Important Safety Information
The following information is extremely important and must be
observed, this section is in addition to specific hazard warnings that
are mentioned throughout the manual where appropriate
The operation and routine maintenance of welding equipment can be extremely
dangerous and hazardous to your health and wellbeing.
The electric arc welding process produces strong electric and magnetic emissions
which may cause improper or non-function of cardiac pacemakers, and other
electrical health equipment & devices. Consult your doctor if you are in any doubt
before using or being in close proximity of a working welder.
Electric Shock
Electric shock can injure or kill you, the electric arc welding process requires medium
level voltages at high currents to create the high temperature welding arc. This can
cause serious injury or death to you or others in the workplace if precautions are
not taken.
Never touch any components or parts that are electrically live or hot
Never change rods or parts of the torch when the machine is turned on
Always ensure parts and consumables are replaced when they are worn or damaged
Do not operate the machine in damp or wet conditions
Ensure the machine is used in conjunction with an appropriate RCD
Insulate yourself from the work piece and any other parts of the circuit using
appropriate safety equipment such as gloves
Read and follow all instructions in the operation manual, if you are unsure about any
of them please contact us
The work piece should be earthed either direct to ground or to the earth terminal on
the rear of the machine
Fire and Explosion
When welding there is a risk that sparks, slag, arc, conducted heat or a combination
of these could cause flammable or potentially explosive materials to ignite or
detonate.
Ensure that all combustible materials are removed from the affected area
Protect yourself and flammable materials that cannot be moved
Never weld a container or vessel that has held flammable or volatile substances

Hazardous gases & fumes
Gases produced during the welding process can be dangerous and may affect your
health. Please take precautions to avoid inhaling them
Ensure your work area is well ventilated, or that you are wearing sufficient
protective equipment to avoid inhaling the fumes
Keep your head out of the direct fume plume
All fumes produced during welding can be hazardous to health and should not be
inhaled. Certain materials produce more toxic fumes and great care should be taken
when cutting any material made from or containing any of the following:
Antimony
Arsenic
Beryllium
Cadmium
Chromium
Cobalt
Lead
Manganese
Mercury
Nickel
Selenium
Silver
Titanium
Vanadium
Zinc
Any coated, painted, dipped, galvanised or plated material
Residue from chlorinated solvents
If in doubt, consult the MSDS sheet for any material you are cutting or substance
previously applied to it.

Welding Arc Ultraviolet Radiation
Welding arc radiation can burn your eyes and skin, without adequate protection
your eyes and skin are at risk, if exposed your eyesight can be permanently
damaged please ensure you are wearing adequate PPE.
The following should be treated as a guide as to the minimum shade numbers to use for
eye protection while plasma cutting.
Process: Electric Arc Welding
Current used Minimum shade number
< 60amps 8
60-160amps 9
160-250amps 10
250-500amps 11

Setup, Operation & Connections
Once unpacked please take a moment to identify the various inputs, outputs and controls
on your new PlasmaPart system –key to its operation are:
Mains Input
In this case a 16A 240V plug is pre-wired to your machine, under certain
circumstances you may use your PlasmaPart system whilst connected to a 13amp
240V supply, you must however not use the system with a welding amperage of over
100amps whilst connected to a 13amp standard 3 pin plug, any higher than this and
the unit will draw more than 13amps input current and the 13amp fuse will fail.
Furthermore if you connect your machine to an extension lead ensure that the
conductor size is adequate for the length of lead and current draw of the machine, in
this case at least 4mm2 should be used. If you are in any doubt please consult a
qualified electrician. Always protect yourself and others by using your machine with
an appropriately sized RCD or residual current device.
On / Off switch - this turns the machine on and off
O.C light –this is a general fault light, it will illuminate if the input voltage to the
machine falls below the required level, the machine develops an electronic fault, the
machine overheats, check your power connection, and failing this, call us and we will
help you.
Output current control –this is an infinitely variable rotational knob, which adjusts
from minimum (fully anti-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise) it is linear in
function and with the knob set halfway between the two extremes the output will be
set at the machines mid-point output and so on.
Work piece clamp connection - this is an industry standard Dinze connector and is
used to connect the work piece clamp to.
Turn the machine off before changing rods or adjusting the rod holder. Wear
appropriate safety equipment at all times. Do not allow contact from the
operator with the work piece whilst a cut is made –use suitable gloves.

Thank you again for your purchase and
we hope your PlasmaPart welding system gives you
many trouble free years of operation
