WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
The plasma power supply contains dangerous electric voltages that can seriously injure or
kill you.
Even if the plasma power supply is turned OFF, you can still get a serious electric shock if
the plasma power supply remains connected to an electric power source.
Use extreme caution if you do diagnosis or maintenance tasks when the plasma power
supply remains connected to an electric power source and the outer cover or panels are
removed.
WARNING
OXYGEN GAS CAN CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD
If you use oxygen as the plasma gas for cutting, it can cause a potential fire hazard due to
the oxygen-enriched atmosphere that collects.
Hypertherm recommends that you install an exhaust ventilation system to remove the
oxygen-enriched atmosphere that can collect when oxygen is used as the plasma gas for
cutting. A fire can occur if oxygen is not removed.
Flashback arrestors are REQUIRED to stop the spread of fire to the supply gases (unless
a flashback arrestor is not available for a specific gas or pressure).
As an installer or user, you must supply the exhaust ventilation and flashback arrestors for
your cutting system. You can get them from your cutting machine supplier.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Hydrogen is a flammable gas that can cause an explosion or fire. Keep flames away from
cylinders and hoses that contain hydrogen. Keep flames and sparks away from the torch
when using hydrogen as a plasma gas.
Consult your local safety, fire, and building code requirements for the storage and use of
hydrogen.
Hypertherm recommends that you install an exhaust ventilation system to remove the
hydrogen-enriched atmosphere that can collect when hydrogen is used as the plasma gas
for cutting. An explosion or fire can occur if hydrogen is not removed.
