SAFETY

The symbol shown in this section means: !Caution! !Beware!

¡There are possible hazards with this procedure!

When you ﬁnd this symbol in the manual or on the system,

be cautious, and follow the related instructions to avoid the

hazard�

Follow the safety instructions to avoid danger�

Only qualiﬁed persons should install, operate, maintain and

repair the system�

Keep out of reach of children�

Prolonged exposure to noise from plasma cutting/gouging

can cause hearing damage�

• Use approved ear protection when operating the

plasma system�

• Warn others about the dangers of noise�

NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING

!CAUTION!

Arc rays from the cutting/gouging processes produce intense

visible and invisible rays that can burn eyes and skin�

Use protective clothing made from durable, ﬂame-resistant

material, appropriate footwear and hand protection�

• Use face protection (welding helmet or shield) with

the correct shade of ﬁlter lens ﬁtted to protect your

eyes and face (see Table 1�1)�

• Warn people of the dangers of looking at the arc, use

signs to warn/inform�

PLASMA ARC RAYS CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN

Flying sparks are created during the metal cutting/gouging

processes; the area should be kept free from ﬂammables�

• Use face shield/safety glasses with side protection�

• Wear ﬂame resistant clothing, footwear and hand

protection�

• Use earplugs/defenders that are ﬂame resistant to

prevent sparks entering the ear and to reduce the

noise level�

FLYING SPARKS (ARC SPRAY) CAN

CAUSE INJURY, FIRE OR EXPLOSION

CAUTION!

READ OPERATOR’S MANUAL

EX-TRAFIRE®30H

Operator Manual, Revision T-15 7

Touching electrical parts could cause a fatal shock or severe

burns�

• Do not touch live electrical components�

• Wear dry insulated gloves, shoes and protective clothing�

• Insulate yourself from the work and ground using dry

insulating material large enough for the work area�

• The working area should be clean and dry�

• Switch OFF the system for cleaning and maintenance

operations�

• Do not wrap cables around your body�

• Turn OFF the power supply when remain not used�

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

• Periodically check the power supply cable, the

insulation must be intact� Replace the power supply

cable immediately if damaged� DO NOT use the

system with bare or exposed wires, this is highly

dangerous�

• Before removing the cover or handling any of the

internal components of the system, wait 5 (FIVE)

minutes to ensure complete discharge of the

capacitors�

• Keep the system in good condition; repair or replace

damaged parts immediately� Maintain the system in

accordance with the manual�

FIRE PREVENTION

• Keep ﬂammable items away from the work area�

• Ensure that there is a fully charged ﬁre extinguisher in the

work area

• Ventilate the work area, check for ﬂammable/combustible

gases, liquids and materials, remove prior to cutting as

they present a ﬁre risk�

EXPLOSION PREVENTION

• Do not cut in areas containing explosives, ﬂammable

gases or vapors�

• Do not place the system on, over, or near combustible

surfaces�

• Do not operate the system in areas with an atmosphere

containing high concentrations of dust, ﬂammable gases

or vapors�

• Do not use the system to cut pressurised containers that

have not been de-pressurised, vented and cleaned�

Caution! After cutting, the work piece will be HOT!

• Do not touch hot parts bare handed, wear suitable

hand protection�

• Allow cooling time before handling�

CUTTING CAN CAUSE FIRE

OR EXPLOSION

Flying sparks are created during the metal cutting/gouging

processes; the area should be kept free from ﬂammables�

• Use face shield/safety glasses with side protection�

• Wear ﬂame resistant clothing, footwear and hand

protection�

• Use earplugs/defenders that are ﬂame resistant to

prevent sparks entering the ear and to reduce the

noise level�

FLYING SPARKS (ARC SPRAY) CAN

CAUSE INJURY, FIRE OR EXPLOSION

The plasma arc is activated immediately after the torch trigger

is depressed�

• Turn off the power before changing the torch

consumables, the plasma arc can burn through skin and

gloves�

• Do not place the hand or hold the work piece near the

cutting path�

• Do not point the torch toward yourself or other persons�

EX-TRAFIRE®30H

Operator Manual, Revision T-158

Gas cylinders containing gas under high pressure, if

damaged, there is a possibility of explosion�

• Handle and use compressed gas cylinders in accordance

with local or national codes�

• Never allow electrical contact between the plasma arc

and a bottle�

• Never expose cylinders to excessive heat, sparks, slag or

ﬂames�

Induction heating of certain materials, adhesives, and ﬂuxes

may cause fumes or smoke�

Breathing the fumes and smoke can be hazardous to your

health

• Keep your face out of the smoke, do not breathe the

fumes�

• Use local exhaust ventilation for fume removal�

• If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied

respirator�

SMOKE AND GASES CAN

BE HAZARDOUS

• Work in a conﬁned space only if it is well ventilated,

or while wearing an air-supplied respirator� The

smoke and gases from the cutting/gouging process

can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing

injury or death�

• Monitor the breathable air quality as required�

MAGNETIC FIELD CAN

AFFECT PACEMAKERS

• People with pacemakers/hearing aids should avoid

close contact with plasma arc power supply�

• People with pacemakers/hearing aids should consult

their doctor before operating plasma arc power

supply�

Do not exceed the recommended duty

cycle, this can lead to overheating

and cause damage to the system�

• Allow a suitable cooling off period with high demand

usage�

• Observe the duty cycle rating shown on the label

attached to the system�

PLASMA CUTTING CAN

CAUSE INTERFERENCE

• Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive

electronic equipment such as computers, or

computer-driven equipment�

• Ensure that all equipment in the cutting area is

electromagnetically compatible�

• Ensure that the plasma arc cutting system is installed

and positioned in accordance with this manual�
