1 Precautions
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
Electric Shock can injure or kill. CNC Saddle Machine operation and many cutting processes use or
produce high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the
operator or others in the work place.
 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 plasma
cutting circuit.
 Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
 Extra care must be taken when work place is moist or damp.
 Install and maintain equipment according to NEC (National Electric Code), refer to publications
section in this manual.
 Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
 Read and follow all the instructions in the operating manuals.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Hot slag, sparks, oxygen-fueled cutting flame or the plasma arc can cause fire and explosion.
 Be sure there are no combustible or flammable materials 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.
 Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards may exist.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The CNC Saddle Machine may operate automatically without warning. Only a trained individual familiar
with the software, machine, and computer system should operate this equipment. Keep the immediate
area around the CNC Saddle Machine clear of materials that may cause interference. Keep area clear of
bystanders. All untrained persons should not work on or near a CNC machine. Do not leave the CNC
machine unattended while power is on to any electronics.
NOISE
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc cutting, oxy/fuel torch cutting, and grinding can
cause noise levels that 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 earplugs 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 refer to the publications section of this manual
