What safety precautions should I take before operating the Spectrum 625?

Read all safety precautions in Section 1 of the manual before use. Key precautions include: wearing flame-resistant body protection, keeping combustibles away (35 ft minimum), connecting the work clamp close to the cutting area, wearing appropriate eye protection with a proper shade filter lens, and turning off power before touching or servicing torch parts. Never touch live electrical parts or the torch tip when the pilot arc is active.
