CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE!
YOU ARE NOW IN THE POSSESSION OF ONE OF THE SAFEST AND MOST TECHNOLOGICALLY
ADVANCED PLASMA CUTTERS ON THE MARKET.
FOLLOW OUR SUGGESTIONS AND YOU WILL BE GUARANTEED SAFE AND
PROBLEM-FREE OPERATION.
Your plasma cutting unit is fitted with sophisticated safeguards which block fun-
ctioning and therefore the cutting operations until all the safety conditions are
present. The plasma cutting technique requires dangerously high voltage for
pilot arc starting and during cutting, therefore the following safety rules must be
observed with great care.
ELECTRICITY
• Make sure that the unit is grounded and that the supply line has an adequate
ground connection.
• Make sure that the work bench has a satisfactory ground connection.
• Avoid contact between the material being cut and bare skin or damp clothes.
• Do not lean on the piece being cut or hold it in your hands.
• Do not carry out cutting operations in damp environments or on wet surfaces.
• Do not use the unit if the torch or cables appear damaged.
