Hot metal and sparks are blown
off from the cutting arch. The
flying sparks, hot metal as well as
hot objects and hot device equip-
ment can cause fires or burns.
Check the working environment
and make sure the workplace is
suitable prior to using the device.
Remove all flammable material
within 10 m of the plasma
cutter. If this is not possible,
cover the objects meticulously
using suitable covers.
Do not make cuts in places
where flying sparks could
come into contact with flamma-
ble material.
Protect yourself and others
from flying sparks and hot
metal.
Please be careful because
sparks and hot materials can
easily fall through small gaps
and openings while cutting
and land on adjacent areas.
Please be aware that cut-
ting on a ceiling, floor or a
partition can cause a fire on
the opposite side that is not
visible.
Connect the power cable using
the shortest route with a socket
situated close to the workplace
to prevent the power cable
from being spread across the
whole room and located on a
surface which could cause an
10
GB/IE/NI/CY/MT
electric shock, sparks or fire
outbreak.
Do not use the plasma cutter to
defrost frozen tubes.
Risk of electric shock:
WARNING!
f Electric shock from the cutting
electrode can be fatal.
Do not use the plasma cutter
when it is raining or snowing.
Wear dry insulating gloves.
Do not touch the electrodes
with bare hands.
Do not wear wet or damaged
gloves.
Protect yourself from electric
shock with insulation against
the workpiece.
Do not open the device housing.
Additional protection against a
shock from the mains power in
the event a fault can be pro-
vided by using a fault-circuit
interrupter, which is operated
with a leakage current of no
more than 30 mA and covers
all mains-powered devices in
close proximity. The fault-circuit
interrupter must be suitable for
all types of current.
There must be means of rapid
electrical isolation of the
cutting power source or the
cutting circuit (e.g. emergency
