BEFORE TURNING THE DEVICE ON, READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY AND
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
Familiarize yourself with the instruction manual and the device.
For your own safety and the one of third parties, observe the safety instructions and the guidelines specified
in the manual. People under 18, as well as those who are unfamiliar with the instruction manual are not
allowed to operate the device. The device may only be used in accordance with its purpose.
NOTE
• ensure your own safety and the one of third parties by reading and following the instructions of the
device
• Only qualified persons can be allowed to use, operate and repair the device
• While the device is in use, keep third parties, particularly minors, away from the place of use.
CUTTING MAY CAUSE FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION
A plasma beam ejects incandescent metal particles or sparkles. Hot metal particles, sparks, heated elements
or hot equipment may cause fire. Therefore, it is necessary to closely examine the work place surrounding
sand to make sure if it is suitable as a working area before using the device.
• Remove all flammable materials within 12 m radius from the burner.
• If that is not possible, the flammable materials are to be covered with an appropriate covering.
• It is forbidden to cut in places where flammable materials may be ignited.
• Use means of protection against stream of sparks and incandescent metal particles.
• Keep in mind that sparks or hot metal splinters may penetrate through gaps or openings.
• Pay close attention to the electric arc and make sure a fire extinguisher is at hand.
• Keep in mind that cutting close to a ceiling, on the floor or between partitioned space may cause a fire
on the other, not visible side.

DO NOT WELD NEAR TANKS OR BARRELS WITH FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
The power cable is to be plugged into the nearest socket and arranged in a practical and safe manner. Avoid
careless arrangement of the cable in the room on untested floor, which may cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not use the plasma cutter to defrost frozen pipes.
• Do not cut with plasma near flammable materials/containers. Flammable materials or containers are to
be removed or thoroughly emptied.
• Do not cut with plasma in an atmosphere containing flammable particles or vapours of explosive
materials.
• Do not plasma-cut pressurized tanks, pressure system pipes or pressurized containers.
• It is forbidden to plasma-cut containers with flammable materials.
• During plasma-cutting, it is required to wear clean, oil-free protective clothes, e.g.: leather gloves, thick
shirt, high boots and protective hood.
• The plasma cutting station is to be located away from flammable surfaces.
• Before starting plasma-cutting, get rid of flammable or explosive objects, such as propane-butane
lighters or matches.
• Observe safety and OHS regulations applicable to welding work and ensure the work station is
equipped with an appropriate fire extinguisher. The flame and the working circuit are energized if the
electric power supply is activated. The input and internal circuit of the device are also energized if the
electric power supply is activated.
ELECTRIC SHOCK IS HAZARDOUS FOR LIFE AND HEALTH
• Do not touch energized elements.
• Wear dry, insulated gloves without any holes, as well as suitable protective clothes.
• Put insulation mats or other insulation coatings on the floor, which should be sufficiently large to
prevent the body from touching the workpiece or the floor.
• Do not touch the electric arc if it touches the workpiece or the floor.
• Before operating, cleaning or replacing the electrode, disconnect the electrical power supply.
• Before the installation or maintenance, disconnect the power supply.
• Ensure that the grounding cable is properly grounded and the pin is properly connected to a grounded
socket.
• Always inspect carefully the grounding.
• Before connecting the input, select an appropriate grounding.
• Inspect regularly the power if they are damage or if they present lack of insulation. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately. Cables must be replaced if any damage is found. Improper repair of the
insulation may cause death or injury.
• Turn the device off when it is not used.
• Replace the cable if you notice any signs or abrasion or local damage.
• Do not coil the cable around your body.
• The welded workpiece is to be properly grounded.
• Use only equipment in good condition.
• Any damaged elements of the device are to be repaired or replaced.
• During work at elevated heights, use safety harness.
• All the elements of equipment and safety should be located in one place.
• It is forbidden to deactivate the safety system.
• Use only pistols listed in the instruction manual.
• When activating the release, keep the pistol tip and the arc as far as possible from your body.
• Attach the working cable to an appropriate metal contact of the welded workpiece (not to an element
which may fall off) or to the work table as close to the welder as seems appropriate.
• The working clamp is to be insulated, unless it is connected to the workpiece, in order to avoid contact
with metal.
