1.1 The workpiece or any conductive material in contact with it.
1.2 The ground clamp.
1.3 The electrode.
1.4 Any metal parts on the plasma torch.
1.5 The output terminals.
2. Insulate yourself from the electrical current and ground using
electrical insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent physical
contact with the workpiece or ground.
3. Connect the ground clamp as close to the welding area on the
workpiece as practical to prevent welding current from traveling along
an unexpected path and causing an electric shock or fire hazard.
3.1 An option is to attach the ground clamp to a bare metal spot on
a metal workbench. The circuit will complete as long as the
workpiece is also in full contact with the bare metal workbench.
4. Do not weld on damp surfaces that can transmit the electric current
without taking precautions for the welder and bystanders. The
electrode and nozzle are electrically 'hot'.
5. Only use insulated connectors to join welding cables.
6. Ensure there are no contacts between the workpiece and work
area that would allow it to ground, other than through the ground
cable circuit
7. Do not exceed the duty cycle or amperage required for the type of
welding. Excessive amperage can cause the deterioration of protective
insulation and create a shock hazard (see Specifications).
8. Unplug the plasma cutting machine when not in use as the unit as
current is still entering the unit, even when it is turned off.
9. Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the
cable immediately if damaged. Bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
10. Do not use damaged, under sized or badly joined cables.
11. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF
switch on the tool. This will prevent an accidental startup when the
power cord is plugged into the power supply.
11.1 In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as
the power is interrupted. The possibility of accidental injury
could occur, if the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
