READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand these product instructions before using the Eastwood Versa-Cut 4' X 4' CNC Plasma Table.
• Keep these product instructions for future reference.
• Plasma cutting produces sparks which can be discharged considerable distances at high velocity igniting flammable or explosive vapors
and materials. Keep flammables a minimum of 6 feet [1.8m] away from the edge of the Eastwood Versa-Cut 4' X 4' CNC Plasma Table.
• DO NOT operate electric arc Plasma Cutter in areas where flammable or explosive vapors are present.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby while plasma cutting.
• The heat and sparks of plasma cutting operations can easily start a fire. DO NOT allow the CNC Plasma Table to operate unsupervised.
• Always disconnect the CNC Plasma Table and Plasma Cutter from the electrical power supply before leaving them unattended for long
periods of time.
• Pressurized air discharge can eject metal particles, dirt and debris at high velocity. Always wear ANSI approved eye protection when
operating the Plasma Table.
• The electromagnetic field that is generated during plasma cutting may interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as
cardiac pacemakers. Anyone using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any plasma cutting operations.
• Exposure to the electromagnetic fields generated while plasma cutting may have other health effects which are not known.
• Arc rays produce intense ultraviolet radiation which can burn exposed skin and cause eye damage. Use a shield with the proper filter (a
minimum of #5) to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when plasma cutting or when observing the plasma arc cutting
(see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 for safety standards).
• Use suitable clothing (long pants, long sleeves, closed toe shoes, gloves) made from durable flame-resistant material for skin protection.
• If other persons or pets are in the area of plasma cutting, use welding screens to protect bystanders from sparks and arc rays.
• Plasma cutting can generate excessive noise. Wear appropriate hearing protection while operating a plasma cutter.
