ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
Electric current used with plasma cutting creates electric and magnetic
fields (EMF). These magnetic fields can have an effect on pacemakers
and other sensitive electronic equipment. If you wear a pacemaker or
similar device contact your doctor before operating this type of
equipment. Prolonged exposure to EMF may have other health effects
which are not yet known.
CUTTING SPARKS
A spark or piece of hot metal can fly out of the arc while cutting.
Remove all flammable materials from the plasma cutting area.
Wear approved eye protection, and proper hand and body
protection. Make sure the cutting tip is not grounded when sitting
idle, which could cause heat buildup, resulting in a possible fire.
PROTECT SKIN
Keep hands and body protected from the plasma arc
and hot sparks. The heat from the plasma arc is very
intense and can pierce the skin resulting in serious
burns. Always wear gloves and suitable clothing. DO
NOT touch hot piece part without gloves.
DUST HAZARD
Wear appropriate dust mask. Dust created while using machinery can
cause cancer, birth defects, and long term respiratory damage. Be aware
of the dust hazards associated with all types of materials.

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
In the event of incorrect operation or dangerous conditions, the machine
can be stopped immediately by pressing the E-STOP button. Twist the
emergency stop button clockwise (cw) to reset. Note: Resetting the E-
Stop will not start the machine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Metal working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, hold-downs, safety glasses, dust masks and hearing
protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor
judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in
the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and
check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any
packing material.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy coating and/or grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. Fully and completely remove this protective coating using a
degreaser or solvent cleaner. Moving items will need to be moved along their travel path to
allow for cleaning the entire surface. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally
have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted
surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
Important: This waxy coating is NOT a lubricant and will cause the machine to
stick and lose performance as the coating continues to dry.
WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic
bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children
and animals.
If any parts are missing, DO NOT place the machine into service until the missing
parts are obtained and installed correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
•The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 –2 times the machines gross weight.
•Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
•Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
•Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
•Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
•Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
•Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
Follow these guidelines when lifting crane or hoist:
•Always lift and carry the machine with the lifting holes provided at the top of the machine.
•Use lift equipment such as straps, chains, capable of lifting 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the
machine.
•Take proper precautions for handling and lifting.
•Check if the load is properly balanced by lifting it an inch or two.
•Lift the machine, avoiding sudden accelerations or quick changes of direction.
•Locate the machine where it is to be installed, and lower slowly until it touches the floor.
NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a
truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting
chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
•Overall weight of the machine.
•Weight of material being processed.
•Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
•Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
•Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
•Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
•Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
•Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
•Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
•If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
•LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface. This machine requires a solid floor such
as concrete at a minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.
•FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
•This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6”
(153mm) minimum is preferred.
•WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
•POWER SUPPLY PLACEMENT: The power supply should be located close enough to the
machine so that the power cord is not in an area where it would cause a tripping hazard. Be
sure to observe all electrical codes if installing new circuits and/or outlets.
