Installation Instructions for 81545 
Plasma Cutter 

 

Thank you for purchasing our product. Please read user manual carefully before using. 

 
We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible equipment and service to meet the demanding jobs that you 
have. We want to go beyond delivering a satisfactory product to you. That is the reason we offer technical support to 
assist you with your needs should an occasion occur. With proper use and care your product should deliver years of 
trouble free service.  

 

Safe operation and proper maintenance is your responsibility.  
We have compiled this operator’s manual, to instruct you in basic safety, operation and maintenance of your product to 
give you the best possible experience.  Please carefully read this manual before you operate your unit. This manual is 
not only for the use of the machine, but to assist in obtaining the best performance out of your unit. Do not operate the 
unit until you have read this manual and you are thoroughly familiar with the safe operation of the unit. 
  
The warranty does not cover improper use, maintenance or consumables. Do not attempt to alter any piece or part of 
your unit, particularly any safety device. Keep all shields and covers in place during unit operation should an unlikely 
failure of internal components result in the possible presence of sparks and explosions. If a failure occurs, discontinue 
further use until malfunctioning parts or accessories have been repaired or replaced by qualified personnel.  
 

Note on High Frequency electromagnetic disturbances: 

 

Certain cutting processes generate High Frequency (HF) waves.                   

 

These waves may disturb sensitive electronic equipment such as televisions, radios, computers, cell 
phones, and related equipment. High Frequency may also interfere with fluorescent lights. Consult 
with an electrician if disturbance is noted. Sometimes, improper wire routing or poor shielding may 
be the cause. 

 

HF can interfere with pacemakers. See EMF warnings in following safety section for further information. 
Always consult your physician before entering an area known to have cutting equipment if you have a 
pacemaker.  

 

WARNING

!   Persons with pacemakers should not cut or be in the cutting area until they consult with their 

physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely malfunction while cutting or 
while being in the vicinity of someone cutting. 

Serious injury or death may occur! 

 

Plasma cutting processes generate electromagnetic fields and radiation.

 While the effects of EMF 

radiation are not known, it is suspected that there may be some harm from long term exposure to 
electromagnetic fields. Therefore, certain precautions should be taken to minimize exposure:  
 

 Lay leads and lines neatly away from the body.  

 Never coil cables around the body.   

 Secure cables with tape if necessary to keep from the body.  

 Keep all cables and leads on the same side the body.  

 Never stand between cables or leads.  

 Keep as far away from the power source (welder) as possible while cutting.  

 Never stand between the ground clamp and the torch.  

 Keep the ground clamp grounded as close to the cut as possible.
