that cannot be controlled with the switch is 
dangerous and must be repaired.

►

Disconnect the plug from the power 
source and/or the battery pack from the 
power tool before making any adjust-
ments ,changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. 

Such preventive safety 

measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power tool accidentally.   

►

Store idle power tools out of the reach 
of children and do not allow persons 
unfamiliar with the power tool or these 
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.

►

Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool’s 
operation. If damaged, have the power 
tool repaired before use.

 Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power 
tools.

►

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind 
and are easier to control.

►

Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits

，

etc. in accordance with these 

instructions, taking into account the 
working conditions and the work to be 
performed. 

Use of the power tool for oper-

ations different from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.

►

Keep handles and grasping surfaces 
dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do 
not allow for safe handling and control of 
the tool in unexpected situations.

Plasma Cutting Machine Safety

Electromagnetic Compatibility Instruction

Before installing and operating the welding 
equipment, the user must evaluate the possi-
ble electromagnetic effects on the surround-
ing area in the immediate vicinity.
Pay attention to:

►

Other network cables, cables and control 
wires, telephone and security cables in 
the vicinity of the welding equipment and / 
or in the immediate vicinity of the welding 
work.

►

Radio and television receivers and trans-
mitters. Computers and other of

fi

 ce equip-

ment.

►

Equipment responsible for the safety of 
production facilities.

►

Devices related to the health of the sur-
rounding people (eg pacemakers, hearing 
aids).

►

Electronic instrumentation. 

Burn protection

►

Sparks, slag, hot metal and arc radiation 
can cause serious damage to eyes and 
skin, and the closer a person is to the 
welding arc, the more serious injury can 
be.

►

Therefore, both the welder and other peo-
ple in the welding area must have appro-
priate protective equipment.

►

We strongly recommend the use of head-
gear, welder’s gloves/gaiters, a flame re-
tardant suit/jacket and pants, boots/boots 
that must cover all areas of the body.

Electric shock protection

►

Any electric shock can be fatal, so always 
avoid touching exposed conductive parts.

►

Use insulating mats and gloves; clothes 
should always be dry.

►

Avoid cutting in places with excessive 
moisture.

►

Ground the equipment in accordance with 
electrical and safety regulations.

►

When replacing the cable, or when remov-
ing the cover from the device, be sure to 
disconnect the device from the mains.

Respiratory protection

►

The smoke and gas generated during 
plasma cutting are hazardous to health.

►

The cutting area must be well ventilated.

►

Metals containing or coated with lead, 
cadmium, zinc, mercury and beryllium can 
release toxic gases in hazardous concen-
trations when exposed to a plasma arc.

►

If it is necessary to cut such materials, it is 
necessary to have exhaust ventilation or 
personal respiratory protection to ensure 

fi

 ltration or supply of clean air.

►

If the coating of such metals cannot be 
removed from the welding site and there 
are no protective equipment, it is strictly 
forbidden to cut. 

Radiation protection

►

The ultraviolet radiation from the plasma 
arc can cause irreparable harm to the eyes 
and skin; therefore be sure to use a weld-
ing helmet / visor and protective clothing.

►

The mask must be fully functional, other-
wise it must be replaced, as the radiation 
from the plasma arc can harm the eyes.

►

It is dangerous to look at the arc with un-
protected eyes at a distance of less than
