WARNINGS – SAFETY REGULATIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The instructions in this user manual must be read and understood before
operating the machine. Do not undertake any modifications or maintenance work
that is not included in the user manual.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage to persons or property
resulting from using the product in a manner not in accordance with the
instructions in this user manual. If there are any problems or queries, please
consult a qualified technician to properly set up the equipment.
PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Cutting metal can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. Cutting metal exposes individuals to a dangerous heat source, light radiation from the arc, electromagnetic fields (attention those with pacemakers), risk of electrocution, noise and gas fumes. Follow the following safety guidelines to protect yourself and others:
CUTTING FUMES AND GASES
The fumes, gases and dusts emitted by cutting processes are hazardous to one’s
health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided and an additional air supply
may be necessary. An air-fed mask could be an appropriate solution if the
ventilation is inadequate. Check that the suction is effective by checking it
against safety standards.
Warning: cutting in confined spaces requires remote monitoring for safety.
Furthermore, the cutting of certain materials that contain lead, cadmium,
zinc, mercury or even beryllium, can be particularly harmful; it is important
to degrease parts before cutting them. Gas cylinders should be stored in an
open or well-ventilated area. They must be in an upright position and secured
to a stand or trolley. Cutting applications should not be carried out near
grease or paint.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
The cutting area must be fully protected; flammable materials should be kept
at least 11 metres away. Fire-fighting equipment must be available in the
vicinity of cutting operations.
Beware of hot substances or sparks being projected, even through cracks; these
can cause a fire or explosion. Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised
containers at a safe distance. Cutting in closed containers or tubes should be
avoided; if they are open, they should be emptied of any flammable or
explosive material (oil, fuel and gas residues, etc.). Grinding operations
must not be directed towards the cutting current’s source or any flammable
materials.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Electric shocks can cause serious direct or indirect accidents and even death.
Never touch the torch’s live parts because it is connected to the cutting
circuit. Do not touch the torch and the earth clamp at the same time. Always
use dry and undamaged clothing to insulate yourself from the cutting circuit.
Wear insulated footwear, regardless of your working environment.
CAUTION FOR USE
Never wrap the torch cables around your body. Do not use the torch to move the source of the cutting current. The torch must be completely unwound in order to avoid overheating. Switch off the power source after the torch has cooled down before any maintenance work and before replacing or checking worn parts. Regularly check the torch’s condition. It must be replaced if it becomes damaged.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

TORCH CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
TORCH EQUIPMENT
The torch must be fitted with the correct consumables, chosen according to the application and the set current. Choosing the incorrect consumable will result in cutting defects, premature wearing of the consumables and could even cause the entire unit to malfunction. The torch is supplied with a pot of silicone grease to minimise the seal’s wear and the seizing of metal parts. It is recommended to apply this grease regularly.
Consumables
Regularly check the condition of the protective nozzle, the contact tip and
the electrode for wear and tear, also check these parts if the cutting speed
is significantly reduced. It is advisable to replace the nozzle’s contact tip
and the electrode at the same time.
