1.02 Important Safety Precautions

WARNING

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC

EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS 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 cutting process can be

dangerous and hazardous to your health.

• Keepallfumesandgasesfromthebreathing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plasma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chlo-

rinated solvents and cleansers. Remove all sources of these

vapors.

• Thisproduct,when usedforweldingorcutting,produces

fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State

of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer.

(California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.5 et seq.)

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 workplace.

• 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 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
