FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Protect the entire working area and ensure that flammable items are stored at a distance of at least 11 meters.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be kept in close proximity when cutting materials.
Be careful of weld spatter and sparks, even through cracks. If not careful then this could potentially lead to a fire or an explosion.
Keep people, flammable materials/objects and containers that are under pressure at a safe distance.
Cutting in containers or pipes should be avoided and, if they are open, then flammable or explosive materials must be removed (oil, fuel, gas...).
Grinding operations should not be carried out close to the power supply or flammable materials.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical mains used must have an earth terminal. Use the recommended fuse size.
An electric shock could cause serious injuries or potentially even deadly accidents.
Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in (Torches, cables, clamps) because they are connected to the cutting
circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the mains and wait 2 minutes, so that all the capacitors are discharged.
Do not touch the torch or and the earth clamp at the same time.
Damaged cables and torches must be changed by a qualified technician. Make sure that the cable cross section is adequate with the usage (extensions
and welding cables). Always wear clothing that are dry and in good condition in order to shield yourself from the cutting circuit. Wear insulating shoes,
regardless of the workplace/environment in which you work in.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
These Class A devices are not intended to be used on a residential site where the electric current is supplied by the public
network, with a low voltage power supply. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility on these
sites, because of the interferences, as well as radio frequencies.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-11 standard.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
The electric current flowing through any conductor causes electrical and magnetic fields (EMF). The cutting current generates
an EMF around the cutting circuit and the cutting equipment.
The EMF electromagnetic fields can interfere with certain medical implants, such as pacemakers. Protective measures must be taken for people having
medical implants. For example, by restricting access to passers-by or conducting an individual risk evaluation for the users.
All users should take the following precautions in order to minimise exposure to the electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by the cutting circuit:
• position the cutting cables together - if possible, attach them;
• keep your head and upper body as far as possible from the cutting circuit;
• never wrap the cable around your body;
• Never position your body between the welding cables. Hold both cutting cables on the same side of your body;
• Connect the earth clamp as close as possible to the area being cutted;
• do not work too close to, do not lean and do not sit on the welding machin ;
• do not cut when you're carrying the cutting machine or its wire feeder
People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not yet identified.
