the ceiling, on the floor or between the separated space can cause a flame outbreak on the other side that is invisible.

h) Always take care of sufficient ventilation.

i) Use the equipment at ambient temperature between -10 and 40°C, in a room with low humidity and dust concentration, without direct exposure to sunlight.

j) If cutting is made in a place where there are sudden air movements, use a wind shield.

k) Before cutting, take a stable position.

I) Do not use plasma torch to warm frozen pipes.

m) Do not cut with plasma near combustible materials/tanks. Flammable materials or tanks must be removed or thoroughly emptied.

n) Do not cut with plasma in an atmosphere containing combustible particles or fumes of explosive substances.

o) Do not plasma cut pressurised tanks, pressure system lines or pressure containers.

p) Place the plasma cutting station away from flammable surfaces.

q) Before cutting with plasma, dispose of flammable or explosive items, such as butane propane lighters or matches.

r) Observe the occupational health and safety regulations for welding works and equip the work station with a suitable fire extinguisher. The flame and operating circuit are live if electrical supply is switched on. The input circuit and internal circuit of the equipment are also live, provided that electrical supply is switched on.

Caution! Cutting near tanks or barrels with flammable substances is prohibited.

Note! Keep children and other bystanders safe while operating the equipment.

1.3. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Caution! Splashes and sparks can cause injury.

a) Always wear a protective mask or glasses with a side cover.

b) Always wear suitable protective clothing to protect the body.

c) Always wear earplugs or other hearing protection to avoid spatter entering ears.

d) Electric arc in the cutting process produces large amounts of visible and invisible radiation (ultraviolet and infrared radiation) which can cause damage to sight and skin.
e) When cutting with plasma, wear clean, oil-free protective clothing, e.g. leather gloves, thick shirt, trousers without wrapped legs, high shoes and protective hood.
f) Use face protection (helmet or shield) and eye protection with a proper coloured eyepiece that performs the function of a filter and protects eyes during cutting.
g) Safety standards suggest colouring no. 9 (minimum no. 8) for each current below 300 A. Lower colouring of the cover can be used if arc covers the workpiece.
h) Always use approved safety glasses with side shield under the helmet or other cover.
i) Use workplace guards to protect other people from blinding light radiation or splashes.
j) Bystanders should be warned against looking at electric arc.
k) For people with a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, it is not recommended to use the equipment without first consulting a doctor.

NOTE! Radiation of electric arc may cause damage to sight and skin.

1.4. ELECTRIC SHOCK PROTECTION

Caution! Electric shock can be fatal.

a) The power cable should be connected to the nearest socket and laid in a practical and safe manner. Avoid negligent routing of the cable in the room on an untested ground, which may lead to electric shock or fire.
b) Contact with electrically charged elements may cause electric shock or severe burns.
c) Electric arc and working area during current flow are electrically charged.
d) The input circuit and the internal current circuit of the equipment are also live with power on.
e) Do not touch live objects.
f) Wear dry, non-punctured, insulated gloves and protective clothing.
g) Use insulating mats or other insulation coatings on the floor that are large enough to prevent body contact with the object or floor.
h) Do not touch electric arc.

i) Before operation, cleaning or replacing the electrode turn off power supply.
j) Make sure that the ground wire is properly connected and that the plug is properly connected to the grounded socket. Improper connection of grounding of the equipment may cause a threat to life or health.
k) Check current cables regularly for damage or lack of insulation. Replace damaged cables. Careless insulation repair may cause death or loss of health.
I) When the product is not used, turn off all input power supply units.
m) The cable must not be wrapped around the body.
n) The workpiece being cut must be properly grounded.
o) Only use accessories which are in good condition.
p) Damaged parts of the equipment must be repaired or replaced.
q) When working at heights, use safety belts.
r) All accessories and safety elements should be stored in one place.
s) When the trigger is activated, keep the handle tip away from the body.
t) Attach the working cable to the correct metal contact of the cut element (not to an element that may fall off) or to the work table close enough to the plasma cutter, as far as it seems intentional.
u) The working clamp must be insulated unless it is connected to the workpiece in order to avoid contact with the metal surface.
v) The product is intended for indoor work. However, if it was exposed to moisture or rain, check whether water droplets did not get inside, which may result in an accident.
w) After switching off the equipment and disconnecting the power cable, check voltage on the input capacitor and make sure that the voltage value is zero. Otherwise do not touch the equipment components.
x) The equipment must not get wet.

NOTE! After disconnecting the power cable, the equipment may still be live.

NOTE! Although the equipment has been designed to be safe and has been provided with adequate safeguards, and despite the use of additional safety measures, there is still a low, residual risk of accident or injury during its operation. Caution and common sense are advised when using the product.
