SAFETY
SECTION 1 Safety
WARNING
Hydrogen Explosion Hazard.
Hydrogen explosions can cause personal
injury or death.
Hydrogen can create explosive gas
pockets in the water table. These pockets
will explode when ignited by sparks or the
plasma arc.
Before cutting, be aware of possible
•
hydrogen sources in the water table
– molten metal reaction, slow chemical
reaction and some plasma gases.
Explosive gas pockets accumulate
•
underneath the cutting plate and
inside the water table.
Clean slag (especially ne particles)
•
from bottom of table frequently. Rell
table with clean water.
Do not leave plate on table overnight.
•
If water table has not been used for
•
several hours, vibrate or jolt it to break
up hydrogen pockets before laying
plate on the table.
If possible, change water level between
•
cuts to break up hydrogen pockets.
Maintain water pH level near 7
•
(neutral).
Programmed part spacing should be
•
a minimum of twice the kerf width to
ensure material is always under the
kerf.
If cutting underwater, aerate water
•
under plate with compressed air to
prevent hydrogen pockets.
12
If cutting above water, use fans to
•
circulate air between plate and water
surface.

fuel torches before starting an ignite
sequence or starting a program that
initiates an ignite sequence.
Never work on an oxy-fuel cutting
•
torch while machine is executing a
program, or while someone is near
machine’s control console. They could
accidentally start an ignite sequence
or a program that initiates an ignite
sequence.
Explosion hazard.
Oxy-fuel torches can create explosive
gas pockets if owing gas is not burned.
These pockets can explode when torch is
ignited.
Never leave gases turned on if a torch
•
fails to ignite.
If un-ignited gas has been owing from
•
a torch more than a few seconds, allow
gas time to dissipate before re-igniting
the torch.
Explosive gas mixtures can accumulate

underneath plate and inside cutting
table. Use fans to dissipate any
possible gas pockets if un-ignited gas
has been owing into cutting table.

grease, and other combustibles.
Do not purge lines close to an ignition
•
source (i.e., ame or cigarette),
towards a person, or near clothing.
Clean all parts used to repair or replace

compressed air to “dust” clothing,
work area, or pressure testing.
Never allow oil, grease, hydrocarbons,
•
or similar organic materials to come
in contact with oxygen or oxygenfuel gas equipment. Oxygen-fuel
gas apparatus does not require
lubrication.
Never use compressed air for blowing
•
out oxygen-fuel gas passages.
Compressed air contains oil that can
burn.
Always refer to oxygen by its proper
•
name - Oxygen. Never call oxygen
“air” which could be confused with
compressed air.

Explosion Hazard.
Compressed gas can explode.
Before using machine, check for leaks
•
at gas connections on all regulators,
valves, and torches.
Open gas valves slowly, and shut

o when machine is inactive for
an extended time. Also, bleed line
pressure when machine is inactive for
an extended time.
Close source valves before servicing
•
any oxygen or fuel-gas lines,
connections, ttings, or regulators.
Bleed regulators completely when
•
changing gas cylinders. De-pressurize
system before performing any
maintenance or disassembly.
Secure all cylinders to prevent falling.
•
Never disconnect any part of system
•
that is under pressure.
Periodically check all ttings for leaks,

CAUTION
CAUTION
SECTION 1
Service Precautions
Establish and Adhere to Preventive
Maintenance.
A composite program can be established
from recommended schedules in the
instruction literature.
Avoid leaving test equipment or hand
tools on machine. Severe electrical
or mechanical damage could occur to
equipment or machine.
Extreme caution should be used when
probing circuitry with an oscilloscope or
voltmeter.
Although many steps have been taken
to protect integrated circuits, they are
susceptible to overvoltage damage.
Test probes should be connected while
machine power is o to prevent accidental
shorting of components.
Be thorough when handling electronic
components. When nished servicing,
conrm that all circuit boards are securely
seated in sockets, all cables are properly
connected, all cabinets are closed and
locked, all guards and covers are replaced.
Never plug or unplug a printed
circuit board while machine power is
on. Instantaneous surges of voltage
and current can damage electronic
components.
Never trace wiring with buzzer or light.
Use an ohm meter or logic probe. When
tracing circuits make certain that tracing
currents do not damage solid-state
devices.

SECTION 1 Safety
Welding On and Around
Machine
Special precautions must be observed
if any arc welding is performed on this
machine.
Failure to observe the following
precautions can result in large induced
currents causing severe damage to
electronic components in machine control
system. Machine damage caused by
improper welding practices is considered
abuse and voids certain warranty
provisions.
Disconnect all cables to Relay Box,
•
Numerical Controller, Tracer System,
and Control Console.
Always connect welder ground cable
•
directly to the part to be welded and as
close to the weld point as possible.
Keep the current path between the
•
ground point and the weld as short as
possible.
Never connect the ground to points
•
where the welding current path could
include moving parts or bolted joints.
This can result in a high resistance
circuit that could divert high current
into the control system and damage
mechanical components (e.g.
bearings).
