PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment approved by
the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
HEAD PROTECTION
DANGER! Never look directly at the welding arc without the
proper protection. The light can cause flash burn damage and
impair vision. Although treatment is possible, multiple
occurrences can result in permanent eye damage.
1. Protect your eyes from welding light by wearing a welder's
helmet fitted with a filter shade suitable for the type of
welding you are doing. The welding process produces
intense white light, infrared and ultraviolet light, these arc
rays can burn both eyes and skin.
1.1. Consult the Welding Shade Guide in Appendix A for
the minimum shade to protect the eyes based on the
amperage and type of welding.
2. An opaque helmet will protect against the ultraviolet or
infrared light. A helmet will also protect against ejected hot
material and slag. The helmet should protect the face,
forehead, ears and neck.
3. Wear a fire-resistant head covering like a skull cap or
balaclava hood to protect your head when the faceplate is
down or when using a welding hand-held face shield.
4. Wear ventilated safety goggles beneath the welding helmet
or behind the hand-held face shield. The cooling weld bead
may fragment or eject slag that can damage the eyes,
when the helmet or hand-held face shield is not in place.
4.1 Eye protection equipment should comply with CSA
Z94.3-07 or ANSI Z87.1 standards based on the type of
work performed.
5. Wear fire resistant ear plugs when welding overhead to
prevent spatter or slag from falling into ear.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1. Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full
foot protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks,
heat, flames and splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics
may burn and melt, resulting in a more severe injury.
1.1 Wear welding capes and sleeves when performing
overhead welding.
2. Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily
or greasy as they may ignite from the heat or ejected slag
and sparks.
3. Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet
or infrared light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.
4. Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such
as pant cuffs, shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has
flaps over pockets or wear clothing to cover the openings
such as pant legs over the boots or an apron over the shirt.
5. Gloves shall should contain an insulating lining to protect
against an electric shock.
6. Rubber soled footwear or electrically insulated work boots
are recommended while working with a plasma cutter. The
non- skid sole is will also help maintain footing and balance
during work.
6.1 Select boots with steel toe protection to prevent injury
from falling objects.
RESPIRATORS
1. Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not
sufficient to remove welding fumes or when there is risk of
oxygen deficiency.
1.1. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on
materials that produce dust or particulate matter.
2. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes and gases

V1.0 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER 8784639

can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or
death. Be sure the breathing air is safe (See Fumes and Gases).
3. The user can take the additional precaution of informing
another person in the work area of the potential danger, so
that person can watch for indications that the user is
suffering from oxygen deprivation.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work
environment to avoid personal injury or damage to the tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medications.
2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become
entangled with the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair
covered or bound.
3. Remove all jewelry or metal items from your person before
welding. Metal items may connect to the plasma cutter’s
electrical circuit, causing an injury or death.
4. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing
and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.
5. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the
tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,
you can suffer serious personal injury.
Welding produces sparks, molten slag, intense white light, plus
infrared and ultraviolet light. A cooling bead can eject chips or
fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the
eyes and skin of the welder or bystanders.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for
a specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it
for an unintended purpose.
2. Welding requires the use a hand-held face shield or
helmets with full face protection per CSA standard Z94.3.1.
3. Protect against reflected arc rays. The rays can reflect off a
shiny surfaces behind the user, into the helmet and off the
filter lens into the eyes. Remove or cover any reflective
surface behind the user such as a glossy painted surface,
aluminum, stainless steel or glass.
4. Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead
can eject chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can
cause direct harm to the eyes or skin of the user or
bystanders.
5. Erect protective screens or barriers to protect bystanders
from the flash and glare; warn others in the area not to
watch the arc. Do not strike a welding arc until all
bystanders and you (the user) have welding shields and/or
helmets in place.
6. Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a
scratched or damaged lens filter to avoid damage to the
eyes or face from arc flash or ejected molten material.
7. Do not handle hot metal or electrode stubs with bare
hands. Handling may result in a burn injury.

V1.0 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER 8784639

8. Do not use the plasma cutter if personal movement is
confined or if there is a danger of falling.
9. Keep all panels and covers securely in place when
operating the plasma cutter.
10. Insulate the ground clamp when not connected to a
workpiece to prevent contact with any metal object.
11. Do not operate the plasma cutter if the torch, welding
cable or ground cable are wet. Do not immerse them in
water. These components and the plasma cutter must be
completely dry before attempting to use them.
12. Do not point the torch or electrode holder at any body part
of yourself or at anyone else.
13. Insulate yourself from the work and the ground using dry
insulation. Make certain that the insulation is large enough
to cover your full area of physical contact.
14. Maintain good ventilation of the louvers on this equipment.
Good ventilation is of critical importance for the normal
performance and service life of this equipment.
15. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to
protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
16. The torch is electrically ‘hot’ when the plasma cutter is
turned on.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal
drops and hot metal parts that can start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible
and/or flammable materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away
from the plasma cutter. Hot debris ejected during welding
can land at a considerable distance away. Solid floors of
concrete or masonry is the preferred working surface.

8784639 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER V1.0
10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
1.1 Cover any combustible material with fire resistant
covers or shields, if it cannot be removed. The covering
must be tight and should not leave openings for sparks
or ejected slag to enter.
1.2. Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible
material. Remove the combustible material
before welding.
2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire resistant
covering. Alternatives are to spray the floor with water to
keep it wet for the duration of the welding or cover with
damp sand. Care must also be taken to avoid an electric
shock when this is done. A combustible floor directly laid
onto concrete does not need to be sprayed with water.
3. Check that there are no structural openings or cracks that
hot debris can enter. Seal any openings found with a fire-
resistant cover. Shut doors and windows that do not provide
ventilation or erect protective screens in front of them
when possible.
4. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines or containers containing
flammable contents.
5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held
flammable or toxic substance until they are cleaned by a
person trained in removing toxic and flammable substances
and vapours per the American Welding Standard AWS F4.1.
6. Open a container before performing any welding work on
it. The heat generated by the welding process will cause
the air and gases to expand. The internal pressure may
cause a sealed or closed container to rupture, possibly
causing an injury or death.
7. Do not weld pipes or metal that are covered in combustible
material or in contact with combustible structure such as a
wall. Only weld if the covering can be safely removed.

V1.0 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER 8784639
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 11
7.1 Follow all safety precautions and legal requirements
before welding a workpiece that contains Asbestos or
attempting to remove the Asbestos covering. This
requires expert knowledge and equipment.
7.2 Molten slag can run down the inside and outside of a
pipe and start a fire. Be aware where the pipe
terminates and take precautions.
8. Do not weld a panel that is a sandwich construction of
combustible and metal materials.
9. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry
chemical fire extinguisher for Types A, B and C is suggested.
9.1 Welding a combustible metal like zinc, magnesium or
titanium requires a Type D fire extinguisher.
9.2 Do not use liquid based fire extinguishing methods
near the electric plasma cutter, as it may cause a
shock hazard.
10. Ventilation systems should be positioned so sparks or
molten slag isn’t carried to an adjacent area.
11. Have a Fire Watcher observing areas outside of the
welder’s view, such as the opposite side of a wall or behind
the welder. A fire may also start on the other side of a
structure that could not be removed. The Fire Watcher will
extinguish a fire or raise the alarm to evacuate if the fire
cannot be contained by the extinguishing equipment.
11.1 A fire watch extends at least 30 minutes after the
welding is complete to ensure there are no fires caused
by smoldering sparks or ejected material.
FUMES AND GASES
WARNING! Stop welding and move to a location with ventilation
if your eyes, nose or throat become irritated. This indicates the
ventilation is not adequate to remove the fumes. Do not resume
welding until the ventilation is improved and the discomfort

8784639 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER V1.0
12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
ceases. Seek medical attention if the symptoms do not diminish
or if the welder experiences nausea, dizziness or malaise.
Welding may produce hazardous fumes and gas during the
welding process. A well ventilated work area can normally
remove the fumes and gases, but sometimes the welding
produces fumes and gases that are hazardous to your health.
1. Only work in a confined space if the area is well ventilated
or while wearing a respirator or an air-supplied respirator.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the
oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing
air is safe. Always have a trained watchperson nearby.
1.1 If ventilation in the work area is poor, use an approved
air-supplied respirator. All the people in the work area
must also have air-supplied respirators.
2. Avoid positions that allow welding fumes to reach your
face. Always attempt to weld ‘upwind’ of the workpiece
with the airflow across the face of the welder. Airflow from
behind may create a low pressure area in front of the
welder and draw the fumes to the person.
3. Ventilate the work area to remove welding fumes and
gases. The fumes and gases should be drawn away from
the user.
3.1 Ventilation should be enough to disperse fumes,
but not enough to disturb the shielding gas or flame
during welding.
3.2 Ventilation exhaust shall be directed to a non-work area
to avoid exposing other people to potential toxic or
dangerous fumes.
3.3 Air removed from the work area by the ventilation system
must be replenished with fresh air to avoid oxygen
starvation or a build-up of fumes or gases. Only use air to
provide ventilation. Any other combination of gases may
be explosive or toxic to people in the work area.

V1.0 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER 8784639
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 13
3.4 Ventilation methods that remove gas and fumes from
the welding point before they reach the welder’s face
should be given preference.
4. Avoid welding in a work area that has vapours from cleaning,
degreasing or any spraying operations. The heat and light
from welding can react with the vapour and form irritating or
potentially toxic gases. Wait for the vapours to disperse.
5. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for
instructions and precautions about metals, consumables,
coatings, cleaners and degreasers.
5.1 Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanized, lead
or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed
from the weld area. The coatings and any metals
containing these elements can give off toxic fumes
during the welding process.
5.2 Do not weld, cut or heat lead, zinc, cadmium, mercury,
beryllium or similar metals without seeking professional
advice and inspection of the welding area’s ventilation.
These metals produce extreme toxic fumes, which can
cause discomfort, illness and death.
5.3 Do not weld or cut near chlorinated solvents or in areas
that chlorinates solvents can enter. The heat or
ultraviolet light of the arc can separate chlorinated
hydrocarbons into a toxic gas (phosgene) that can
poison or suffocate the user or bystanders.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Extended exposure to air tool noise may cause hearing loss.
Ear protection gear can reduce or eliminate the noise level.
2. Inspect the tool's air hose for cracks, fraying or other
faults before each use. Discontinue use if the air hose is
damaged or hissing is heard from the air hose or
connectors, while operating the tool. Replace the
defective component/air hose.

8784639 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER V1.0
14 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
3. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass
over the unprotected air hose. Position the air hose away from
high traffic areas, in a reinforced conduit or place planks on
both sides of the air hose to create a protective trench.
4. Prevent damage to the air hose by observing the following:
4.1 Never carry the tool by the air hose.
4.2 Keep the air hose behind the tool and out of the tool's
work path.
4.3 Keep the air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
4.4 Do not wrap the air hose around the tool as sharp
edges may pierce or crack the air hose. Coil the air
hose when storing.
5. A damaged or disconnected air hose under pressure may
whip around and inflict personal injury or damage the work
area. Secure the compressor's air hose to a fixed or
permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow
immediate control over the air supply in an emergency,
even if a hose is ruptured
7. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be
regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure
rating of the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part
of your body that is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces
resistance to electrical current, increasing the danger of a
serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the
plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.

V1.0 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER 8784639

1. Disconnect the tool from the power supply before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning, servicing
or when storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
2. Do not come into physical contact with the welding current
circuit. The welding current circuit includes:
2.1 The workpiece or any conductive material in contact
with it.
2.2 The ground clamp.
2.3 The electrode or welding wire;
2.4 The output terminals.
3. Insulate yourself from the electrical current and ground
using electrical insulating mats or covers big enough to
prevent physical contact with the workpiece or ground.
4. Connect the ground clamp as close to the welding area on
the workpiece as practical to prevent welding current from
traveling along an unexpected path and causing an electric
shock or fire hazard.
4.1 An option is to attach the ground clamp to a bare
metal spot on a metal workbench. The circuit will
complete as long as the workpiece is also in full contact
with the bare metal workbench.
5. Do not weld on damp surfaces that can transmit the
electric current without taking precautions for the welder
and bystanders. The electrode, welding head and nozzle
are electrically ‘hot’.
6. Only use insulated connectors to join welding cables.
7. Ensure there are no contacts between the workpiece and
work area that would allow it to ground, other than through
the ground cable circuit
8. Do not exceed the duty cycle or amperage required
for the type of welding. Excessive amperage can cause

8784639 30A PRO CUT 30 PLASMA CUTTER V1.0
16 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
the deterioration of protective insulation and create a
shock hazard.
9. Unplug the plasma cutter when not in use as the unit as
current is still entering the unit, even when it is turned off.
10. Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear,
replace the cable immediately if damaged. Bare wiring is
dangerous and can kill.
11. Do not use damaged, under sized or badly joined cables.
12. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the
ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an accidental
startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
12.1 In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as
soon as the power is interrupted. The possibility of
accidental injury could occur, if the power returns and
the unit is not switched off.
13. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements
of your equipment (see Specifications).
