PROTECTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS
Plasma cutting can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Cutting exposes the user to dangerous heat, arc rays, electromagnetic elds, noise, gas fumes, and electrical shocks. People wearing pacemakers are
advised to consult with their doctor before using this device.
To protect oneself as well as the other, ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
In order to protect you from burns and radiations, wear clothing without cuffs. These clothes must be insulated, dry, reproof and
in good condition, and cover the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which guarantee electrical and thermal insulation.
Use sufcient welding protective gear for the whole body: hood, gloves, jacket, trousers... (varies depending on the application/
operation). Protect the eyes during cleaning operations. Do not operate whilst wearing contact lenses.
It may be necessary to install reproof welding curtains to protect the area against arc rays, weld spatters and sparks.
Inform the people around the working area to never look at the arc nor the molten metal, and to wear protective clothes.
Ensure ear protection is worn by the operator if the work exceeds the authorised noise limit (the same applies to any person in
the welding area).
Stay away from moving parts (e.g. engine, fan...) with hands, hair, clothes etc...
Never remove the safety covers from the cooling unit when the machine is plugged in - The manufacturer is not responsible for
any accident or injury that happens as a result of not following these safety precautions.
The pieces that have just been welded are hot and may cause burns when manipulated. During maintenance work on the torch or
the electrode holder, you should make sure it’s cold enough and wait at least 10 minutes before any intervention. The cooling unit
must be on when using a water cooled torch in order to ensure that the liquid does not cause any burns.
ALWAYS ensure the working area is left as safe and secure as possible to prevent damage or accidents.
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
The fumes, gases and dust produced during cutting are hazardous. It is mandatory to ensure adequate ventilation and/or
extraction to keep fumes and gases away from the work area. An air fed helmet is recommended in cases of insufcient air supply
in the workplace.
Check that the air intake is in compliance with safety standards.
Care must be taken when welding in small areas, and the operator will need supervision from a safe distance. Welding certain pieces of metal
containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium can be extremely toxic. The user will also need to degrease the workpiece before welding.
Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area. The cylinders must be in a vertical position secured to a support or trolley.
Do not weld in areas where grease or paint are stored.

EN
FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Protect the entire cutting area. Compressed gas containers and other inammable material must be moved to a minimum safe
distance of 11 meters.
A re extinguisher must be readily available.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks. It can be the source of a re or an explosion.
Keep people, ammable objects and containers under pressure at a safe distance.
Cutting of sealed containers or closed pipes should not be undertaken, and if opened, the operator must remove any inammable or explosive
materials (oil, petrol, gas...).
Grinding operations should not be directed towards the device itself, the power supply or any ammable materials.
ELECTRIC SAFETY
The machine must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. Use the recommended fuse size.
An electrical discharge can directly or indirectly cause serious or deadly accidents .
Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in (Torches, earth cable, cables, electrodes) because they are
connected to the welding 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 electrode holder and earth clamp at the same time.
Damaged cables and torches must be changed by a qualied and skilled professional. Make sure that the cable cross section is adequate with the
usage (extensions and welding cables). Always wear dry clothes in good condition, in order to be insulated from the electrical circuit. Wear insulating
shoes, regardless of the 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 difculties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility on these
sites, because of the interferences, as well as radio frequencies.
This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12 and is intended to be connected to private low-voltage systems
interfacing with the public supply only at the medium- or high-voltage level. On a public low-voltage power grid, it is the
responsibility of the installer or user of the device to ensure, by checking with the operator of the distribution network, which
device can be connected.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-11 standard.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
The electric currents owing through a conductor cause electrical and magnetic elds (EMF). The cutting current generates an
EMF eld around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
The EMF elds may disrupt some medical implants, such as pacemakers. Protection measures should be taken for people wearing medical implants.
For example, access restrictions for passers-by or an individual risk evaluation for the welders.
All operators should take the following precautions in order to minimise exposure to the electromagnetic elds (EMF) generated by the cutting circuit::
• position the welding cables together – if possible, attach them;
• keep your head and torso as far as possible from the welding circuit;
• never enroll the cables around your body;
• never position your body between the welding cables. Hold both welding cables on the same side of your body;
• connect the earth clamp as close as possible to the area being welded;
• do not work too close to, do not lean and do not sit on the welding machine.
People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Exposure to electromagnetic elds while welding may have other health effects which are not yet known.
RECOMMANDATIONS TO ASSES THE AREA AND WELDING INSTALLATION
Overview
The user is responsible for installing and using the cutting equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic
disturbances are detected, it is the responsibility of the user of the cutting equipment to resolve the situation with the manufacturer’s technical
assistance. In some cases, this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to construct an
electromagnetic shield around the welding power source and around the entire piece by tting input lters. In all cases, electromagnetic interferences
must be reduced until they are no longer bothersome.

Cutting area assessment
Before installing the machine, the user must evaluate the possible electromagnetic problems that may arise in the area where the installation is
planned.
In particular, it should consider the following:
a) the presence of other power cables (power supply cables, telephone cables, command cable, etc...) above, below and on the sides of the arc
welding machine.
b) television transmitters and receivers ;
c) computers and other hardware;
d) critical safety equipment such as industrial machine protections;
e) the health and safety of the people in the area such as people with pacemakers or hearing aids;
f) calibration and measuring equipment
g)The isolation of the equipment from other machinery.
The user will have to make sure that the devices and equipments that are in the same room are compatible with each other. This may require extra
precautions;
h) make sure of the exact hour when the welding and/or other operations will take place.
The surface of the area to be considered around the device depends on the the building’s structure and other activities that take place there. The area
taken in consideration can be larger than the limits determined by the companies.
Cutting area assessment
Besides the welding area, the assessment of the cutting systems intallation itself can be used to identify and resolve cases of disturbances. The
assessment of emissions must include in situ measurements as specied in Article 10 of CISPR 11: 2009. In situ measurements can also be used to
conrm the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
EN
RECOMMENDATION ON METHODS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS REDUCTION
a. National power grid: The arc cutting machine must be connected to the national power grid in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation.
If interferences occur, it may be necessary to take additional preventive measures such as the ltering of the power suplly network. Consideration
should be given to shielding the power supply cable in a metal conduit. It is necessary to ensure the shielding’s electrical continuity along the cable’s
entire length. The shielding should be connected to the cutting current’s source to ensure good electrical contact between the conduct and the casing
of the welding current source..
b. Maintenance of the cutting equipment: The cutting machine should be be submitted to a routine maintenance check according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. All accesses, service doors and covers should be closed and properly locked when the cutting equipment is on. The
cutting equipment must not be modied in any way, except for the changes and settings outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions. The spark gap of
the arc start and arc stabilization devices must be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
c. Cutting cables: Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on the ground.
d. Electrical bonding : consideration shoud be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area. However, metal objects connected to
the workpiece increase the riskof electric shock if the operator touches both these metal elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the
operator from such metal objects.
e. Earthing of the cutted part : When the part is not earthed - due to electrical safety reasons or because of its size and its location (which is the
case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part can, in some cases but not systematically, reduce emissions It is preferable
to avoid the earthing of parts that could increase the risk of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate
that the earthing of the part is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it is appropriate that the connection is
made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce perturbation issues. The
protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specic situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE CUTTING MACHINE
The machine is tted with handle(s) to facilitate transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the machine’s weight. The
handle(s) cannot be used for slinging.
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an upright position.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
A clear path is available when moving the item.
