INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH MUST
BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR
THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE
HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
THE USER MUST THEREFORE BE EDUCATED AGAINST
THE HAZARDS, SUMMARIZED BELOW, DERIVING
FROM WELDING OPERATIONS. FOR MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION, ORDER THE MANUAL CODE 3.300.758.
NOISE.
This machine does not directly produce noise
exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding
procedure may produce noise levels beyond said
limit; users must therefore implement all precautions re-
quired by law.
MAGNETIC FIELDS - May be dangerous.
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Ma-
gnetic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and po-
wer sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) shall consult their physician be-
fore beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot
welding operations.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have
other health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/
cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together - Secu-
re them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead cable
is on your right side, the work cable should also be on
your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
EXPLOSIONS.
· Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under
pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regu-
lators used in welding operations should be handled with
care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the in-
structions contained in the standard IEC 60974-10 (CL.
A), and must be used solely for professional purposes
in an industrial environment. There may be potential
38
difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility
in non-industrial environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste!In observance of European Di-
rective 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Elec-
tronic Equipment and its implementation in accordance
with national law, electrical equipment that has reached
the end of its life must be collected separately and retur-
ned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
As the owner of the equipment, you should get informa-
tion on approved collection systems from our local re-
presentative. By applying this European Directive you will
improve the environment and human health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
