An operation, procedure, or background information
which requires additional emphasis or is helpful in efficient operation of the system.
CAUTION
A procedure which, if not properly followed, may cause
damage to the equipment.
WARNING
A procedure which, if not properly followed, may cause
injury to the operator or others in the operating area.
1.02 Important Safety Precautions
• Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not adequate to
remove all fumes and gases.
• The kinds of fumes and gases from the plasma arc depend on the
kind of metal being used, coatings on the metal, and the different
processes. You must be very careful when cutting or welding
any metals which may contain one or more of the following:
Antimony Chromium Mercury
Arsenic Cobalt Nickel
Barium Copper Selenium
Beryllium Lead Silver
Cadmium Manganese Vanadium
• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should
be supplied with the material you are using. These MSDSs will
give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes
and gases that may be dangerous to your health.
• For information on how to test for fumes and gases in your
workplace, refer to item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications in
this manual.
• Use special equipment, such as water or down draft cutting
tables, to capture fumes and gases.
• Do not use the plasma torch in an area where combustible or
explosive gases or materials are located.
• Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the vapors of chlorinated solvents and cleansers. Remove all sources of these vapors.
• This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes
or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California
Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.5 et seq.)
WARNINGS
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC
EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS
TO YOUR HEALTH.
Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near plasma
arc cutting applications should consult their medical health
professional and the manufacturer of the health equipment to determine whether a hazard exists.
To prevent possible injury, read, understand and follow
all warnings, safety precautions and instructions before
using the equipment. Call 1-603-298-5711 or your local
distributor if you have any questions.
GASES AND FUMES
Gases and fumes produced during the plasma cutting process can be
dangerous and hazardous to your health.
• Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area. Keep your
head out of the welding fume plume.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma arc process uses and
produces high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause
severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace.
• Never touch any parts that are electrically “live” or “hot.”
• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work
piece or other parts of the welding circuit.
• Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
• Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp.
• Install and maintain equipment according to NEC code, refer to
item 9 in Subsection 1.03, Publications.
• Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
• Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc.
• Be sure there is no combustible or flammable material in the
workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected.
• Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors from the workplace.
• Do not cut or weld on containers that may have held combustibles.
Manual 0-5133
1-1
ULTRA-CUT 200
• Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards
may exist.
• Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminum
workpieces when they are cut underwater or while using a water
table. DO NOT cut aluminum alloys underwater or on a water
table unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated.
Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.
1.03 Publications
Refer to the following standards or their latest revisions for more information:
1. OSHA, SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS, 29CFR 1910,
obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402
NOISE
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc processes can
cause noise levels to exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears
from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
• To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear
plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect others in the workplace.
• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound)
do not exceed safe levels.
• For information on how to test for noise, see item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications, in this manual.
PLASMA ARC RAYS
Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The plasma
arc process produces very bright ultra violet and infra red light. These

2.02 Plasma Power Supply
The power supply provides the necessary current for cutting operations. The power supply also monitors system
performance, and cools and circulates the liquid coolant for the torch and leads.
2.03 Remote Arc Starter
This unit produces a temporary HF pulse to start the pilot arc. The pilot arc creates a path for the main arc to
transfer to the work. When the main arc is established, the pilot arc shuts off.
2.04 Gas Control Module
This module allows remote setting of gas selection, pressures, and flows together with setting of cutting current.
2.05 Precision Plasma Cutting Torch
The torch delivers the controlled current to the work through the main arc, causing the metal to be cut.
