only be performed by qualified authorised staff.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bin-
ding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Electrical safety

Operation is only allowed with a safety
switch against stray current (RCD max. stray
current of 30mA).
Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of
suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying
with current regulations.
Incorrect electrical installation, a supply voltage
which is too high or incorrect handling may lead to
an electric shock. Any electric shock may be fatal.
Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5
meters and with a cable cross-section of not less than
1.5 mm2. Use of extension cables of different length
and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple
sockets should be avoided.
Warning: This power tool generates an
electromagnetic field during operation. Under
certain circumstances, this field may affect
active or passive medical implants. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recom-
mend that individuals with medical implants
consult your physician and the manufacturer
of the medical implant before operating the
machine. Persons with life support devices such
as pacemakers should consult their doctor before
approaching this apparatus, to ensure that
magnetic fields and high electrical currents will
not interfere with such devices.
Caution! Danger due to electric shock!
• It is essential to take into account that the pro-
tective conductor in electrical systems or devices
may be destroyed by the cutting voltage in the
event of negligence:
If the arc is not burning, the no-load voltage
between the earth terminal and the contact tip is
U0. This voltage may be fatal if the welder touches
the contact tip, burner nozzle, welding wire and
the workpiece with bare hands.
e.g. the earth terminal is placed on the plasma
cutter housing, which is connected with the
protective conductor of the electrical system. The
welding work is carried out using a machine with
a protective conductor connection. It is therefore
possible to use the machine for cutting work
without having affixed the earth terminal on the
machine.In this case, the cutting voltages moves
from the earth terminal to the machine via the
protective conductor. The high welding voltage
may lead to the protective conductor melting.
• The fuses on the supply lines to the power
sockets must comply with the regulations (VDE
0100). Therefore, according to these regulations,
only fuse and/or automatic circuit breakers which
correspond to the wire cross-section may be used
(16 ampere circuit breakers).
A fuse which does not correspond to the system
may lead to a cable fire and/or building fire
damage.
Only connect the plasma cutter to a socket which is
easily accessible so that you can quickly disconnect it
from the power grid in the event of a fault.
Overloaded supply networks and circuits may lead
to faults for other users during the cutting process.
In case of doubt, the electricity company must be
consulted.
Do not operate the plasma cutter if it has any visible
damage or the power cable and/or mains plug is
defective.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before
the appliance putting into operation.
Cables must always be fully unwound in order to
prevent the hazard posed by increased electroma-
gnetic fields.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock. Lay the power cable so that it does not
become a trip hazard.
Do not bend the power cable.
Protect all cables against oil, sharp edges and high
temperatures.
Defective cable or plug may cause electric shock.
Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of
socket.
The power supply cable is a high-quality cable which
must not be damaged. When carrying out your work,
ensure that you do not contact the cable with hot
