WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord
to carry the tool or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the
Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
1. moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
1. When operating a power tool outside, sue an outdoor
extension cord marker “W-A” or “W”. These extension
cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of
electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental staring. Be sure the Power Switch is
o before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with
the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to
secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not
turn it on or o. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained
and clean. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
1. aect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
2. Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact
TOOLEX INDUSTRIAL for a replacement.

from combustible; protect the combustibles with a cover
made of fire resistant material.
b. Remove or make safe all combustible materials for a
radius of 35 feet (10 meters) around the work area. Use a
fire resistant material to cover or block all open doorways,
windows, cracks, and other openings.
c. Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant
screens. Protect combustible walls, ceilings, floors, etc.,
from sparks and heat with fire resistant covers.
d. If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent
ignition of combustibles on the other side by mobbing
the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation of
combustibles is not possible, designate someone to serve
as a fire watch, equipped with a fire extinguisher, during
the cutting or welding process and for at least one half
hour after the cutting or welding is completed.
e. Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible
coating or combustible internal structure, as in walls or
ceilings, without an approved method for eliminating the
hazard.
f. Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding
combustible materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and
know how to use it.
After welding or cutting, make a thorough examination for
evidence of fire. Be aware that easily visible smoke or flame
may not be present for some time after the fire has started.
Do not weld or cut in atmospheres containing
h. Dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors,
liquids, and dust.
i Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent
accumulation of flammable gases, vapors, and dust. Do
not apply heat to a container that has held an unknown
substance or a combustible material whose contents, when
heated, can produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean
and purge containers before applying heat. Vent closed
containers, including castings, before preheating, welding,
or cutting.
j. Only use compressed air to operate the Plasma Welder/
Cutter. Never use other compressed gases.
WARNING
INHALATION HAZARD: Welding and Plasma Cutting
Produce
TOXIC FUMES.
Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase
the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of
the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may
be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting exhaust
fumes are:
a. Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease
b. Heart disease
c. Ulcers
d. Damage to the reproductive organs
e. Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
f. Kidney damage
g. Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or
pneumonia
Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced
to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.
1. Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases. Always keep
your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Use
enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to keep fumes and
gases from your breathing zone and general area.
• Where ventilation is questionable, have a qualified
technician take an air sampling to determine the need
for corrective measures. Use mechanical ventilation
to improve air quality. If engineering controls are not
feasible, use an approved respirator.
• Work in a confined area only if it is well ventilated, or
while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
• Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits
(PEL’s) for various fumes and gases.
• Follow the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists recommendations for Threshold
Limit Values (TLV’s) for fumes and gases.
• Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or
Environmental Services check the operation and air
quality and make recommendations for the specific
welding or cutting situation.
2. Always keep hoses away from welding/cutting spot.
Examine all hoses and cables for cuts, burns, or worn areas
before each use. If any damaged areas are found, replace
the hoses or cables immediately.
1. Read and understand all instructions and safety
precautions as outlined in the manufacturer’s Manual for
the material you will weld or cut.
1. Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a cart, wall, or
post, to prevent them from falling. All cylinders should be
used and stored in an upright position. Never drop or strike
a cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been dented.
Cylinder caps should be used when moving or storing
cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in specified areas
and clearly marked “empty.”
2. Never use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet
connector, or cylinder valves.
3. Use only supplied Torch on this Inverter Air Plasma
Cutter. Using components from other systems may cause
personal injury and damage components within.
