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 specied 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
insulated from the ground and the work piece.
• People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic elds in close proximity to
pacemakers could cause interference or failure.
OPERATION SAFETY
• Move any ammable and explosive materials at least 10 meters from the cutting arc to prevent sparks or molten
metal from starting a re.
• Always keep a type ABC re extinguisher within easy reach as a re precaution.
• Thoroughly clean the object being cut of any paint, grease, or other foreign material.
• Avoid unintentional starting (ensure power switch is set to the OFF / “0” position before connecting to the mains
supply)
• Prepare and securely x the work piece before turning on the plasma cutter.
• Never leave the plasma cutter unattended when it is plugged into an electrical supply.
• Always turn off the plasma cutter, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving the work environment.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable work surface.
• Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and
bibs designed and approved for welding and cut¬ting procedures.
• When welding/cutting overhead or in conned spaces, wear ame resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks
out of ears.
• Enclose the work area with portable re resistant screens where possible. Protect combustible walls, ceilings,
oors, etc., from sparks and heat with re resistant covers.

• 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.
• Protect yourself from electric shock. Always insulate yourself from the work piece and ground. Use
nonammable, dry insulating material if possible, or use dry rubber mats, dry wood or plywood, or other dry
insulating material big enough to cover your full area of contact with the work or ground.
• Never remove the grounding prong or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with this
product.
• Ensure that the unit is placed on a stable location before use. If this unit falls while plugged in, severe injury,
electric shock, or re may result.
• Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases. Always keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
• Use only compressed air at between 80-110psi. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any
bottled gas as an air source for the plasma cutter. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to
people.
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
• Familiarise yourself with the specications, rated duty cycles and operating instructions of this equipment.
• The duty cycle denes the number of minutes, within a 10 minute period, during which a given plasma cutter can
safely produce a particular current as shown on the information label shown on the underside of the equipment:

PLASMA CUTTING
• Mount the metal to be cut to the metal welding/cutting table. It should be mounted so that the cutting debris falls
onto a non-ammable or cement oor.
• Place the plasma cutter unit no closer than 2 meters from the workpiece to be cut.
• Fix the earth / grounding clamp to a part of the workpiece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp
as close as possible to the workpiece but far enough away to avoid damaging the cable during cutting.
• Set the desired current for the type of metal being cut with the current adjustment knob. Generally and
depending on the material, thin metals use low current and heavy metals require higher current.
• Ensure the power switch is set to the OFF / “0” position, then plug the Plasma Cutter’s Power Cord into a
dedicated, 230V electrical supply (or a 110V supply with a suitable adaptor mounted on the power cable) with
delayed action type circuit breaker.
