• Hot metal and sparks are blown off from the cutting
arch. The flying sparks, hot metal as well as hot objects
and hot device equipment 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 ob-
jects meticulously using suitable covers.
• Do not make cuts in places where flying sparks
could come into contact with flammable material.
• Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and
hot metal.
• Please be careful because sparks and hot materi-
als can easily fall through small gaps and openings
while cutting and land on adjacent areas.
• Please be aware that cutting 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 pre-
vent the power cable from being spread across the
whole room and located on a surface which could
cause an electric shock, sparks or fire outbreak.
• Do not use the plasma cutter to defrost frozen tubes.
Risk of electric shock
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 provided 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 proximi-
ty. 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 stop device) which are easily accessible.
Danger from smoke emission when plasma cutting:
• Inhalation of fumes which result from plasma cutting
can endanger health.
• Do not keep your head in the fumes.
26 | GB
• Use the device in open areas.
• Only use the device in well-ventilated spaces.
Danger from flying sparks when plasma cutting:
• Cutting sparks can cause an explosion or fire.
• Keep flammable substances away from the cutting
location.
• Do not use the plasma cutter near flammable sub-
stances.
• Cutting sparks can cause fires.
• Keep a fire extinguisher close by and an observer
should be present to be able to use it immediately.
• Do not carry out plasma cutting on drums or any
other closed containers. Danger from arc beams:
• Arc beams can damage your eyes and injure your
skin.
• Wear a hat and safety goggles.
• Wear hearing protection and high, closed shirt col-
lars.
• Use a welding safety helmet and make sure that the
filter setting is correct.
• Wear complete body protection. Danger from elec-
tromagnetic fields:
• Cutting current generates electromagnetic fields.
• Do not use if you have a medical implant.
• Never wrap the cutting cable around your body.
• Guide cutting cables together. Welding shield-spe-
cific safety instructions
• With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) ex-
amine the proper functioning of the welding shield
prior to starting with any cutting work.
• Cut spatters can damage the protective screen. Im-
mediately replace damaged or scratched protective
screens.
• Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminat-
ed or splattered components.
• The device must only be operated by people over
the age of 16.
• Please familiarise yourself with the cutting safety in-
structions. To that end, you must also observe the
safety instructions of your plasma cutter.
• Always wear a welding helmet while welding and
plasma cutting. If it is not used, you could sustain
severe lesions to the retina.
• Always wear protective clothing during welding and
plasma cutting operations.
• Never use the welding shield without the protective
screen because this could damage the optical unit.
There is a risk of damage to the eyes!
• Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure
good visibility and fatigue proof work.
