    INTRODUCTION The quality and reliability of the components assembled on a Baileigh Industrial Holdings LLC machine guarantee near perfect functioning, free from problems, even under the most demanding working conditions. However, if a situation arises, refer to the manual first. If a solution cannot be found, contact the distributor where you purchased our product.

  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS OPERATORS MANUAL CAREFULLY It contains important safety information, instructions, and necessary operating procedures. The continual observance of these procedures will help increase your production and extend the life of the equipment. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LEARN TO RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol.
  • Page 6 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. PROTECT EYES Wear safety glasses or suitable eye protection when working on or around machinery. PROTECT SKIN Keep hands and body protected from the plasma arc and hot sparks. The heat from the plasma arc is very intense and can pierce the skin resulting in serious burns.
  • Page 7 CUTTING SPARKS A spark or piece of hot metal can fly out of the arc while cutting. Remove all flammable materials from the plasma cutting area. Wear approved eye protection, and proper hand and body protection. Make sure the cutting tip is not grounded when sitting idle, which could cause heat buildup, resulting in a possible fire.
