Before changing the torch parts, disconnect the main power or unplug the power supply. After
changing the torch parts and returning the retaining cap to its operating position, plug the power
supply in again.
Never bypass or shortcut the safety interlocks.
Before removing a power supply cover for maintenance, disconnect the main power at the wall
disconnect switch or unplug the power supply. To avoid exposure to severe electrical hazard, wait
five minutes after disconnecting the main power to allow capacitors to discharge.
Wear insulated gloves and boots to maintain proper insulation against electrical shock. If you must
work in or near a damp area, use extreme caution.
Check cable often for any cracking or peeling of covers and replace defective wiring
IMMEDIATELY!
NOTE! To avoid a tripping hazard, it is suggested that bright Safety Tape be put around the ground
rod and any cable that must lay in a space where people walk.
NOTE! Personal Protection - Keep your body and clothing dry. Do not operate the Vulcan in a wet
or damp environment without proper insulation against ELECTROCUTION!
Do not stand, sit, or
otherwise be in any contact with water while operating machine or ELECTROCUTION may result!
Do not operate the Vulcan if any of its electrical cables, torch leads, or the torch itself is damaged.
Do not attempt any maintenance to the Vulcan, including service to torch, plasma unit, or power
supply,
without first disconnecting power from machine entirely by shutting off the main disconnect!
EXPLOSION PREVENTION - WARNING: The plasma system uses compressed gas. Observe
proper precautions when handling and using compressed gas equipment and cylinders. Refer to
the Index at the end of this section.
When cutting with the plasma system, do not cut in atmospheres containing explosive dust or
vapors. Do not cut pressurized cylinders or any closed container.
Compressed Gas Cylinders - Be certain to take correct precautions when handling and operating
compressed gas equipment and cylinders.
Handle and use any compressed gas cylinder in strict accordance with safety standards such as
published by the Compressed Gas Association in Arlington, VA. (CGA), American Welding Society
in Miami, Fla. (AWS), and the Canadian Standards Association in Ontario, Canada (CSA).
Do not move a cylinder unless its protective valve cover is in place. Do not use a cylinder unless it
is secured in place,
upright.
Do not use a cylinder that leaks or is otherwise physically damaged. Do not use hammers or any
other implement to force a stuck valve open. Return cylinders with any such defects to supplier.
Do not lubricate cylinder valve(s) with oil or grease.
Never move or transport a cylinder without the protective valve cover in place.
Do not use a cylinder or its contents
for any other purpose than that for which it was designed.
Do not allow a cylinder near electrical hazards such as welding arcs, or expose cylinder to an open
flame or excessive heat, sparks, or slag of any kind, which can cause rupture or explosion.
Hose - Label and color-code all gas hoses in order to clearly identify the type of gas in each hose.
Consult applicable national, state, or local codes.
