7.
Do not handle hot metal or electrode stubs with bare hands. Handling may
result in a burn injury.
8.
Do not use the plasma cutter if personal movement is confined or if there
is a danger of falling.
9.
Keep all panels and covers securely in place when operating the plasma
cutter.
10. Insulate the ground clamp when not connected to a workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
11.
Do not operate the plasma cutter if the torch, welding cable or ground cable
are wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the plasma
cutter must be completely dry before attempting to use them.
12. Do not point the torch or electrode holder at any body part of yourself or
at anyone else.
13. Insulate yourself from the work and the ground using dry insulation. Make
certain that the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of
physical contact.
14. Maintain good ventilation of the louvers on this equipment. Good
ventilation is of critical importance for the normal performance and
service life of this equipment.

a fall should you get a shock.
16. The torch is electrically 'hot' when the plasma cutter is turned on.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops and hot
metal parts that can start fires.
1.
Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable
materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away from the plasma cutter. Hot debris
ejected during welding can land at a considerable distance away. Solid
floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred working surface.
a.
Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or shields,
if it cannot be removed. The covering must be tight and should not
leave openings for sparks or ejected slag to enter.
b.. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material. Remove
the combustible material before welding.
