1.0 Safety Warnings

WARNING

1.1 General Precautions

Whereas plasma cutting has been used

safely for years, it does require certain

precautions to ensure the safety of the

operator and other people around the

equipment. The following safety information

must be provided to each person who will

operate, observe, perform maintenance, or

work in close proximity to this piece of

equipment. Always wear appropriate

personal protective equipment (PPE).

Installation, operation, and repairs made to

this System should only be performed by

qualified personnel. The System makes use

of both A.C. and D.C. circuitry for operation.

Fatal shock hazard does exist. Exercise

extreme caution while working on the

System.

1.2 California Proposition 65

This product, when used for welding or

cutting, produces fumes or gases which

contain chemicals known to the State of

California to cause birth defects and, in

some cases, cancer. (California Health &

Safety Code § 25249.5 et seq.)

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm

www.p65warnings.ca.gov

1.3 Ultraviolet Radiation

Protection

Plasma cutting produces

ultraviolet radiation similar to

a welding arc. This ultraviolet

radiation can cause skin and

eye burns. For this reason, it

is essential that proper protection be worn.

The eyes are best protected by using safety

glasses or a welding helmet with an AWS

No. 12 shade or ISO 4850 No. 13 shade,

which provides protection up to 400

amperes. All exposed skin areas should be

covered with flame-retardant clothing. The

cutting area should also be prepared in

such a way that ultraviolet light does not

reflect. Walls and other surfaces should be

painted with dark colors to reduce reflected

light. Protective screens or curtains should

be installed to protect additional workers in

the area from ultraviolet radiation.

1.4 Fire Prevention

When using this System, it is

necessary to exercise good

judgment. While cutting, the

arc produces sparks that

could cause a fire if they fall

on flammable materials. Make sure that all

flammable materials are a suitable distance

away from the cutting area. All flammable

liquids should be at least 40 feet away from

the cutting area, preferably stored in a

metal cabinet. Plasma cutting should never

be attempted on containers that contain

flammable materials. Make sure that fire

extinguishers are readily accessible in the

cutting area.

Make sure that the cutting area is properly

ventilated when using oxygen as a cutting

gas.

Page 6 of 132

WARNING

1.5 Noise Protection

The System generates high

noise levels while cutting.

Depending on the size of the

cutting area, distance from the

cutting torch, and arc current

cutting level, acceptable noise levels may

be exceeded. Proper ear protection should

be used as defined by local or national

codes. Refer to Section 2.12 for noise

emission levels.

1.6 Toxic Fume Prevention

Care should be taken to

ensure adequate ventilation

in the cutting area. Some

materials give off toxic

fumes that can be harmful

or fatal to people in the vicinity of the cutting

area. Also, some solvents decompose and

form harmful gases when exposed to

ultraviolet radiation. These solvents should

be removed from the area prior to cutting.

Galvanized metal can produce harmful

gases during the cutting process. Ensure

proper ventilation and use breathing

equipment when cutting these materials.

Certain metals coated with or containing

lead, cadmium, zinc, beryllium, and

mercury produce harmful toxins. Do not cut

these metals unless all people subjected to

the fumes wear proper air breathing

equipment.

1.7 Health Support Equipment

The System creates electric

and magnetic fields that

may interfere with certain

types of health support

equipment, such as

pacemakers. Any person

who uses a pacemaker or similar item

should consult a doctor before operating,

observing, maintaining, or servicing the

System. Observe the following guidelines to

minimize exposure to these electric and

magnetic fields:

•Stay as far away from the Power Supply,

torch, torch leads, and arc start console

as possible.

•Route the torch leads as close as possible

to the work ground cable.

•Never place your body between the torch

leads and work ground cable. Keep the

work ground cable and the torch leads on

the same side of your body.

•Never stand in the center of a coiled up

set of torch leads or work ground cable.

WARNING

1.8 Electric Shock Prevention

The System uses high open

circuit voltages that can be

fatal. Extreme care should be

used when operating or

performing maintenance on the

System. Only qualified personnel should

service the System. Observe the following

guidelines to protect against electric shock:

•A wall-mounted disconnect switch should

be installed and fused according to local

and national electrical codes. The

disconnect switch should be located as

close as possible to the Power Supply so

it can be turned off in case of an

emergency.

•The primary power cord should have a

600 volt minimum rating in order to protect

the operator. In addition, it should be

sized according to local and national

electrical codes. Inspect the primary

power cord frequently. Never operate the

System if the power cord is damaged in

any way.

•Make sure the primary power ground wire

is connected to the input power ground

stud on the Power Supply. Make sure the

connection is securely tightened.

•Make sure the positive output (work

ground) of the Power Supply is connected

to a bare metal area on the cutting table.

A driven ground rod should be placed no

further than five feet from this connection.

Make sure this ground point on the cutting

table is used as the star ground point for

all other ground connections.

•Inspect the torch leads frequently. Never

use the System if the leads are damaged

in any way.

•Do not stand in wet, damp areas when

operating or performing maintenance on

the System.

•Wear insulated gloves and shoes while

operating or performing maintenance on

the System.

•Make sure the System is switched off at

the wall disconnect before servicing the

Power Supply or torch.

•Never change torch consumable parts

unless the System is switched off at the

wall disconnect.

•Do not attempt to remove any parts from

beneath the torch when cutting.

Remember that the workpiece forms the

current path back to the Power Supply.

•Never bypass the safety interlock devices.

•Before removing any of the covers, switch

the System off at the wall disconnect.

Wait at least five (5) minutes before

removing any cover. This will give the

capacitors inside the unit time to

discharge.

•Never operate the System without all of

the covers in place.

•Preventive maintenance should be

performed daily to avoid possible safety

hazards.

WARNING

1.9 Explosion Prevention

The System uses compressed

gases. Use proper techniques

when handling compressed

gas cylinders and other

compressed gas equipment. Observe the

following guidelines to protect against

explosion:

•Never operate the System in the presence

of explosive gases or other explosive

materials.

•Never cut pressurized cylinders or any

closed container.

•When using a water table and cutting

aluminum under water or with water

touching the underside of the aluminum

plate, hydrogen gas is produced. This

hydrogen gas may collect under the plate

and explode during the cutting process.

Make sure the water table is properly

aerated to help prevent the accumulation

of hydrogen gas.

•Handle all gas cylinders in accordance

with safety standards published by the

U.S. Compressed Gas Association

(CGA), American Welding Society (AWS),

Canadian Standards Association (CSA),

or other local or national codes.

•Compressed gas cylinders should be

maintained properly. Never attempt to use

a cylinder that is leaking, cracked, or has

other signs of physical damage.

•All gas cylinders should be secured to a

wall or rack to prevent accidental knock

over.

•If a compressed gas cylinder is not being

used, replace the protective valve cover.

•Never attempt to repair compressed gas

cylinders.

•Keep compressed gas cylinders away

from intense heat, sparks, or flames.

•Clear the compressed gas cylinder

connection point by opening the valve

momentarily prior to installing a regulator.

•Never lubricate compressed gas cylinder

valves or pressure regulators with any

type of oil or grease.

•Never use a compressed gas cylinder or

pressure regulator for any purpose other

than which it is intended.

•Never use a pressure regulator for any

gas other than which it is intended.

•Never use a pressure regulator that is

leaking or has other signs of physical

damage.

•Never use oxygen hoses and pressure

regulators for any gas other than oxygen.

•Never use any gas hose that is leaking or

has other signs of physical damage.
