SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fire awareness
The cung and welding process can cause serious risks of re or explosion.
Cung or welding sealed containers, tanks, drums or pipes can cause explosions.
Sparks from the welding or cung process can cause res and burns.
Check and risk assess the area is safe before doing any cung or welding.
Venlate all ammable or explosive vapour from the workplace.
Remove any and all ammable materials away from the working area. If necessary, cover ammable
materials or containers with approved covers (following manufacturers instrucons) if unable to remove
from the immediate area.
Do not cut or weld where the atmosphere may contain ammable dust, gas or liquid vapour.
Always have the appropriate re exnguisher nearby and know how to use it.
Hot parts
Always be aware that material being cut or welded will get very hot and hold that heat for a
considerably long me which will cause severe burns if the appropriate PPE is not worn.
Do not touch hot material or parts with bare hands.
Always allow for a cooling down period before working on material recently cut or welded.
Use the appropriate insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts to prevent burns.
Noise awareness
The cung and welding process can generate noise that can cause permanent damage to your
hearing. Noise from cung and welding equipment can damage hearing.
Always protect your ears from noise and wear approved and appropriate ear protecon if
noise levels are high.
Consult with your local specialist if you are unsure how to test for noise levels.
RF Declaraon
Equipment that complies with direcve 2014/30/EU concerning electromagnec compability
(EMC) and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings
and not for domesc use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribuon
system.
Dicules may arise in assuring class A electromagnec compability for systems installed in domesc
locaons due to conducted and radiated emissions.
In the case of electromagnec problems, it is the responsibility of the user to resolve the situaon.
It may be necessary to shield the equipment and t suitable lters on the mains supply.
LF Declaraon
Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements.
Due to the elevated absorbance of the primary current from the power supply network, high
power systems aect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connecon
restricons or maximum impedance requirements permied by the network at the public network
connecon point must be applied to these systems.
In this case, the installer or the user is responsible for ensuring the equipment can be connected,
consulng the electricity provider if necessary.
