Work safety

Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed.
Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make
sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of
the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused
on the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal
injury or death.
• Do not use the machine in environments where there is a
risk of explosion.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical wires are routed in
the work piece or in the working area.
• Make sure that electrical cables within the working area
are not live.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Do not use the machine in wet or humid surroundings,
close to water, in the rain or snow.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold.

circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30
mA.
• The machine should be connected to an earthed outlet
socket.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition. Always use extension cables that are
approved for outdoor use.
