1.02 Important Safety Precautions

WARNING

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF

PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAN-

GEROUS 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 cut-

ting process can be dangerous and hazardous to

your health.

• Keep all fumes and gases from the breath-

ing area. Keep your head out of the welding

fume plume.

• Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is

not adequate to remove all fumes and gases.

• The kinds of fumes and gases from the plas-

ma 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 cut-

ting, produces fumes or gases which contain

chemicals known to the State of California to

cause birth defects and, in some cases, can-

cer. (California Health & Safety Code Sec.

25249.5 et seq.)

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-2 Manual 0-4976

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 work-

place.

• Never touch any parts that are electrically

“live” or “hot.”

• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate your-

self 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ammable

material in the workplace. Any material that

cannot be removed must be protected.

• Ventilateallammableorexplosivevapors

from the workplace.

• Do not cut or weld on containers that may

have held combustibles.

• Providearewatchwhenworkinginanarea

wherere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 hydro-

gen gas that is ignited will cause an explo-

sion.

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 lev-

els.

• 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 arc

rays will damage your eyes and burn your skin if

you are not properly protected.

• To protect your eyes, always wear a welding

helmet or shield. Also always wear safety

glasses with side shields, goggles or other

protective eye wear.

• Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing

to protect your skin from the arc rays and

sparks.

• Keep helmet and safety glasses in good

condition. Replace lenses when cracked,

chipped or dirty.

• Protect others in the work area from the

arc rays. Use protective booths, screens or

shields.

• Use the shade of lens as suggested in the fol-

lowing per ANSI/ASC Z49.1:

Minimum Protective Suggested

Arc Current Shade No. Shade No.

Less Than 300* 8 9

300 - 400* 9 12

400 - 800* 10 14

* These values apply where the actual arc is

clearly seen. Experience has shown that lighter

ﬁlters may be used when the arc is hidden by the

workpiece.
