The flying sparks, hot metal
as well as hot objects and hot
device equipment can cause
fires or burns. Check the working
environment and make sure the
workplace is suitable prior to
using the device.
„
Remove all flammable material
within 10 m of the plasma
cutter. If this is not possible,
cover the objects meticulously
using suitable covers.
„
Do not make cuts in places
where flying sparks could
come into contact with
flammable material.
„
Protect yourself and others
from flying sparks and hot
metal.
„
Please be careful because
sparks and hot materials can
easily fall through small gaps
and openings while cutting
and land on adjacent areas.
„
Please be aware that cutting on
a ceiling, floor or a partition
can cause a fire on the
opposite side that is not visible.
„
Connect the power cable using
the shortest route with a socket
situated close to the workplace
to prevent the power cable
from being spread across the
whole room and located on a
surface which could cause an
electric shock, sparks or fire

is operated with a leakage
current of no more than 30 mA
and covers all mains-powered
devices in close proximity. The
fault-circuit interrupter must be
suitable for all types of current.
