ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Ensure that you check the equipment thoroughly to ensure it is safe and t for purpose before each
use. It is important that you inspect all plugs, sockets, power cables and electrical ttings for wear and
damage and repair or replace any defective components. The risk of electric shock can be minimised
by the correct use of the appropriate electrical safety devices.
• We recommend that you t a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) in the main distribution board and that a
Residual Current Device (RCD) is used when operating this equipment.
• The Electricity at Work Act 1989 includes legislation that places legal implications on employers to ensure
the safety of electrical devices in the workplace. The regulations dictate that all portable equipment must be
inspected regularly and tested to ensure that it is safe for use. 'Portable equipment' means any electrical item
that can be moved and this is often referred to as Portable Appliance Testing (PAT). PAT testing should be carried
out regularly on this equipment by trained, authorised personnel, as required by the legislation.
• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that it is the responsibility of the owner of electrical appliances to
ensure that both the equipment and working environments are maintained to ensure safe operation at all times.
• Check that all equipment cables are secure, correctly insulated, free from damage, and protected against short
circuit and overload before connecting to the power supply. Do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs, sockets
or other ttings.
• Ensure that the power supply matches voltage requirements specied on the equipment and that the plug is
wired correctly and tted with the correct fuse.
• If the electrical fuse blows, ensure it is replaced by an identical type of fuse with the same rating.
• Never pull or manoeuvre this equipment into position using the power cable.
• Ensure the power cable is kept away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
• We recommend that the equipment is connected directly to the power supply without the use of extension leads
as the resulting voltage drop can reduce motor performance.
• Always disconnect the equipment from the power source before servicing, inspecting, maintaining, cleaning,
replacing or checking any parts.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose the plasma cutter to rain or wet conditions. Any moisture entering a plasma cutter will increase
the risk of electric shock and will result in damage or corrosion.
• When operating the plasma cutter outdoors, use an extension cable that is designed and rated for outdoor use.
• This unit draws enough current to cause serious injury or death. Do not use the plasma cutter unless you are

• If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc, prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side by moving the objects
to a safe location. If relocation of combustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve as a re watch,
equipped with a re extinguisher, during the cutting process and for at least one half hour after the cutting is
completed.
• Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or combustible internal structure, as in walls or
ceilings, without an approved method for eliminating the hazard.
• Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials. Keep a re extinguisher nearby and know
how to use it.
• After cutting, make a thorough examination for evidence of re. Be aware that easily-visible smoke or ame
may not be present for some time after the re has started. Do not weld or cut in atmospheres containing
dangerously reactive or ammable gases, vapours, liquids, and dust. Provide adequate ventilation in work areas
to prevent accumulation of ammable gases, vapours, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that has held
an unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents, when heated, can produce ammable or
explosive vapours.
• Clean and purge containers before applying heat.
• Vent closed containers, including castings, before preheating, welding, or cutting.
• Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, insulating gloves.
• Do not touch electrode or conductor tong with bare hand. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
